Hey guys every search I try I get a connection error. (on my phone) Can't get near a computer til after work. I just took my low rise off my ss tc and a regular off an 06 wrx STI. Where can I get some plugs to fill the holes so when it rains I don't a trunk full of water? I'll color match em eventually. Think an Avanced Auto or Salvo would have something? Don't want a new trunk. Thanks for the help I appreciate it.

STI can wait since the cobalt is daily.

i think home depot has a bunch of those plugs and different colors as well

 

Got mine at autozone for like 3 bucks

 

What's with all these people plugging the holes with cheap stuff? That would look like **** imo.

 

Thats what I was thinking, I've seen SRT-4's and the Odd SS around here with plugs in the trunk and it looks cheap

 

Well wat else can you plug em up with? Ima be doin this soon, I was gonna jus use some vinyl or somethin but how can I keep the water out?

 

The vinyl will keep the water out, its sticky like tape. Thats what Godly used I think.

 

Have a body shop fill the holes, sand it down and repaint the trunk.

 

....why repaint the trunk....? I got some quiksteel stuff I could use an jus do it like that I guess... do you think the color would be real off tho?

Like if I...

1.Took wing off

2.Filled holes with JBWeld/Quicksteel/whatever....

3.Sanded the top part of whatever putty I used after It dried

4.sprayed the general area with GM Black paint

5.clear coat/wax

?

you sure? I dont wanna be drivin thru the rain an have all my groceries get wet





































cuz if they do...















I'm comin for you..

 

Well, I mean, it's up to you.

You have a black car, so it would be less noticeable, but for any other color, it would probably not come out looking good.

 

Car s SRT coat. Not getting a new trunk, took wing off for something different. It'll be swapped back and forth. If I cared what people thought of the looks, I'd take out the Shelby. Thanks or tips I'll check out auozone.

 

Can you post what kind of plugs you use after you pick some up??? I work at Autozone so I can check em out while i'm there..

 

shelby??? i wonna see pics of all ur cars!!!!lol

 

Lol, yeah, pretty sure. Some people put duct tape on the inside of the trunk just to be safe. Just don't let anyone poke holes in your vinyl!

 

Electrical tape works wonders.

 

Go out and buy vinyl as it was suggested above. MY car is black and last summer I took mine off to see how I liked it and just put vinyl over it. No water got in at all and that was through the big ass hurricane we got so trust me, your **** will stay dry inside and you wont have big ass plugs screaming LOOK WHAT I DID!!

 

Won't you see the little vinyl pieces over the holes? Seems a little tacky

 

Its a lot smoother than big ass rubber plugs sticking out. Trust me, it's less visable than you think.

 

so wat'd you do? Jus get a couple lil circle stickers or wat?

 

If I were to take off my wing I'd definitely have it professionally filled.

 

Ima have you professionally filled....

 

plugs dont do it for me the vinyl idea sounds interesting

 

I went and bought a square piece from a vinyl shop down the road, cut out enought to cover the holes and scratches from the base of the wing and stuck it on. I wasn't worried about how it looked because who really looks at the trunk that close.

 

can u take a couple pics of close up and then further away?

 

ya im in for pics
