I am going to go wingless this weekend...may even be as early as this evening. I am wondering how large are the 4 holes that the spoiler leaves so i know how big the plastic tabs need to be when get them/paint them?? ne help would be nice.

....... YOU BASTARD ! Bro you are a total dissapointment ... first you leave Motor city now you are taking the wing off your cobalt ! That's like removing your dogs SAC !

 

there are 8 holes..... 2 up front and 2 in back... 1 on each side of the back ones....... the "Plastic tabs" you are having painted im guessing are plugs...you cant use plugs because out of the 8 holes... only 3 are perfect circles..... cover then with paint matched vinyal.... this way u only need 4 p[ieces to cover the 8 holes.... up front the 2 holes only need to be cut about the size of a dime.... for the back its about as tall as a quarter, but 2X as wide.... hope that helps

 

Yeah that help a lot..i have 3 large sheets of vinyl left over from when i did my eye lids...ill use that instead of plugs. Thank you

 

LOL im just tired of not being able to look out my back window..besides i need another dvd rack and the wing will sufice. And i did have to remove my dogs sac cuz he kept humping everything lol!!!

 

good grief... please don't go ricer and plug the holes with plastic or vinyl... get a good shop to weld in some plugs and paint it... or trunk swap someone.

 

hhmm...never thought of doing a trunk swap. But if i cant the "ricer vinyl" will have to do till i find a shop to plug it for me.

 

a temporary fix until you can get something better done is fine... heck... I had duct tape over the holes in the trunk of my 2.4 until the SS/SC wing came in. But I think once you see the holes that the wing goes in... you'll understand that it needs some serious work to fix it right.

 

Waylin22,

Call the local junk yard and see if you can get your hands on a trunk, might even try a cavi trunk but I am not 100% on that.

 

Cavi trunk won't fit... but trying the junk yards isn't a bad idea.

 

Thanks, ill hit them up

 

ya my vynal is a fix until i get it patched because my keyhole and door handles will be shaved.... waiting to buy the RK 3 pc wing b4 shaving the trunk

 

that will look hot bio..shaved door handles

 

I hope you were trying to be funny..... lol .... if not then your a loser. open your trunk. you will find four nuts - two on each side of the wing. if you want to see how big the holes are just take off one nut or all four because some are slotted and one is not for easy fitment. I know cause I did mine. I had a shop fill in the holes and paint. I would never go back to having a wing.

 

I was thinking the same thing. I've already done a "pre" prep job on removing my spoiler, because as you know it is something I'm concidering.... I only saw 4 holes.

 

ok look on the sides of those back 2 holes.... you see the grey sticky gasket comming through the HOLES? my spoiler is off so im pretty sure i remember how many holes there are

 

i have a base.... i think the spoilers are mounted the same way and if they are (cvould be wrong) you my friend are thick lmao there is deffinatly 8 holes.... im guessing you took the wing off yourself and had the shop remove the sticky gasket and patch the trunk thats y u didnt see the other 4 holes...the gasget covered them... i did it all myself so i know exactly what it looks like.... i could be wrong about the same patterns on the base and SS wing but many ppl swap them so im pretty confident its like this.....if iom wrong i apologize but i will bet my car on the fact that base cobalts have 8 holes if they have the same wing as me for 05




(( O ))

besides looking like a giant boob thats what the rear holes look like on a base spoiler mounted trunk... trust me, mine is off...... there is a circle for the bolt. and then a kidney shapped semicircle on each side of the bolt that the gasket is pushed through a bit

 

Seriously just use vinyl.

Plastic caps stick out like sore thumbs

 

yeah ive got plenty of blue vinyl left so im going to use that. It will be off on sunday so ill post pics

 

Im sportin the vinyl and waiting to do the paint work this winter .

Including the 4 slots for the lower holes , YES there are 8 separate HOLES .

 

OMG! so many people taking off their SS/SC wing... anyone of the Laser Blue and willing to sell? or any colour?

 

If it help there are supused to be 2 trunk lids here in Az. Not sure what color, but one is w/ and the other is w/o the spoiler. Here is the place that is supposed to have them.

I want to see yours. I have been thinking of doing the same.

 

just get a carbon fiber trunk...screw patching the holes...

 

Well I AM THE BIG BOOB. It was so long ago I forgot the half moon shapes around the hole. I was thinking about how many studs were on the wing.
