Going Wingless

Thinking about going wingless, any tips on what to do with the stock mounting holes?

There are body colored stickers that I see some people use, if you never want the wing again you can bondo over the holes and paint. Good luck.

If you go to home depot they have plastic plugs in the fasteners section of all sizes. I used them to fill my from bumper holes. I just painted the tops and they match perfectly.

I used vinyl before it looks pretty good , all of this talk of going wingless I might do it again , why not right, lol ....Just hit up your local vinyl shop and get a few feet of raw vinyl as close to your color as they have... It's cheap ...

anyone know if the type c spoiler from rexpeed will work on the RA? i know if you have previously drilled extra holes for an evo spoiler itll mount up but i heard it doesnt quite conform to the body correctly?

is it really that stiff of a piece? seems like it would be fairly flexible...

Bondo over holes, just find a buddy with a mig welder and get him a six pack, then all will be good. vinyl over the holes will just eventually sag and leave a "dimple" and im not sure but wouldn't the plugs allow water in? unless they are like super tight fitting.

Go to a vinyl shop, pick up a adhesive vinyl that matches the color of your car. I did this with my car, it looks as if a spoiler was never there.
