Wingless guys.....

What did you plug your holes with? I took my spoiler off, but the holes are bugging me. I want to cover them with something, but not look too stupid. Any ideas?

pop some rubber plugs in those holes. whatever you try to cover the holes with its going to look like crap. why not try to swap for a wingless or shave the holes and paint it?

I would try to trade someone, but the clearcoat on my spoiler is peeling bad.

it doesnt matter if water gets in it. the holes run right down in the rain channel. i'm pretty sure all the water that comes off your rear window goes straight in there anyway

Looks like I'm just gonna try to use some kind of plugs. Mine is black so I am sure I can find black plastic ones.

Because once I start putting CF on my car I never quit, and it gets really expensive. I will start with getting the trunk and end up with hood, fenders, roof, everything.....

Can I just take it there and get a new one? Or do I have to go through a lot of BS?

OK, any of you wingless guys... are you interested in selling me your wing? I am looking for an Evo 8 wing.

I will consider a 8 wing with clear coat damage... but would rather a nice wing.

no EVO 9 wings.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


OK, I have gotten a number of E-mails from people saying "selling my Evo IX wing, make an offer"

For those that cannot translate Roman Numerals.

"VIII" is what I am looking for
"IX" I do not want.

Go to any decal place, get them to cut you color matched vinyl circles and put them over the holes, its the closest thing perfect you can do without doing something permanent.
