There is two-sided tape holding it on.

Fishing wire. Double it up and run it back and forth under the spoiler.

Best way to go is obviously the body shop,But if you want to cover the holes without spending $$,The best way imo is color matched vinyl overlays...They are very hard to notice and look way better then plugs and are super cheap -

I had all the holes welded closed, grinded down, and the trunk repainted. It cost me 200 and that was because it was a GG trunk going on an AS car. So prob less than 100$ to just have the holes welded closed and painted. Definitely the best option IMO and the cleanest looking.

Seems like a good idea to just cover the holes temporarily with tape. I'd hate to spend the money to weld and paint and then decide I'd like to put the wing back on.

I had thought the same thing but the last two tanks of gas I've got an extra 4-5mpg and no one has tried to race me or rev their engine to be cool or anything else of that nature. So it's definitely not going back on.
