I'm going to remove my spoiler and I'm planning on going the route of plugging the holes with black rubber plugs, and using some silicone to seal them. I'm curious as to what size guys are using the plug the holes?

TIA

 

i've got rubber plugs from auto parts store they fit just fine but if you wanne cover all that plus have a new look get a rexspeed cf spoiler thats what i did(rexspeed has 2 kinds of spoilers get the one that goes on the sides of your trunk)

 

do it right, and take it to a body shop youll be much happier with the results.

 

if you have a clean car with original paint, i would disagree.

 

well ill tell you what. you can come look at my car and then compare it to some hackjob with rubber plugs fillling the holes and tell me what looks better.

id rather have a damn near perfect paint match than a perfect paint match with rubber plugs all over it. besides its not likke mistu paint is all that great anyway. my jdm rear is a closer paint match than my stock evo8 bumper was

 

You can ONLY see it if you are right in front of it.

 

Wow, ur evo looks really clean. Where did you get the plugs that match the paint so well?

 

dont get me wrong that looks good. but the plugs would bother me. OCD is a lifestlye after all ( i kid, everyone things im ocd)

 

Thank you, I got em from a local sticker/vinyl shop. They will just run out with a couple samples and find the best match.


And jjm4life, I simply have issues.

 

CF Trunk ftw!

 

i used the same vinyl when i went wingless i think i want to do it again but havent decided on a color match vortex gen or black

 

As revvin did, just go to a sign shopa nd ask for a few samples of vinyl that are the similar to the color of your car

 

Buy an RS trunk.

 

Well I ran out and bought some rubber plugs. The spoiler came off fairly easily, and thankfully there wasn't any rust under it. The plugs had a fairly snug fit, and I used some clear silicone caulking to seal the plugs. I don't plan on making this a permanent fix to the holes, just something to keep them plugged in the meantime.

Personally though, I don't mind seeing the rubber plugs in place of the spoiler holes. I have a BBY, so there's already dark trim on it, I guess it doesn't stick out that much to me. The biggest thing that I notice is the sticky residue from the double-sided tape Mitsu used. I think I'll have to use some bug & tar remover to get it off.

 

I sure hope you wouldnt have rust under there!
