wing hole plugs?

just wondering if they had plugs to fill the holes if i take off my wing. I want to go wingless for a little while but not permanently; so i don't want to fill them.

If they don't make plugs specifically for that, what will work, or what have some of you guys done to plug them?

And speaking of...


Here are some close ups of how you might fill in the holes left in the trunk lid. I used some black plastic body panel fasteners. I had to cut them shorter and they are held in by a little bit of clear silicone under the "head".









I think the Apex Silver EVOs have a very unique "industrial" look that I really like. The black "rivets" kind of fit with the "industrial" look, IMNSHO.

where would you fined that color in electrial tape? i have only seen red,black,green,blue,yellow. never have seen silver though. unless you are talking about duct tape. but only rednecks would use something like that on their evo's if they even own one.

Pepboys or autozone in the help section, just know what size the holes are.

you can have a shop fill the holes and shoot the deck-lid for around 250$

I know this thread is old but anyone know what size holes are left when you remove the wing? If I were to use plugs, what size would I need?
