Show Me Your Holes!!!!!

Hi, to all anyone who goes wingless from time to time can you post pics or just let me know what exactly your using to cover the holes in the trunk. I did a quick search and didnt come up with any results. Thanks again for the help.

Jesse

I went wingless a few weeks ago here in Atlanta, I used some rubber washers with plastic screws and screw covers on four of the holes. By no means is it flush, but it certainly doesnt attract the attention the wing does. I will try and snap some pics and post for you in the next day or two. Also I have yet to find anything to use in covering the guide holes. (One on each side.) Love the stealth look though.

Hey thanks for the info. I would love to see pics if you got em. This is actually my 3rd Evo so I've gone wingless before. However, I was looking for something temporary but as no discript as possible.

hahha yea it's a tuffy. lol

there is some strong *** double sided tape on the bottom of the wing. I guess its so water cant get down there to the screws? but if you really want to do it cut it with a razor blade as you pull up on the wing.

Thats what I had to do. But to the tread I personally don't like wingless evos... takes away for the car it self. IMO don't do it.

I took a credit card and jammed it in the double sided tape, that way it won't damage the paint.

Ok, got some pics, didn't realize my car was this dirty. Trying to attach now, but being told, "too large". Will try and downsize and get posted soon. Nice wing 02BLUR, that's just what I am looking for.

that looks retarded. i'd almost rather see the ugly holes than that thing. if you want to know how to fill the holes left from the wing, i'll tell you. take it to a body shop. i think it looks like crap to roll around in a 30-40k car with holes in your trunk.

the RA wing looks fuggin HORRIBLE on our cars. I saw a red Evo 8 with that down in the Ft Walton Beach area in Florida. I wanted to rip it off in the middle of the street.

Do you have any better pics of your car? I'd love to see different angles of your car with that wing.
