those black plugs are sweet... If only REXSPEED would step up and make a set [one for the big hole as well].

Up close it looks like ***?

I for one, have no idea what some one would be doing that close to my car to begin with....

I'm pretty contempt w/ my car, I really don't mind what others think.

Now all of a sudden putting small vinyl that you can't see unless your on top of my car is rice ? LMAO.

i agree its all about personal opinion. I never said it looked ricey. Just bad imho.

I bought a lancer trunk with no holes off another member in socal. Payed i think about 180, already painted black. It has some minor defects, but it looks clean. To put the wing back on i simply unscrew 2 bolts, and swap trunks.

If plugs were available, i would have gotten those instead of the second trunk lid.

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.

that all looks like ***. get a new trunk, or get the holes shaved at a body shop. or just put the wing back on because it looks like *** without it

Save it for another thread where you can chew on each other all day if you like.
