Need solution for Wingless/Low profile wing

I am currently with a wing right now. I've seen a lot of guys go wingless, leaving the holes exposed. At this point I am hesitant to throw down real money for a quality carbon fiber trunk without holes for the wing. So in this case I have a few questions!

First of all, I have heard that the Lancer 03-04 trunk is basically a direct bolt on in place of the Evo trunk. Does this also apply to the wing without the trunk? Also if I were to go with a full carbon fiber trunk, which one would you guys recommend to me?

Also another option is just getting an aftermarket wing, which ones are a lower profile that bolt directly on?

I found this, not really the style I'm going for though. For you guys that have this, how do you like it? Does the carbon fiber hold up well and not yellow after a few months? I've heard some horror stories about seibon!

I ran the painted version. It was great, but the vibration ****ed up my paint so if you decide to run that piece I recommend putting a thin layer of felt along the bottom of the fiberglass.

Also, to answer your question OP the Lancer trunk is a direct swap and you can find them without holes... but good luck finding one that is paint matched.

I just used little pieces of clear vinyl to cover up the 4 holes

I went with the Type 1 FRP Trunk Spoiler and have been happy with it. My body guy attached it with a few screws along with the 3m tape to make sure it does not come off or vibrate.

I feel like that ruins the evo. I'd either say keep the wing or get do-luck trunk!
