Question Wingless: How to cover the holes?

Hi,

I'm planning to go wingless as soon as I get my car from the workshop "Brembo was very weak after car wash, guess what happened ".
So how do you guys cover the holes?
I'm thinking to try black silicon

I'll check with Ace Hardware if they have any plugs, vinyl and silicon will be my last option

Might look into an aftermarket trunk too. I know they are spendy, but atleast then you can get some extra "bling" factor with it.

i wish, i have to pay the insurance company $550..
evo parts r very expensive , hood+front bumper+left headlight = $6250
I can get an aftermarket FULL body kit + paint + international shipping for almost the same price, maybe less!!!

the funny part is, my STS was hit while parked!! lool bad luck

i'll give them a call tomorrow, they may have plugs or something. filling the holes + painting is costly

Damn that sucks! They have some states here in the US that have the same law. My buddy got screwed when some old tard in a truck slammed to a complete stop on the freeway. My buddy was in a minivan with brakes that werent good enough to stop him in time and even though there was no reason for the old dude to stop, it was still my buddies fault.

The body is weak for a couple reasons. Weight is the main one, but also in a wreck the body absorbs the force by crumpling and so it doesnt pass on the damage to your body and your passengers body. Mitsu had a serious hardon for safety ratings with the X (as seen in the "knee airbag").
