want to take the wing off?

so i want to take off my wing, but there will obviously be holes in my trunk. i want to be able to put it back on whenever. so my question is is there any products to cover the holes that don't stick out and are relatively cheap? also i don't want whatever covers the holes to stick out to much. thanks

alot of people including myself use the little black grommets that you can get from autozone or advance auto parts in the help me section of stuff. they seal up pretty good, and if u dont mind a couple black dots on ur trunk, then they are great.

here's a pic of what they look like...

And speaking of wingless...


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.

lol ouch, i'm sorry i was busy at work. plus the search on this forum pretty much sucks. i search tanabe and i'll tell you one thing i get alot of threads popping up, though nothing says anything about tanabe. every search i've done so far has been useless. but i usually do search for awhile before posting something
