This might be a stupid question, but I'm stumped and need help. I have an 89 coupe with that ugly-*** black foam spoiler on the trunk, and I'm in the process of removing it. My question is, after I remove the bolts from the inside of the trunk lid, and pull the spoiler off, how would I go about covering up the holes left by the spoiler?

you've got a couple options... 1 you could bondo and repaint it... ehhh 2 you can get an arc welder and make some puddles in there with the weld and then sand it down (then repaint) 3 you can just buy a spoilerless hatch from a junkyard for like $150 or 4 you can be ghetto and just cover it up with duct tape....

I would go with #1. Seems like the cheapest solution before it becomes ghetto. Or..you can put some cool sidemarkers in them with strobe lights :P

I welded mine and it looks really good. The bondo idea would be the easiest though.
