I just took the spoiler off my 98, i like the look better but... those holes are definitely going to let water in :[ what do you guys do about plugging those up?

now that you took the stock wings out.. what should you do about the holes? silly! you should buy an APC wing from Pepboys and put it on it! and cover the holes!

Haha sarcasm is wonderful. The best I could say would be bond-o...but...um...no. That would require repainting (unless you LIKE having spots of gray on your car...)

My buddy owns a shop, so he sealed the holes for me, so right now it looks like there was never a spoiler on my S14.

My S13 had 2 or 3 owners before me. At one point there was a crappy wing on it but the guy who had it right before me took it off and just plugged the holes with bondo. I'm planning to repaint the whole car so I'll just sand it down real nice. Maybe you could get just your trunk repainted. It might work out ok as long as you get the color codes from the dealer and as long as the rest of the paint on your body hasn't faded noticably.

yeah... you can go to a body/paint shop and they should be able to cover the holes up with sheet metal, and use some touch up paint.... it will look flush and nice... i did that to my fastback... it only cost about 20-40 bucks if that even

Color match some vinyl stickers to your car and patch 'em up.

very nice, i'm going to do what s14 had done, just take it to a bodyshop and have them do it, probably to the tune of about a hundred bucks...
