    so today i decided to take the wing off my trunk to prepare to mount my new lip spoiler before the midwest meet on oct. 2nd. i knew there were going to be holes under the wing, but i didnt really care figuring that id find a decent way to plug them. this way i can pull the plugs and put the wing back on if i ever decide to like it more than my lip spoiler (unlikely).

    here are pictures of the holes in the trunk:







    anyone have any good ideas on how to plug these up? i was thinking just a basic christmas tree plug, but i would paint them to match fairly well so it doesnt look completely retarded. what about some rubber plugs or something that'd just slip in there? anyone have anything off the top of their head that'd trump what im thinking?


    here are the pictures of the lip spoiler thats going on it, yes im just holding it on, and yes its staying black:

    The spikes can be orange.






    Really, though, you could... fiberglass the underside, fill in the divot, and paint.

    cause those are winter wheels and they will have tires on them before oct. 2nd if i am...smart? also the tires on those are ****ed. id have a blowout like two minutes down the road if i ran them.

    the solution i go with must be easily reversible.
