A welder and a new paintjob. Otherwise leave it alone.

when I sold the Salen wing off my 83, it had numbers on the wing imprinted into the paint on the trunk

surely you can find something to stick in it...i don't think anyone makes a spoiler delete kit

yes they do make plugs for the holes but im not sure where you get them.but id just either get a new wing or fix the problem of them coming loose.im assuming your cars a hatch back and they look horrible without wings.

If you do manage to make/find a plug for the holes... you still will have to seal it to make it water tight. It'll look like a real hack job...

The right way to do it is to weld the holes shut. Or as stated find a spoiler where the threads arent stripped out.

If you do go for a new/different spoiler. Plan on getting the same one as you have now. Different style wings (GT, LX) have different bolt patterns.

i dnt mind the looks of it off, the roads around here are bumpy as ****. theres no type of rubber plug i can jus stick in the holes.
is there soposed to be a washer or somethingbetween the spoiler and the car , it doesnt seem to sit right i think thats why its comen loose all the time. but if i cant plug it what can i use to water doesnt get through or it and keep things tight
