I've grown to like the look of our cars without the rear spoiler. The Shelby's don't have it and I think they look great! Has anyone removed the rear spoiler from their GT? If so, how did you cover the holes left in the trunk lid? Has there been any issues after taking it off?
TIA....Pics appreciated.

I saw these little plastic or rubber inserts for sale a while back, I think they called them bumper plugs, but they said they used those for the holes and the key hole in the door handle too...better than the holes you are left with after taking the spoiler off
Yeah.....i don't want any bolt heads sticking up. That would be way more noticeable than some simple plugs.
Trading trunk lids could be an option.
Ideally I would get the holes filled and have the lid repainted. I just can't afford to do that right now. So if I take it off it'll be painted plugs for a while.
try bumperplugs.com that should be good for the spoiler holes but idk if they are big enough for the holes for your spoiler, if the bumper plugs arent big enough id try the key hole plugs, and pre painted to match
mines getting filled and painted as we speak.
i used some push plugs and washers on the inside, its ok but i wanted to get rid of the antenna too, plus a dent on the door, plus the hood (rock chips and 2 scratches)
ill take a pic when i pick it up

I got a 2 pack of black plugs at lowes, 98 cents i think it was. The only problem i had was the plugs didnt go in the hole so i cut off the bottoms and just had the "hat" part of the plug and used gasket sealer form the bottom. 3 months and no problems.
silverscmustang - Thanks for the tip on where to look. I'll go check them out.
07musclemustang - Cool! Do post some pics when you pick it up.
eslhockey92g - That looks pretty good. If I go that route I'll have to paint mine to match the car. What size would you say the holes were? BTW....love the GT500 spoiler! I want one of those too.
Really?? This sucks....I was also thinking about removing my spoiler....
So there are really only 3 options?
-Get holes filled and painted at shop($$$)
-Put some plugs in them(imo, too noticeable)....defiantly not going to be nuts and bolts in them lol.
-Buying another trunk lid($$$)
IMO, I just thought that there would be some better/cheaper alternatives to fixing the holes by now...
