Help Please...Thinking about Spoiler Delete
I've tried searching and can't find what I'm looking for. I have the stock GT spoiler and am thinking about taking it off. If I do so, what are my options for filling the holes? Is it something I can do on my own? If you've done it, please post pics. Thank you.

I heard a good way to go is to find someone who wants to spoiler and just swap trunk lids. Only prob is i've been trying for a few months and no one near DC wants to swap. I've heard you can just use plugs from pep-boys or autozone, heard they aren't too hard to find and just paint them.

yes
I did this with my '01 Cobra and used a metallic red spray paint which wasn't even a perfect paint match (laser red BTW). If you take your time an are careful it will turn out just fine. Cant really tell from a distance. I am **** and keep my car pretty clean so if I was happy with it most should be too. I used plastic plugs for an autoparts store and just used a latex caulk to make sure there were no leaks. Good luck...

Or you could buy a new trunk lid with no holes or find a used one from the junk yard. Have a shop spray that one. It should be cheaper than welding yours and you could still drive your car around while it's being painted.
