Default wingless sn95

Im wanting to take my wing off my 96 gt because I think it looks a lot cleaner without one especially on a sn95. My question is what could I get to fill the holes temporaly to see if Im goona like it for sure without the wing. I really dont wanna put bolts in the holes because it will look like crap, maybe some type of ruber plug thing. just something to keep the water out if it rains.

I wanna drive it around for awhile before I spend the money at a body shop to fill the hole. any suggestions

I went on ebay and got some really cool bolt-on spikes to fill the holes. They are black and just cover the holes and 4 for $10. I like spikes and sinister crap like that so it fits me and people in my mustang club think they are the coolest thing they have ever seen lol..

This is something I consider at least once a month.

I took it off and man it looks so much better. makes the rear end look stubby and fat like the late 60's early 70's muscle cars. I took the duck tape idea, I put gorilla tape on the inside of the trunk but still have the holes. I wish I knew how much it would cost the get the holes filled and repainted compared to finding a trunk the same color but from a v6 stang without a stock wing.

I will try to take some pics of it tomorrow. I think once i lower it and put some fatter tires on the back it will look even better without the wing.

I had my car wingless for awhile before paint and I personally didn't like it, but you you want a temp fix for the plug use some sort of tape but apply it from the udnerside of the car, and just dab the small amount u can see looking through the holes with touchup paint to match the car.

For the last 6 years I've had a piece of black electrical tape over each hole... You'd be surprised how few people notice it.

AMEN BROTHER!

My rear tires are only 245, but with 3/4 inch spacers. So if you look real quick, it seems like I have fat rears. They are almost flush with the fender-wells.

Post up some pics.
