Default Removing spoiler??????

Assuming this leaves holes in the trunk. What's the best way to fill them in without anything looking goofy? Thanks.

I took mine off and i like it. I got some plastic pins from the help section at Advance Auto. I think they are the kind that is for interior. Use a little clear rtv of some kind to keep it waterproof. You have to watch it though, under my spoiler the paint was f"d up, i ended up just getting my holes filled when at the body shop when a woman tried to buy the back half of my car.

Assuming you painted the pins to match. I've heard under the spoiler is a pain-in-the-**** double-sided tape. Would there be any problems putting the spoiler back on? Thx.

I don't think there would be if you just put some "pins" in it. No, i didn't paint mine to match. They were black, had small button heads, and really not that noticable. If you got the holes filled, that would be another story.

Here is an old pic from last year. They are kind of hard to see, but thats all i had. lol

I thought about removing it also, but I would do it right and take it to a shop to weld it and match paint..
