here's an updated pic. I havent painted or wrapped the spoilers yet ( i want to CF wrap them) but i took my OEM wing off and mounted this one with double-sided tape. The only one that kinda gave me problems was the roof spoiler. other than than unless someone rips it off they seem to be holding up pretty nicely. I would still advise some body molding or even epoxy to secure these spoilers. and for the people who have OEM wings and thinking bout taking em off its not that bad under there. lol. I covered my holes with electrical tape for now until i get my whole car repainted. but anyone who ever sanded anything could easily fill these holes and use touch up paint to cover the spots.

^ I'm sure that your electrical tape method works only for darker colored cars. Haha.

The best DIY method to fill the holes are to fill in JB weld onto the surface, let it dry and sand...Much better than using bondo

LOL. Yea cuz it easily blends in but they do make different color electrical tape. too bad they dont match paint codes.

Oh BTW depending on how frequent you use your trunk the screws from the wing will probably have left some convex dimples on the trunk. i would say a rubber mallet should do the trick with that. I havent banged mine out yet it started pouring over here.

^ I don't understand how the dimples have anything to do with using your trunk. Do you mind explaining?

Oh. lol...cuz like i know I've watched people open my trunk before and they look like they are trying to yank the wing off when pulling it up and even go as far to push down on the wing to make sure the trunk is closed. It's almost like they completely disregard the trunk bar where the key hole is at.

I lift by the trunk bar and close by pulling down on the plastic handle. It's much easier. My spoiler is cracked in half anyways.... My system pounding away and a nice chunk of snow/ice fell onto it from a tree did it. *sigh*
