Yes I know I spelled the title wrong.

My 02 GGP SD came with a factory spoiler and now that I want to remove it I noticed there are 5 holes that need to be covered. I have called several body shops and they have told me around $300 to cover them up. Do i need to buy a wingless trunk or is there any other options? I am sure someone else has gone through this already. Please let me know!


Maybe some plugs? but I am a perfectionist when it comes to my car so to me the plugs will be sticking out too much. I think they would be too noticeable.

I also have the same problem in the front. The previous owner left the front license plate on forever and underneath the paint has gotten all bad. The front has two small holes the size of a screw.

 

Body shop will weld those holes shut, sand it, prep it, and spray the whole trunk. Plugs will make it look tacky.

 

So your a Perfectionist but Cheap? How about some bubble gum

 

Another problem a little duct-tape can't fix, hope your car is silver =p

 

I know what the body shop will do I am just trying to find another option?

 

I dont see how not wanting to pay $300 for someone to cover up 5 quarter sized holes makes me cheap but ok. SMH

 

Just get it repainted. There was a thread with a guy that had some plugs in his and it looked clean overall, but still i'd just repaint it..

 

Repaint the trunk? Thats not going to cover up the holes? Im gonna have to repaint the trunk only if I decide to get them shut by a body shop. And if I were to get plugs I would just custom order them the color of my car so I wouldnt have to repaint the whole trunk just to paint 5 plugs.

 

There is no other option other than get a new trunk, body shop, or get another spoiler to cover it up.

 

If you want a quick and temporary fix.. you could also buy regular plastic bumper plugs which are available at auto parts stores.



Find the right size for the holes on the trunk, get some color matched paint pen, paint the plugs and voila. Temporary and easy fix.

 

1. swap trunks with someone without a wing (Good luck with that)
2. fork out the money to get it welded close, prepped, and painted
3. Buy another trunk

 

Repainting includes shutting the holes.

From you name it sounds like you're into the whole VIP thing right? Or at least coilovers, new wheels, etc.. If you're willing to pull out money for coils, wheels, tires and all the accessories like most people do i'm sure you can break $300 off to get your trunk looking correct.

 

There is your answer. Either buy a spoilerless trunk with the same color, spoilerless trunk and paint it. Or just get it filled.

IMO just look for a spoilerless trunk

 

black taped mine for a lil bit..then had the body shop weld it up and worked on.

 

Just do it right man. $300 is not bad to have the holes filled prepped and the trunk painted. That what I'll be doing to mine.
