How to cover holes from spolier removal?
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.

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.

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.

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.
