2002 Accord SE Spoiler removal
I've decided I want the spoiler off the car. there are 2 screws from the trunk lid into the spoiler.
What viable/reliable options are there for sealing the holes left by the screws?
I'm in Illinois so we get a fair amount of snow as well - if that makes a difference.
(There is a 3rd brake light under the rear window as well so I'm not worried about the legality of removing the spoiler with it's brake light).

If you can find some domed 'lug plugs' and then some touch up paint to match your cars color. Use a bit of seam sealer to make them leak free.
Hardware store may have something similar.

Pick N Pull around here has a nice unique way of opening the trunks, usually with a crow bar.

Not a terrible idea. Would a 2001 trunk lid work? I know they changed a bit of the styling on these Accords after 2000, not sure if the trunk is the same.

Yeah, here too. Last weekend I saw a very nice CL trunk that would have been perfect if they had not used a crow bar on it. Luckily most Accords are not opened that way. I bought a spare trunk in my body color to use just in case I got tired of the spoiler. So far that hasn't happened.
One way to tell if the trunk will fit is to do a swap at the pick and pull. Before you buy it. If it works, good. If it doesn't then someone else has less work to do when they want a trunk lid.
