plastic dye?
is there such a thing as a dye for plastic? The only plugs I could find that fit the bolt holes where my wing used to be are white, while the other plugs are black. I have tried painting the white plugs black, but the paint always starts to come off around the edges, I guess just from driving and the air currents and whatever it's carrying going over the car and taking the paint off the edges of the plugs. I'd like some kind of dye that would change the color of the plastic itself. Anyone seen anything like this?

Re: plastic dye? (Buckshot)
well that would be good, assuming it soaks into the plastic and actually changes the color of the plastic, instead of sitting on top of the plastic like paint. Sure is expensive though. 
I will probably try some adhesion promotor and then paint and see if that helps any.

Hey Patrick...
I tried removing my wing, and I got it off, and plugged the holes. Anyway, there were marks where the wing used to be. It looked nasty, so I put the wing back on. Did you have the same marks, or was it totally spotless underneath where you mount the wing?
