You can get a hatch from a RS which i think is wingless which solves the third brake light. if you dont mind not having the third brakelight (not recommended) then the plugs (4) off of a EG Civic where a upper strut brace would bolt (if they came with one).

this is the part #: 91601-SR3-000

For the brake light, you could give something like this a try: http://www.jcwhitney.com/autop...10101

As for the holes left from the wing, I simply found some plugs that fit (you can find them at auto parts stores, body shops, or possibly even Home Depot) and had them painted to match my car.

Mine were nylon/plastic, and after having them painted, I just used some clear silicone adhesive to fix them in place (easily removable and won't damage the paint). They looked somewhat similar to this, though I trimmed off some of the bottom section to make it shorter:




As for the brake light, whichever route you choose, please be sure to install one. It's an important safety feature, and is also required by law.

Good to hear.

Some people might prefer to paint them themselves, but I just took mine to a local body shop and gave them the paint code for my car. I believe I was quoted ~ $25 for the work (mainly because they had to mix a minimum quantity of paint).
