plugs FTW!

I used plugs for the obvious reason of cost and also so that i would have the option of putting the wing back on if i wanted to.

I like the wingless look but if you're goin to do it, do it right is my theory. Painted electrical tape is way too ghetto for my tastes.

you can use the plugs that honda used to fill the strut bar holes in the LS/RS/GS integras. but if your spoiler had a brake light in it, i think there will be two more holes. i'm not sure what size they are.

what exactly are you looking for? I mean, why are you bumping this? There are so many threads about this already and people have posted pictures. The plugs can be bought at home depot or your local hardware store for really cheap. Go into the store and say you need plastic plugs. Take the spoiler off and measure the diameter of the holes with a ruler. Your goingto have to paint them for it to match your car. It will look like little bumps on your rear hatch.

No pics, I just used some plastic interior plugs you buy at the auto parts store to fill the holes on my buddies em1. The type that is usually used to hold trunk panels on. He wanted to be able to put the wing back on the car in case he ever sold it so that was the only solution.
