Default Removing OEM spoiler from my 02 RSX-S

I'm thinking about taking off my spoiler and shaving my wiper for a clean look. In a few weeks I'll look into installing a JDM spoiler but I don't want water in hatch while I'm "between spoilers". ANy suggestions?

PS - I don't know anyone to swap hatches with and I'd like to keep using my current hatch since the color is an exact match with the rest of the car. Plus, installing a JDM spoilker later on while be super easy with the holes already in there.

A few weeks at least. Probably the end of August or early in September.

They make a little plastic cap that you can pop in the hole. If you are paranoid about rain(I would be) just get a small tube of clear silicone and but a tiny bead all the way around the cap and it should be fine until then. Try autozone or advance for the caps.

Now that I've taken off the spoiler I see that any rain that goes into those holes will just drain through the trunk anyway.

Still looking to trade for a JDM spoiler though.
