get plugs at home depot.

If you are looking to fill/paint then I would recommend posting in the paint and body forum

do it right the first time and get them welded shut, and filled.

not only will it look cleaner, but it will last a lot longer than "temporary" solutions like electrical tape and plugs...

It's ghetto but bumper stickers work excellent. I took my spoiler off and just bought a mostly red bumper sticker that matched my red paint. Then I just cut out round pieces of the bumper sticker that were a little bigger than the holes in my hatch and put the stickers over the holes.

Like I said, sounds ghetto but from more than a few feet away from the car you can't see them at all and since they are bumper stickers it lasts for a long time with no problems. I've had mine on for like 4 years and the stickers are perfect still.

I know you dont want to use electric tape, but they do make different colors. you should just get the holes filled in......

Do they have to be JDM bumper stickers??? I bet that would help tho right????

Fill and paint FTW!!!!!!!!!!! Tape and crap is ok for a week to see if you like the look. But fill and paint if you are going to rock no wing for more than a month. Do it right or don't do it

they have plastc plugs at auto stores, they look like the carpet plugs with all the directional teeth...i believe the plugs i bought were for chrysler cars, just because the diameter of them were bigger.

mine have been on for years

i bought some of those too. luckily my car is black.
there is a lot of rust in the spoiler area from the idiot at the honda factory misaligning the rubber to metal pad part.. i have to either replace my trunk lid or do some serious bondo cuz it's not water tight at all -_-.. hopefully this is not the case with yours.
