Default Trunk hole?

Alright, so I bought my first integra which is a 98 ls.. It has the small wing on it, and I want to go wingless.. I searched and checked the FAQ thread, and still could not find my answer.. So anyways, I know how to remove the wing, but I want to know where I can get the rubber plugs to close up the hole.. I seen the rubber plugs on other integras before and I would rather have that then electrical tape.. Is there any other option for me to close that trunk hole.. And I dont want to take the trunk to a body shop, because I might add a wing later on when I do autox and what not. Please help! Thanks!

The plugs are going to be your best bet if you plan on adding a wing later on.

But I don't know where I can get the rubber plugs from!! Do you know where? Because I prefer plugs over electrical tape, because my last experience with holes in the trunk, I used electrical tape, and left alot of sticky residue on my cars paint..

Any hardware store should have them, what color is your car? They probbaly don't have lots of choices in color but they would defiantly work. Might try auto zone? too I would think they would have something like that.

Who said bondo in the first place? That already shows you posses no knowledge of the trade. And obviously i meant going through with the process of sanding it and painting like the hole was never there. Your an idiot.

I already stated at the top that I dont want to do any body work or adding paint and what not.. Because I am going to add another wing later on when I do autox..

But anyways, when I take the wing off, what do I do with the wires? Do I just cut them or what?

You said body filler, bondo is body filler, you dont fill holes with body filer. And hes said he didn't want to go through that process anyway, he wanted something temporary that would look good and seal tight.

As for the wires I cant help you with that one, hopefully someone els will chime in on that one. When we tried to take the wing off my buddy 96 we actually got stopped by that as we weren't sure what do do with them and didn't want to cut them.

Sorry to bust your ***** but Bondo is a brand that makes body filler. Body filler is a product. Evercoat makes them too & others. Filler comes in different mixtures. Fiberglass reinfornced & lightweight & t/c % ETC. So you are wrong sir.

I understand he wants to temporary patch the hole(s) and have acess to it later. But imo its better to seal them and drill new holes and you can put a ruber peice in the third hole where your brake light wire runs out of. its just a suggestion. but if u feel like going through with the process is too long by all means get that rubber peiece. Ask a local bodyshop they often get people coming by selling all sorts of washers, plastic screws, and other accessories.

You can cut the wire and just electrical tape over it or take the fuse out if its seperate ;/

Lol, typical HT drama.

Freakin' don't use plugs! your trunk will rust for sure.
Get it filled with properly welded in pieces of metal, sand it, prime it and get it painted.

But im using those holes to add a spoiler on everytime i do autox.. Because my plan was to go wingless daily driver, and then when i do autox, i can slap a wing on..

you should get plugs and get duplicolor paint in a spray can to match the plugs to the same color as your car

Now that yes would be the right way to fill holes, however he needs something temporary, please read the thread before you post.

okay I think I found a conclusion! I noticed on my engine bay that I have rubber plugs where normally the strut bar would go.. So I removed them, and went to try them on my trunk, and it fits perfect for the hole! Now im going to paint it and show you guys the aftermath.

Rub some RTV Silicone in each hole and ,also, put some in the groove of each plug, before you push the plugs in.
After they are in, open the hatch and make sure that they when completely through.
Clean up the excess RTV.

Find a 3rd brake light and take the 10 inch cable extension (for the light in the spoiler) off. Plug the shortened cable into the 3rd brake light.

I was gonna say to check your bay and use the stock rubber plugs if they were there, they work good!!

What about the large hole for the wiring harness?

There are six holes for the OEM wing. Four are for the bolts, one is for the wiring harness, and the last is for a plastic bolt.
