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!

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..

Im sorry to bust your *****, but at the top of the qoute, you said "Just put in some bodyfiller then drill new holes after". Bodyfiller is bondo man..
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.

lols man, I just said the same thing.. Shows who has more knowledge now..
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..

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.
