Default OEM spoiler delete?

Yeah I kinda like the look of my 95 Civic EX without the OEM spoiler, but since it has the third brake light in it it has a hole on the left side of the trunk for the wires. What do I do? Should I try to rivet in some sheet metal, or maybe one of you fellows would like to trade trunk lids in Illinois? I my car is white. I don't know.... I REALLY would like to remove it, but I don't want rain or snow getting in my trunk, and I DON'T want a hole in my trunk!

The completely correct way to do it would be to replace your trunk lid with a bare lid, and replace the rear plastic with one from a 92-95 with a third brake light. Simply clip any retaining clips holding the brake light in place, and reroute them to the new third brake light. The optional, but still functional way to do it would be to bondo the holes where the OEM spoiler used to be, repaint the trunk, and do the same thing as above in regards to your third brake light.

Yeah, but this car already has the third brake light, in the back window inside the car. So I wouldn't need to do that wiring crap. Do you know where I could find a trunk lid? Or how much they would cost?

Check local junkyards. Prices vary, but they're $30 around me. Otherwise, car-part.com is your friend.
