Hey I wanted to remove my stock gsr spoiler , but dont want to spend the extra cash for body work to cover the holes. I remember seeing a post about "plugs" you can get from homdepot or other hardware stores, does anyone have more info and pics? I searched the topic but couldnt find the thread. Also a member said they bought the plugs fom honda to cover his Type R wing holes..? Anyways please post pics and detailed info on where you go the plugs. I have searched a sears hardware and homedepot so far. Thanks

 

hey i want to know too. far as i know tape is the only way, i don't think there a plug big enough for the larger hole

 

I think there are...I remember reading and seeing pics on a certain post but I cant seem to find it.

 

i got them from lowes

The part number is 91601-SR3-000, I found them on a Acura website but you can probably get them from Honda.

 

You can buy the new ones from Acura, or I just went down to the local parts store and bought a few misc. body plugs and clips, and some 3M emblem adhesive. Works great and is much cheaper I think that I only spent like $8 at the most.

 

Isn't there one big hole?

 

Yes there is one that just needs a bigger plug where the wires for the LED come in. It only took me 5 minutes to remove the spoiler. Its kinda a pain to dig through all the ones there at the parts store. The two smaller holes on each side drain into the taillight area anyway if there is any leaks.

 

Fastcaps and vinyl own you.

 

Alrite so I went to Autozone today and found two I could use for the small hole but dont know about the one big hole..What did you Gsr guys use? And is that honda plug able to coverall the holes including the small one?

 

Tape works, but it left adhesive on my trunk that I can't remove. If you are going to use something adhesive, I would suggest vinyl. I am also wondering what plugs are the best to use for the larger hole and the other small holes. I got some plugs from home depot, but they are too small.

 

I bought white vinyl tape from Pep boys and taped them over the holes. Works great.

 

Yeah duck tape is pure JDM yO......everybody rip their wings off NOW!!!!

 

You can pick up black plugs that fit well at ACE Hardware.

 

Here's how mine looks, using white vinyl tape from Pep boys.

 

This is my suggestion:

Go get a pre-mix bondo tube from any auto part stores(i saw them at autozone) some sand paper and some tape
-use sand paper sand underneath the holes
-then clean the above and under area around the hole
-use tape to tape on top, over the holes.
-then put bondo over the hole from underneath(the sanded surface will help bondo
to stick better) Remember to use enuff bondo so it wont fall off when dried
-wait til dry and take off tape.
-now you can see the hole is almost flushed by the bondo from underneath.
-just use some touch up paint to paint the bondo so it'll match the color of your car
-you can use a round piece of vinyl on top of the holes to prevent any rust

By followng these steps, you'll ensure there's no leak to your trunk + the holes look almost flushed.

You won't be able to access the larger harness and guide pin holes from underneath.

I have never seen the plugs at Ace stores, but every Lowe's I have been to has them. Plastic hole plugs in the specialty fasteners section. All I remember right now is that the largest harness hole takes a 7/8" plug.

Get the plugs in black (or white if the car is white), and don't bother trying to paint them. I tried many times using various prep methods to paint the plugs on my car and debris in the air flowing over the car would always make the paint start to come off at the edges of the plugs. They don't look so bad in black, it matches stuff on the car like the black window molding and roof drip gutter molding, and also the factory sideskirts and mudguards if you have those.

 

Ah nice thanks for the replys guys! Anyways the black gsr pic posted was that a gsr? And also the plugs from lowes could you get all the sizes needed for the gsr wing plugs? thanks!

 

Please exuse my stupid post .. Its 220am, anyways what I was trying to say is:

1. The black integra posted , is that a gsr?

2.What exact sizes are needed for the plugs?

Thanks again.

what size is for the smaller holes?

 

For sizes, just buy a few plugs in different sizes. They are like 10-15 cents. Then go out to the parking lot and see what fits. Then buy more of what size you need.

I found the plugs at ACE with all the other nuts and bolts. I guess some stores dont carry them.
