Default To "wingless" Rs ... how did you cover up the spoiler holes??

I'm deciding to remove my GSR wing. However, I don't want to repaint my hatch and fill in the holes. Just something temporary. Anyhow, what's a nice, easy, and cheap way to fill in the holes from the spoiler? Does Honda make any rubber plugs or anything?
Let me know.

EG Civic plugs that are under the hood in the holes where a front strut bar would go (if they came with one).

Remove paint and insert.

They could have fit better.. but for free and being a Honda part...

Yea, what Willard said
I don't have any plugs in there right now though, but its no worry, the water just drains down by your tail lights, and it doesn't get into your truck anyway.

Go to the fasteners section at autozone, napa, etc. you should be able to find some cheap rubber fastener plugs/inserts to use. i found mine at autozone...worked great

I have the spoiler plugs in stock. They are $1.75 each.

If I have enough interest, I may consider getting a bunch of them sprayed by a local body shop to match the ITR's colors(PY, CW, NBP, FBP)

Not sure as of pricing yet, but I can find out if you guys want!

Are the plugs you're using a factory Honda or Acura part #? If so, what # are they? Thanks.

you can take the plug from a cx eg that is located where the rear window wiper would be and take off your itr rear window wiper and replace.

just another little trick... looks pretty clean in the back without it.

I jussst did my wing or is it De-Wing? this evening, I'm going to the autopartstore tomorrow and getting some rubber grommets. Then to the Dealership and picking up some touch up paint and seeing how that works.

BTW taking off the Red "A" badges is a Royal Pain in the A$$! It took less time to remove the wing and all the stickers than it took to just remove the Front Red A badge!

Good luck all, I'll be posting pics in the near future just for sh*ts and giggles...

FYI, the original Honda plug for the power antenna hole is black.
