I think there are plugs or were plugs. I remember seeing de-winged ITRs with plastic (?) plugs in the wing holes. Maybe somebody makes those? Honda? Maybe they only come in ITR colors?

might be kinda cool, like a scar.

Anybody know more than me about it?

Are you saying to weld the holes shut? I think the plug idea may be the best. Paint the plugs to match and seal them with sealant. Any idea where to find these plugs at?

I picked up some plastic plugs from autozone, but the only thing is the holes are like 3 different sizes so only a couple are plugged.

Im sure if you go there and just look around you'll find them, it's not that big of a store. And the multiple employees who work there will know where they are

Check the "tree" where they have all the OEM-type fastners.

Lowe's has plastic hole plugs in multiple sizes. I had them on my car before I had the holes filled in. I tried several times to paint them with touch-up paint, but the way the air flows over the car with junk in the air, I guess, would always take the paint right off.

The best way is to weld them shut, grind it smooth, apply bondo and sand it super smooth, prime, and paint.

My friend did mine along with my paint work. He used a little piece of metal cut from a paint can lid and stuck it up inside where the big 7/8" hole is, and welded over that.

i had some in my civic, there is an auto paint supply store around here and they had lots of interior clips (the kind that hold door panels and headliners, etc.). tons of different sizes.....
i browsed, found, and painted; used silicone under the clips and no leaks

exactly. the harder they are to fit in the holes, the better only so that the fitment is snug and be sure to put something inbetween the plastic lip and the trunk lid so it wont leak.

I am not familiar with this "tree". Is it on the counter, or in one of the isles?
