Default no more wing, me likes :-)

Took off my wing last weekend, mounted the LED inside my rear glass. I still have yet to find the right size plugs to fill all the holes, but once I do will paint the plugs w/ touch up paint, so it will look even better. :thumbup:

Is that the factory wheels you have on? I like that smoke color, how did you do it? I assume you do it yourself as oppose to it come in stock.

you could always shave the holes, not that hard... just need to get the trunk resprayed. that's all.

that'd look better that plugs in your holes.....

I don't care for doing non-reversible mods. Plus this is a few bucks vs. hundreds of dollars for body work. Body work is at the bottom of my priority/spending list right now.

The wheels I sprayed w/ DupliColor Graphite wheel paint from AutoZone. I think I'm going to redo them in a few weeks, using some aircraft stripper to remove ALL paint, clearcoat, etc. and then using a primer before the paint. I'll post more pics after that.

you can do the body yourself.
it'll take you like 2 hours if it's your first time shaving.

**** is beyond simple...

If I were to shave the holes, I would have them welded. I don't have a welder, and I would definitely not use bondo. So I would not be doing it myself. That's several hundred dollars I would rather spend on more suspension stuff, or a header to get rid of this damn manifold rattle, or HID, etc. But like I said, I don't like doing non-reversible mods anyway.

The holes are approx. 1/4" for the bolt holes, 3/8" for the guide pin, and 7/8" for the wire harness. But like I said, all the hole plugs I've tried are either too big or too small, except for the 7/8" plug which fit perfectly.

if you do body work you use bondo.

there is no way around that.

if you weld up holes that's your poragative

you can fix them yourslef with fiberglass and bondo.

you are the first person i've met who wants to plug up his holes, and not smooth it out again

it's your car though...

so it's whatever...
