Default Rear spoiler removal??

So when I got home from work today I just got the sudden urge to remove my rear spoiler from my 95 4 door teg.

So I unbolted it....and then had to fiddle with the wiring that led to the brake light to remove the damn spoiler. Then I hooked up my parking light in the rear windshield. (Glad it worked!)

I knew there would be holes, but I didn't really think about that before I removed it cause I really didn't like that thing on the back. I think it looks so much "cleaner" especially on a white 4 door. I will be lowering it in a few weeks and I think it will look much better and even since the back looks higher in the front anyways.

:wavey: So does anybody have any good ideas to plug the holes to avoid water in my trunk or rust and so it doesn't look all ghetto. The 2 holes on each side fall into the drainage type part of the trunk so I just covered them with tape in the inside for now. Now the hole that the wires went through go inside the trunk. All I had in my garage was a black rubber plug thing. So I plugged that in there from underneath. It sticks out a little but since its black it really "sticks out" This is just temporary stuff though.

How much would it cost to go to a body shop and have them fill the holes??
Any other ideas. I was thinking about painting some big flat headed screws that will cover the holes and then use a nut on the underneath part to tighten it. I could try to paint the top of the screw with my touch up paint I guess.

Any ideas, help, comments would be awesome!!

Go to home depo and go to the plug section and see all the different sizes they have. Get the ones you need, paint them the color of your car and plug away.

Maybe I will be going to home depot or something, cause I really don't want to pay $100-$200 for something I though would be so simple. I might as well put the damn thing back on for that.

I was also thinking that maybe I could find a cheap wingless trunk on craigslist or somethin in my area, so I think I'll keep my eyes open for that too besides the plugs.
