Looking to temporarily take off my spoiler and plug the holes.. I'll be getting the holes filled but for now I'm just gonna use plugs until i do. What size plugs and does anyone have pics of what they look like??

The parts houses have a assortment of plastic plugs for the interior. I didn't think they would seal tight enough.
I made my plugs from carriage bolts since they are smooth head. I also made gaskets for the bolts too.
PM me you phone # and I'll send you a couple of pics tonight. Or I'll load the pics on PB and post them tomorrow.
BTW, The holes are different sizes.

Grab a ruler and measure the holes. Then you'll know what size plugs to get.

Grab some nylon plugs, sand the top down, paint them with your body color, and plug em in. Voila.

CC texted me some pics and sent me some tips on how to figure this out. Luckily had some bolts laying around. Took the wing off and tried each bolt until it fit right and flush.. So i got the 2 diff size bolts. Gotta go to home depot tomorrow and get the same size bolts, see if i can find flat headed ones and in black. Need gaskets too to put between the bolt and nut.

I think a wingless truck looks stupid on our cars... It just doesn't flow at all.

everyone has their own opinion on wingless trunks...but the holes are different sizes, when my spoiler I had painters tape to cover the holes until my s281 was done being painted.

The holes are different sizes, the plugs are like $0.47 for two. I grabbed a few different ones and found the ones that worked. It's been so long that I can't recall what worked. I siliconed around the plugs from the inside of the trunk lid after I put them in. FWIW, Lowes has a much better selection than Home Depot when it comes to this stuff.
