Go to autobarn, there is little rubber plugs for the holes, mate did it on his s15 and my skyline. Doesn't look awesome, but it does the job if you can't afford for it to be welded and painted.

You can bog the holes and then just get a boot re-spray, should only be $200 for one panel.

Or just get some rubber blanking grommets from Autobran/supercheap to plug the holes.

How small do these come? I have two tiny locating holes from when I removed a badge on my car.

They dont look so bad.I like to assume people use their wings for track days and take it off and plug them stylishly for drifting. But hell, what % of people with rear wings actually create any downforce? I just like to think everyone is awsome. cool.gif

For smaller holes me and a mate bought a couple of small rubber o rings about the size of the hole, and just put a nut and bolt through. If you do it up it'll be leak proof and you pretty much only get a little mound from the top of the bolt. Though any of the other suggestions will work fine aswell

Edit: I didnt explain it well, but the o ring acts as a washer

I put them in my lancer that i used to have. Didnt look to flash, but did the job. I've seen small ones at autobarn, but i'd suggest pushing them through from under the inside of the boot at clipping them level with you lid. Not as noticible that way. Just my thoughts.

You can get pretty small ones, otherwise buy the smallest they have and cut them down to suit.

Lol not for very long. Mate put tape on his, peels pretty quick when being in the sun for a day. Even with the good tape that I use at work.
