    how would the bolt stay in? if you use good bondo and the holes arent huge, you could just bondo over the top of them, but it will never look perfect thats for sure

    Unless you know body work really well I would suggest taking it to a body shop. Just get it done professionally because no matter how hard you try it will never look perfect because I am guessing you have never done any body work. Pay the cash and keep your suby looking clean. Other option you have is to try and find somebody that wants a wing and trade

    I learned a trick from Todd.

    Take aluminum tape and tape it over the hole on the paint side.
    Then bondo from the back and it will be flush.
    Then paint it.
    Don't use the little brush paint though, use spray from the dealer.

    thats almost exactly what i did. and it looks great. i also debadged my trunk. it came off extra easy with the dental floss. and for the glue...i used my fingernail and bug and tar remover. that stuff cleaned it up really good.

    you can get plugs at any store and put them in....just know the size of the holes on ur trunk....im gonna go wingless too but i rather trade with someone who has a wingless trunk, that way they can mount watever wing they want on it without drilling new holes....
