    Does anyone know the size of the holes in the trunk lid for the spoiler on an WRX? I want to get into the McMaster book today and order some hole caps to find out how I like my car minus the spoiler.

    Thanks, I remember that one, which is why I started thinking about how I would do it. I'm looking for the size of the hole, so I can search for some of the plugs that I have in mind.

    McMaster Carr has 3/8", 1/2", 5/8". 3/4", 7/8"...+

    I'll order a bunch and mail them to a couple other guys/gals that want to try er-out.

    cool, that's easy enough.
    I'll see If I can steal a socket from the shipping guys and pull the thing off sometime today.

    I picked mine up at this little hardware store off of Portland and American Blvd.

    They had the exact sizes I needed, and I believe there are 7 holes in the 02 wrx trunk.

    Make sure you use a little clear sealant/epoxy on them so it doesn't leak.

    I've got some clear kock at home - I just replaced a broken bay window.

    Does anyone know what the cables do or where they go?

    Well then, what would I do with all of my spare time? :biggrin:

    And, I found out that I need a couple new carbs for the boat. The stainless butterfly ROD actually wore out the hole in the carb casing and it's causing a major Vaccuum leak. suckzors.

    I was heading out of town that weekend and the forcast was for some serious rain. Then, I blew out my suspension so this baby is on the back burner for a week or two.

    When I get it sorted out, I'll be the plastic-plug Santa and all the twin cities area will be known as the land formerly known as "had wings."
