ya you will have a huge hole where the wiper is, a bunch of smaller holes where the bolts are, a big bump where the wires for the brake light went through, this weird kind of super-velcro on either side of the spoiler that might get stuck to your car, bits where the thumbnail meets the rear hatch where the paint will be flaked off, and the whole thing looks bad. but I've been driving around with it like that for over a year :D I'll grab a pic when I get home. Put some electrical tape over the holes and it looks way less obvious and then you don't get so much water in your trunk.

Are you talking about the 95-96 spoiler? When I bought my 97 the previous jackass painted the spoiler white and it looked like crap so I took it off and got plastic plugs(sorta) and painted them black and put silicone around the bases. I only had 2 big holes and 3 smaller ones on the deck which I plugged with painted red plugs, it does'nt look bad but it does'nt look good either. If you have a 95-96 your best bet is to take it to a body shop which will cost you an arm and a leg.

the quote for me was around $700cdn. In the picture in my sig, my spoiler holes are not filled, just the electrical tape, but you could never tell they were there, could you?
