I took my spoiler off today while I was in the process of popping out a dent in my fender. I actually like the way it looks spoiler-less. My plan was to repaint it and my mirrors since the paint is fading a little bit but I may leave it off and sell it. Maybe get me a Jails wing because those are sexxxxy.
But yeah, I'm diggin the wingless look. And I pulled off my mudflaps, and may clear out my signals and side markers sometime soon. And look into fabbing or buying a rear strut tower bar I'll toss some pics up in the next couple days, I'm still in debate about how to go about lowering the car since I'm pretty dang broke lol all my mods are ones that I can do for under $50ish oh yeah, and an airhorn is soon to come too, i like being obnoxious -------------------- 1999 Celica GT

i took mine off before and i love the look but i ended up putting it back on because i didnt want to spend money to get the holes shaved permanently. i was using red electrical tape which looked fine from a distance. if you put it back on be careful not to overtorque the bolts, mine broke very easily and i had to search home depot fot the right size replacement.

Ive got 7 holes in the back of my car. I'd take mine off but theres just too much to cover. I wish i could find a hatch with no holes and no spoiler.

i saw red electrical grommets the other day that would work well for someone trying to cover their holes. they would work better than electrical tape in water sealing, only thing is they raise above the surface of the car about an eighth of an inch. if i remember correctly, i measured the holes when i had my spoiler off. 5 of them are 3/8inch diameter circles (the bolt holes), other 2 are pill shaped and i want to say 1/2inch wide by 5/8inch long. just if anybody was wondering, 96+ of course.

I love the wing-less look, it just fits the car more I think, the lines and what not, our cars have a pretty nice rear end so you dont lose any sex points wihtough it.

I think my spoiler makes me look unique. I'd rather take it off though and put a body kit on. but i have no money so she stays the way she is. Does anybody know if they sold a wingless hatch here in the US?
