Hey guys just a quick question with removing the spoiler. Where can I get some gromets to fit the holes and is there any tips you guys can give me for a cleaner look without the spoiler.

You should find suitable grommets in auto parts shops and maybe use a small bit of windscreen bond or similar to prevent water ingress. HTH

Cheers for the help man, I decided to put the wing back on because I didnt want to drive around with the holes in the back until I found the suitable plugs.

My buddy and I did this on his s14.
We found some plastic plugs at a local hardware store, and used silicone from inside teh trunk to glue them in, this way if he wants to remove them its still possiblt, but also keeps it sealed -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

supercheap or repco (or similar store) look for the champion packs, measure the hole and find the right bungs

I just don't like the whole grommet thing, looks cheap and ghetto. Do it right and weld up the holes, smooth it out, and respray it.

Yer I decided I wanted to do it like that, the colour of the grommets stand out to much for my liking, I may just look into getting a new spoiler for my car since the clear coat is wearing off of this one and I want something different. |
