What do you use to cover up the holes the bolts go through that screw onto the wing?

Are there some sort of rubber plugs available at supercheap, autobarn etc?

Thanks.

They are called rubber grommets.

I think you needed 7mm and 16mm ones iirc.

You can pick them up for like 50c each from repco etc.

no pictures but they're in blister packs
you can usually find them on those rotating racks at super cheap or bunnings sells them too
just get them in a small enough size

Just look through the integra picture thread in the appearance lounge,
A dc2r without a spoiler, looks like any other dc2/4 with no spoiler.

Imo, if you take the spoiler off, do a good/proper job and get the holes welded so that the surface is smooth...unless youre thinkin about putting it back on later.

yeh the rubber grommits are only good for a little while, i did the same thing but water still sometimes gets in and there pritty tight, and after a while in the sun they break, the best thing is to fill the holes, go to a pannel beater

weld them shut, body filler and respray.. i think rubber grommets look a tad bit cheapo.. if you like your car enough you'd get it done properly

im getting my spouler off tomorrow.

taking it to a panel beater to get it filled and resprayed properly, if your serious about removing your spoiler youd do the same
