Status: offline yeah i thinks ill do that first. i found where this guy plugged the holes with plastic plugs and sealed it with silicone. ill probably do that.

Status: offline yeah i know people use plugs and silicon, or the push tabs (like whats under your hood holding the insulation on) with silicon.

problem may be the condition of your trunk lid. mine was really scratched from where my spoiler sat on mine, so without getting my trunk redone taking the spoiler off wasnt going to happen for me.

definately leave it off for a week and see how you like it before you make anything permanent or difficult to reinstall your spoiler.
