New Spolier, but Holes in the Trunk

I am about to buy a VIS Racing Spoiler w/ Carbon Deck - about $500 + paint about $100


http://autocityimports.com/2006-hond...iv-p-7760.html

I have an EX Coupe, after take off the original lip spolier. There will be extra holes on the trunk.....

I hear some people from the fourm say body shop fix the holes and repaint the trunk for about $200 - $300.

I can't affort $1,000 for this mod.
Is there any other way to fix the hole?

there are 8 holes spanning across the trunk lid which holds the EX spoiler on, plus adhesive

I don't believe there's any other way to make it look good without bringing it to a shop.

Either you leave the holes and your trunk gets wet all the time, or you have two spoilers. that'll deserve a

You might want to consider buying a CF trunk at the same time. No holes anyway...

I'll try to be realistic here. If you can't afford the mod, don't do it. Save some money and be patient. When you can afford it, then you can do it.

Sometimes, there are little "plugs" available, such as they use when selling ex-police cars. They plug all the old cat-tail antenna holes etc. w/ them. You could do this, then paint them to match.
