Spoiler Removal?

[honda2014]

I want to change the spoiler on my 93 se, but it has the wing with a 3rd taillight. I know which spoiler I want, but what should I do about the holes in the trunk?

[deevergote]

The proper way to do it is to weld up the holes.

You could also get another trunklid from a CB that didn't come with a spoiler. Either way, you're probably going to have to get it painted.

I've got quite a bit of body work to do. A front right fender, hood dents/rust galore, at least 5 dents to bang out. Planning to save up for a full plasti-dip.

If you're doing that, why not do a real paint job?

Anyways, if you're doing paint and changing panels anyways, why not just get a trunk lid without a spoiler?

Because plasti-dip is the current trend.

Get a new trunk and repaint the car

lmao plastidip. any way i got your same problem, however i am pulling my spoiler off and remounting the led strip for a high mount 3rd brake light. your option's are find a spoilerless trunk where you will however have to put in a 3rd brake light for the speaker deck if you dont already have one, or just weld up the holes seeing how you have alot of body work to do just fill the holes yourself.

I'm sorry guys I know we don't judge each other here but come on your gonna plasti dip your whole car just because its some new trend come on man I have the same spoiler on my 90 Ex that your talking about I'm just gonna get a virgin trunk lid

plastidip looks pretty cool and a gallon is only 80 bucks, so why not do something that can be so easily undone, everyone was riding eachothers sacks when it was all "look at my plastidipped wheels" so big deal if the kid found something to express himself and be cheap while trying.

filling those holes are easy with some screen and short chop fiberglass filler and regular body filler.

welding the trunk is probably going to cost you as much as just getting one from the junkyard. your best bit is get a used one because a shop might charge you a setup fee for BS welds their not going to make money off of. but if your going be replacing quarter pound skin then just weld the holes.

If you want to remove it and temporarily seal up the holes, put a strip of electrical tape on them.

[93smurf]

if you have an ex there is only 1 hole you really need to block off the middle one like i said ex spoiler im not familiar with the other spoilers or how many bolt holes they have. but i just removed mine today and re-wired a deck 3rd brake light back in. and the outer holes on the trunk deck fall right into the drip rails.

You Should be able to find a wingless trunk lid for cheap at a local junkyard
