removing ricer wing

[2lowACCOl2D]

I was wanting to remove the ricer wing from my cb and cant afford a new trunk or to fill and repaint so i need some ideas of a way to plug the holes that will not be too noticable. Anybody have any ideas

hmm well first id like to say great choice on removing the wing

and it couldnt cost too much to fill and paint the area, but i know what its like to be strapped on money

so on that note, my guess is as good as yours. if you wanna be ghetto use some rubber plugs

ducktape or metal tape on the inside of the trunk?

im using duct tape where i removed my broken power antenna, just until i get my s2k antenna

if you put tpae where the wholes ar and paint it the body color its hardly noticabel..obviously just a quick/temporary fix tho

Removing the wing: GOOD CALL


Filling those holes? well, there's no other way around it as the other posts indicate...

JB Weld, Bondo...but remember, holes like that can start to rust...and rust is the damn plague.

good luck, save up that chedda$$ and get it filled and repainted ASAP.

i can't beleive i'm sayin this but do what maple did, besides using a quarter use a piece of metal, jb weld it in and use touchup paint to hide whatever

band-aid for the boo boo

after taking mine off I went to lowes hardware and bought some bolts and rubber seals to fill the holes with. I then painted the heads of the bolts black (same color as car) so that they didnt stand out as much. I'd like to get another lid but dont have the money.
This has been a very cheap fix for mine with no problems other than the paint on the bolts starting to flake off.
Also holes do NOT leak water


Note: pic was before I painted the bolt heads black

Use those little snake-eyes washer fluid caps, so you can blind people who are riding your ass at night, or squirt some sort of nasty liquid during the daytime.

Very creative and good idea.

Sometimes the JDM plugs from a integra will fit, depends on how big the hole is.
