PICS took the wing off...where to get plugs for the trunk?

fiveoho · Nov 8, 2007

just messing around the other day, took the wing off and the headlight covers and have been getting alot of compliments. do they make plastic or rubber plugs for the trunk holes? if so, where can i get them? any parts stores?

the holes are taped on the underside right now. was told that if i got the holes welded up ( then re paint the trunk ), as thin as that metal is it would warp?

also, didnt some v6 cars have wingless trunks?

before and after.....sorry for the chitty quality, cell phone pics

thanks bud

seems opposite for me...around my area, its more v6s with them

any idea on the plugs?

jefferz · Nov 8, 2007

Yes you can probably find a trunklid for cheap from a V6. Most didnt have them in 94-95 I thought.

I didnt always have one . I put one on after I swapped the 5.0 in.

looks good either way. check out a hardware store, you bight be able to find some plugs there.

looks good, I have always liked spoiler delete on lowered cars.......

when I removed the front license plate on my Lightning I found some plugs at Pepboys, they had a lot of different sizes, I then scuffed them and painted them with touch-up paint. They may have something that will work for you.

Much better I went to a body shop and got plastic plugs with the fluted bottoms , painted the things body color for now and pushed them in the holes with a bit of sealer on em

hey thanks guys the compliments and info. much appreciated

if i can find them, i may take the suggestion and dab some paint on them to make a decent match.

i'll stop by a few auto parts stores tonight. maybe i'll get lucky

Looks good man! I've been bouncing the idea back and forth forever lol.

I'm just gonna grab a v6 lid

That and I wanna do the old roushish duckbill on the stock deck.

Change is good

You could always use carriage bolts. I like the spoiler though, I think the cars look naked without them.

Let me put it this way... I don't like the fact that the first think you notice about the car is that there isn't a spoiler.

nice--i'm partial to the wingless look meself.

for the plugs: i've seen plenty at auto parts stores.

I have to side with Adam. Not crazy about wingless. My attention goes straight to the trunk. Now stop posting pictures of my car!

picked up some plastic flush, thin headed push pins and some silicone at carquest, $7. this should keep the water out and make for a 'ok' look. no luck finding actual plugs. before i put these on, in the event that i want to put my wing back on, is the silicone going to create a problem ( ie- will it act like super glue, will take the paint off )?

I found some Plugs at a Lowe's that worked great on my Crown Vic PI.
They have been on there for 5 years plus now.
Cheap too.

Sorry man, I like the wing better.
