from what i've seen, there are either black or white plastic or rubber plugs you can use. what you should do is measure the width of the holes, and go to the hardware store and find plugs that will fit, then, paint them the same color of your car.

Check Canadian Tire, they are sure to have some rubber/silicone plugs you could use to plug the holes. Did you do a search yet? I think I remember people listing the proper size before.

I used carriage bolts, these are the type of bolts that you see in older style chrome bumpers the one's i purchased were quarter inch by i inch long from Lowe's. I sanded the top of the bolts which are rounded off so i could have a semi rough surface to paint the bolts with my touch up paint, then i used a clearcoat to seal the paint. To seal the bolts i used these rubber electical grommets which fit perfectly in the rear holes on the trunk lid. The rear holes on the trunk lid are 3 eighths of an ich wide and the ones up front are a quarter of an inch wide. With the grommets in place i just screwed down the bolts with the smooth side on the top of the trunk with the bolts going through the trunk lid just make sure to use washers and then put the nuts on the bolts. I know this sounds confusing but i have no way to show pictures of how this was done. Best of all i didn't have to use silicon to seal the bolts or use plugs which some dumb a$$ could pull out for meaness. This really turned out to be the best way for me and no leaks and really looks great my car looks so damn mean and wide from behind with the 275x40x17's feeling up the wheel wells.

Do what I did...

Get some factory touch up paint in your color.

Go to a sign making shop, and have them cut out some vinyl circles big enough to cover the mounting holes, about 1/8 to 1/16 bigger than the hole itself (to seal the edges). They will come pre-cut on a sheet (mine were at least).

Paint the circles with the touch up paint while they're still on the cut sheet. When the paint is dry, peel off 4 and stick them over the holes.

A cheap fix, won't leak, looks better (IMO) than bolts sticking off the lid surface, and they last a long time (mine have been on for over a year).

You can even wax/polish over them to keep them shiny.

Maybe you can find a V6 mustang without a spoiler, so you can trade decklids.
