Removing the Wing (2003 GT)

[Matt's 03 GT]

I love the look of the Bullit without the rear wing. How do I remove my stock wing without driving around with holes in my trunk? Is there a kit for this or do I just take the trunk lid to a body shop to be filled and painted?

If anyone has pictures of what they have done I would love to see them!

Thanks,

some people have gone to Lowes and got little plugs to put into the holes, plus they are paintable. but if you want a permanent fix you should take it to a body shop and let them fill the holes in.

3 options
1. take wing off take decklid to body shop for a fill and paint.
2. luck into the same color decklid in a junkyard or on a site for your car.
3. go get some body plugs and pop into the holes. They are the plastic pushin plugs for ataching various body panles, and trim to cars. I know on my 04 they were different size holes I wound up getting soem for a Gm and some for a ford to fill the holes.

#3 is a good way to go to see if you really like ti and want to make it permanent.

Now I need to do #1

Find a V6er in your area who wants the wing and trade. You'll have to swap truck locks as well.

I went to home depot and bought some plastic plugs. A little touch up paint to match, some clear silicone and you can't really notice at all unless you look closely

I'll take it off tonight and see what I find underneath. I will try the plugs and silicone from Home Depot and see how I like it before comitting to the body shop!!

Thanks for your help.

I did this about 3 weeks ago. 1 week ago I put the wing back on. Looked very ghetto IMO with the plugs in. I even painted them to match the body. If you want to go wingless, and I LOVE that look on a GT, do it right and get a non-wing lid to swap on your car.
