We removed a pair of rear spoilers from our GTs this past weekend...and my 02's spoiler had a bunch of water in it. It's been sitting on the HOT back porch for the past couple of days, in various positions and most of the water has drained, but some still remains. And underneath where the spoiler sat on the trunk lid, the paint has bunchs of pin head sized bubbles. 
Besides that, the posts seem to have left crud that we've tried to clean with various products and light elbow grease (goo-gone, Meguiars paint cleaner, window cleaner, etc) without much luck. The best part was the Hillman brand nylon hole plugs we found at Lowes (not at Home Depot) - 2X 3/8" and 2X 5/16" fit perfectly and were .87 cents a pair. Someone out here or on MD had pointed us in the right direction for these parts. Unfortunately, they were out of stock on the 3/8" black ones, (and my touch up paint had turned to molasses (at 7pm on Sunday - parts store closed), so I temporarily used a Sharpie, and we used regular touch up paint on my wife's True Blue GT. They come in white or black. Sealed em with clear silicone and wiped any excess. Still, the condition and the quality of the paint underneath the spoiler posts bugs me, but I like the clean look. So this is likely a temporary thing anyway, unless I can find black and true blue trunks, without holes...cheap.
And I was amazed how light the spoiler actually is...like 2 pounds, that's it.
I couldn't post this without a couple of pics - but, sorry for the rain spots...it rained yet again today!
I'll clean it up by the weekend (depending on what Frances decides to do!) and give you all some better pics...

I almost left it off.
...I'd think filler would crack over time, especially on a horizontial surface, where it is baked by the FL sun.
HAHA if you were in the garage why didn't you just wipe off the trunk lid with a towel or drying cloth and then take the picture? 
Seriously, I doubt they engineered this thing much - it's totally cosmetic.
