Yeah duct tape is lame, I took some silver thick pinstriping and covered my holes, it holds up pretty well, I have had my wing off for about a year now... and I bought a roll so everyone once in awhile, I remove all the pinstripe then put more on.. I have no water leaks or any troubles at all

i'd have to try it out then and see how it looks. cuz i HATE washing my car and its all nice and everything then i drive somewhere get off and look in the back, freaking water drips because of the water hiding in the wing.

Alright up close I will admit that it's not the cleanest job or fix... of course the best thing would be to find a wingless silver hatch or weld them shut and repaint (thats next spring for me :) ) The main thing you have to look out for is if the spoiler has rubbed through the paint on the hatch... which mine did.. but I think it looks so much better without it that I just deal with the lines made from the spoiler. Plus my paint is for sh*t lol

Also you could do a better tape job then me... I was in a hurry and didn't really care. Also that pinstripe is from spring when I took my car to stl for a meet.. so it lasts pretty good.

awww just do it! if your paint already crap whats a few holes going to matter :p

Ive seen Josh teg, and it does look even better inperson but IF I was only take off my wing if I weld up the holes, there's still a chance with the tape/ plugs water might get in the truck, bondo would crack n chip over time. But that's just my ADD right there.. do it right way the first time.haha

and your teg doesnt look like the paint is bad, or you just know how to take really good pictures

well.. its cuz i dnt wanna get another honda emblem, theyre pricey lmao!! i wanted to just get another hatch to replace mine but eeehhhh.. nah haha. i mean the emblems and everything are going to come off when i paint the car, which sucks but oh well.

im not majoring for photography but i do love taking pictures haha. if you were to see the car in person, its not all that clean, shes just photogenic haha.

That was too me lol, everytime I saw my paint looks like sh*t he says that lol, oh Andy we all know my paint is crap just go ahead and accept it. But Andy for the dragon I should have some fresh paint for ya to look at lol

I think the silver just photographs well.

^^ sorryyyy. but silver is really good to take pics of, reason why i want to stay with a light color but not white. silver gets reflections from bright contrasts, well IMO, and if the paint is super well taken care of its always a plus. black cars are soooo hard to take pictures of, i get frustrated haha.

Oh it was no biggie... he always gives me crap when I make a comment on my paint... bc in person it is very faded and is past the point of saving.

^^^ I'm sure that would work too.. I was just showing the way I went... I'm sure there are tons of ways to do it.
