Figured I'd ditch that old thread.>

Catch-up: I damaged my spoiler and then realized this was an opportunity to >remove it completely.>

OK I visited Austin Bolt Company and the guy there was super cool and set me >up with four stainless steel bolts (to fill the smaller-than-dime-s­ize >holes) and locking nuts for the inside and four sets of sealed washers >(washers that have rubber on one side). I didn't bother painting the bolt >tops because I actually like the look of the four stainless steel bolts. And >wow I really like the look of the car better now. And if/when I sell this >car, if they want a spoiler put back on, it would be very easy to remove >these "plugs". I haven't tested their water-tightness yet but I'm confident >they are quite water-tight.>

Cost in time and money: Austin Bolt Company is 2 miles from my house and I >spent about 15 minutes there as the guy invited me back into their warehouse >to walk with him to get just the right bolts. Total cost for the bolts, >nuts, and washers: $2.00! I got home and it took me about 10 minutes to >install all four sets.
