Step 3:
Gentley pull up on your spoiler (the spoiler is one threaded screw attached to it that can scratch your hood easily if not careful, I wasn't It should pop out fairly easily, there is slight adhesive on trunk (more to just protect rubbing on the paint than holding it down). There is also plastic clip that is also permanently attached to under spoiler that comes out from the trunk hole not is in the rain drain.



First circle on left is the plastic clip on bottom of spoiler that comes out with ease. Circle on right is the screw attached to the spoiler *be cautious of when lifting up so it doesn't scratch against trunk.

There are a couple different ways to plug the holes.

First you could go the cheap route and go to autozone or any other similar auto store, and get plasic/rubber plugs for it and paint them.

Second you could go and get color matched vinyl pieces from a local shop cut in circles slightly larger than the holes in your trunk.

Third would be to take it to an autobody shop and have them filled and then painted.

Or you could always buy a trunk, whether it be a factory one without holes, carbon fiber, or Do-Luck (carbon fiber too, my fave)
