    Default spoiler removal

    hey everyone,
    I'm planning to remove the spoiler off my vt just to see how it looks. Planning to buy some grommits and paint them silver and see if i like the look or not before i get it done properly. Does anyone know what size grommits i would be after to cover the holes?

    thanks,
    -michael

    i just went out and bought 4x3/4" grommits and 3x1/2" grommits, would these be ok to use to plug the boot holes?

    instead of removing the spoiler i have found a spoilerless boot in the same colour as my car. How hard of a task would it be to change it over? Can anyone shed some light on how i would go about this?
    thanks,

    Its preety easy i was able to swap 2 boots over in 4 hours, rewiring both boots etc. 2-3 person Job though as its hard to align the boot again against the boot hinges. You need 2 people to hold the boot up in the air and one to screw everything to it.

    also you will have to rewire the high mount brake light on both cars.
