    as a temp fix you can put rubber plugs in the holes from like repco

    permanent fix is find a boot the same colour without a wing (would actually be cheaper)

    or pay a panel beater to weld the plug then respray it and blend the panels

    thats wat it looks like with the rubber grommets in..
    for a more subtle look u can paint them the same colour as ur car..
    got quoted about $400 to weld and paint my boot so not doing that yet..
    been like that for about 3 months and hasnt had a problem..
    jsut make sure that the grommets fit in tight!
