Ahh I didn't even think about that. I've seen some people plug up holes about that size on their trunk after removing their spoiler and it ended up gettin rust.

Might be a silly question but where do I get these vinyl plugs/holes from?

I didn't even bother covering my emblem holes... It passes the 5ft rule No one can tell unless you look for it

No water trouble either!!!

I just used scraps from leftover obey vinyl stickers that I had. Hell you can probably do it with electrical tape if you wana be extra ghetto, lol.

I don't have much worries about water getting in. It's pretty much sealed cuz the vinyl is really tacky.

I know some of these comments are a few years old, but i'm actually wondering if the person who tried this would recommend it now being the fact they've been on there a for a few years. Does it last?
