adding a GT500 wing - how did you "cover" holes?

I'm considering a GT 500 spoiler for my car and I may go with a replica that doesn't use all 4 holes. I've read a lot of posts that talk about "covering" or "sealing" the unused factory holes - how do you do that?

some people say they just cover them w/3m tape - does that really work?

Mine are just taped and no problem so far......Are you going with the 3D Carbon wing? Thats what I have and if I had to do it over again I think I'd go with the Ford part.......I've heard it has come down in price quite a bit.

The 3D carbon wing tends to peel up on the ends......Mine isn't doing it bad at all, but some others I've seen have really come up on the ends.

And I thought that I had gotten a good price on one 5 months ago @$220.00
$189 from a dealer is a great price IMO

OEM is right around 200. I got mine oem when I got my front end parts. OEM parts just gives that extra level of comfort and pc. of mind.

Dyno day was great! Doug re-tuned my car w/ the intercooler and 12lb pulley and got 400 rwhp out of her.

I sealed mine with a good dab of clear silicone, better safe than sorry I guess.
