Oh my god- removed my STi wing- what have I done?
�

Crap!! I really liked the look of the wingless sti. So I thaught I would take off the wing and undo 17 bolts and I was left with 17 holes... My buddy thaught we can just plug them with these black platic peices sand them down , prime them and paint them white.. WHAT a DISSASTER I have these lumps everywere!! What do I do now? I like it wingless but my trunk is screwed!!! I can't fill tem out and repaint them because I plan on putting the wing back on when I return the car to leasing comp. Any advice.. I am to emvarassed to show pictures

It's a lease? Man, you should have thought ahead. Modding rule number one: there's always a chance you won't be able to put it back to stock.

I can put the wing back on no problem. Just knock the plugs out and stick wing back on in 15 minuts. I just wasn't sure if I would like the look or if I will buy out my lease but I didn't want to make this permanent. If I decide to I will just fill them in at a shop and get it repainted no biggy.. but I want to know some option I can do now? what is a DECK LID?

you had good intentions... but seriously - you gotta swap trunk lids with someone (which you can't in your case cuz it's a lease)

If it's "no biggy" then why were you freaking out about it in the first post and in the subject line? :)
Anyways, I would recommend bolting the wing back on and swapping your entire trunk with someone that has a wingless WRX and wants an STI spoiler. People do that a lot on these forums, if you look around you won't have a problem finding someone. That option is if you want to buy out the lease. If you're still not sure you can just buy a wingless WRX trunk lid. I happen to have a black one for sale but it has hail dents in it. If you're interested we can talk it over thru private messages.

Who would come up with the bright idea to plug holes with plastic pieces then sand the trunk down and paint them?? I need a picture... do you mean you just painted the plugs white and put them in the trunk??? Whats the big deal with that? How is the trunk screwed? Unless you sanded the WHOLE trunk... then well... :lol:

Some people on here can be such jerks. No wonder Nasioc has a bad rep among other car enthusiasts. As others have said, just buy a used white wrx wingless trunk, and swap trunks any time you want to switch between no wing or sti wing.
| ktm | 05-13-2005 12:08 AM |
You probably won't be able to do a swap since you need to return the car with all its original equipment. You might be able to buy a deck lid from someone.

But my holes are were these spoiler was? Is the deck led the Subaru lettering part? Or the whole trunk? Even if I get a wrx wing I need to fill the holes out right? 4 holes in total?
| imprezive one | 05-13-2005 12:23 AM |
A deck lid is just another name for the trunk lid, meaning the thing that you're trying to take the wing off of. The trunk lid I have for sale doesn't have any holes in it because it came off of a WRX without the spoiler as an option.

Ok now see, from how it read, I thought you put the plugs in THEN painted them. Which would be stupid.
What you did isnt a big deal! Pop the plugs out, put the wing back on and find a white wingless trunk :) Keep the STi trunk just incase ;)

I have seen pictures where someone has just removed the upper half of an STi wing, and left the lower half in place. They put a cap or something on where the upper half separates and you have a real nice looking short spoiler with a couple winglets... :)

You have only two choices. Put in back and swap with someone or leave it off and take it to a pro to fill the holes. There was plenty of good advice in your other thread.

It's funny because he tried to remove a wing, instead of doing a search and swapping trunk lids with a wingles (sti or wrx) :p

I bought a lid from the dealer. Local bodyshop matched the paint (I didn't want them to touch the rest of the car obviously). It looks perfect (other than the scratches I put it in grrrrrrr).

Who cares if it's lease. People scared of modding leases are people who can't work on their own cars and have to take it everywhere to have **** done to them. :devil:
My buddy had a new SS Camaro that was a lease. That thing ran low 11's, and never went to the dealership for any kind of service. After the lease was up it went back bone stock. He did all of the work himself.
My old 1.8T VW was modded to death to the point of warranty denial (if those VWOA bastards had got their hands on it :lol: ) and when I traded it in it looked bone stock, the dealership was like the tires look like they've never hit pavement (they only had 500 miles on them) :lol:
My STi is turning into a possible warranty nightware already, but believe me [COLOR=DarkRed]IF[/COLOR] (and I hope not) something major goes wrong, it'll be in my driveway getting put back stock and then towed to the dealership for the work.
So don't worry about your decklid mistake, it's nothing permanent, so who cares.
As for this forum being very abrasive to new enthusiasts it's definitely true. I stayed away for a long time just lurking, but since WRXLinks is down I joined. Some people on here think that if someone has never owned a Subaru before you're like a car novice or something. :rolleyes:

For the original poster: Another option you can try is going to a dealership parts department and asking how much a new trunk lid is. See if any of the dealerships near you support Subaru clubs. Some dealerships have parts discounts for Subaru club members. If you want I can PM you a list of part numbers and things to think about (do you want two lock cylinders or just switch the one you have between the two lids?). We've done a few STI swaps through the shop here.
For the poster who was bragging "When my STI goes in for warranty work I'll be putting it back to stock", thanks for nothing. It's people like you who screw over the rest of the community in more ways than one. I'm sure there are Subaru people who look at the boards every now and then, and posts like that reflect very badly on all of us. Also, defrauding Subaru means we all have to pay for your stupidity. It's not like a tech won't figure out something is up. Someone dumb enough to post something like that probably won't get one past the tech or the District Rep. Suck it up and take responsibility for your actions. Either that or sell your car. Please.
