Some cosmetic help needed

I'm not a big fan of wings in general, especially on a four door. I want to remove the wing that came standard on my 02 ES, but I'm also being a cheap bastatrd, and wondering if anyone knows where i can pick up a little lip spoiler for the rear of the car. Something similar to what Ford used to offer on the 95-97 Contour SE model. If I can pick it up at the right price, it may be cheaper than having a body shop fill in the holes and refinishing the trunk lid. TIA

I do not know much about 3rd gen sedan, but if you look at it from an aerodynamic point of view, then there would be no way to find a lip spoiler. IMO. I am simply comparing, for exmple to 2nd gen, that has very round shape, and the 3rd is not so. I do not a lip spoiler would actually do anything. I would not take my word for it, just a theory.

Not too worried about aerodynamics, just thinking of a cheap way to cover up the existing holes when I remove the wing. Figured a lip spoiler might o the trick.

Anybody have any ideas how much it would cost to have the holes filled, and have the trunk lid repainted to make it look like new?

If you want to cover up those holes cheaply, go get some plastic nuts, screws and rubber washers, and plug them holes up. A few bucks from Home-Depot. Or you can get those screw heads with lights in them (approximately $20.00).
