I was looking for plugs today at Home Depot, and I could not find anything. The holes appear to be 1/4 inch, no luck so far. For now I just have some plastic plugs that I forced in place. They aren't waterproof, but it is only temporary until I find something better. Either way water will not find it's way into the trunk. With the smaller of the two spoilers the holes were put above the rain gutter, so the weatherstripping in the trunk will still keep water out.

$25 may be a little high, but they look pretty good:

Of course, I think you need 6 plugs, so that's $75. They may not look that good.

Got the Home Depot plugs. They are white and I painted them. For the larger holes, the size is 5/16". I haven't gotten anything yet for the smaller threaded hole.
There is a rectangular plastic cover with a hole at the center hole. I haven't been able to get this off. Anyone have any trick to this?
BTW the Home Depot plugs are in the screw/bolt section in the little drawers about half way down the aisle. I assume most Home Depot's would have them roughly in the same place.

I had a GG IX and went to a local vinyl sign place. they had matching vinyl that I cut into circles and covered the holes. it looked better than the plugs i tried. I think i still have the vinyl if any1 wants it and can pick it up in rockford illinois.
