Default "Stock" Rear Lip to Nismo Wing...Holes??

I purchased my Z with the "Stock" Rear Aero Lip. When I removed it to install my Nismo Wing, I was dissappointed to learn that the "Stock" Rear Aero Lip fastener clip holes are not covered by the Nismo install. I was wondering if anyone considered a matched paint "smooth" plug to fill the holes? If so, how did it end up looking?. I am probably going to have my holes filled and re-spray the area. Just trying to avoid any re-paint because Chrome Silver is very hard to match.

Damn. I was under the impression that the holes lined up. Bummer.

Me too. Is that a replica Nismo wing? I thought at minimum the Nismo would cover the OEM holes.

It's one of the replica wings that covers the holes, the authentic NISMO wing doesn't.

The US NISMO wing definitely will NOT fit the OEM spoiler holes. Apparently the OEM spoilers are installed in a rather casual manner and the holes can vary by as much as 3/4" in location. If you are lucky, and have a very careful installer, you can move the wing back enough to hide the holes and not require painting. It is, however, a royal pain. If I had it to do over, I'd definitely go with a replica and not the US NISMO wing.
