You will probably need the entire hatch repainted, you will be looking at $300 to $500 to get the holes filled and painted.

I just removed my Nismo wing yesterday, 90% positive you will need the hatch painted.

Plugs are generally only used temporarily. If you want to avoid water damage you need the holes welded and painted properly. It also gives you the opportunity to remove the 350z and Nissan logos if you so choose.

Why would you trade your wing for a pair of springs? Wouldn't it make sense to trade it for all 4?

Remove inside of hatch to gain access to wing bolts. Remove wing. Put hatch back together again.

How much does it cost to patch and paint a hatch? $700.

You will need to remove your hatch inside cover and see how the bolts are mounted. Most likely your best bet is to trade hatches with someone.

That's why we were recommending that you trade hatches, it isn't cheap to fix the holes.

Yes I am a moderator, PM if you need something.
