Default Need advice on what to do about spoiler holes on my Z

I got my Z a couple of months and it came with no spoiler, just the 4 holes on the hatch. What are some solutions for the problem?

Im kind of in a budget so i thought about putting carbon fiber vinyl on the whole top? it might be difficult with all the curves tho.
Maybe a some dope non ricer stickers?
Look in a junkyard for a OEM spoiler?

Give me some ideas please thanks in advance!

why not just get the oem spoiler and fix the issue. That seems like the easiest and cheapest way to go. Unless you just get a carbon hatch. Theres a guy selling one with the glass in the marketplace I think.

I wouldn't waist money on a cheap fix...

If you do not want to have a spoiler then take it to a body shop and have them patch the holes and blend in the paint.

If you want a spoiler then go pick one up.

non ricer stickers? to perform a ricer fix that will fool no one? hah.

get a spoiler, or get them filled and repainted. anything else is a waste of effort and money. cover them with tape in the mean time on both sides, just to keep the water out.

OP's talking about covering the holes with stickers... You really think he cares about finding out what spoiler his car used to have? NO.

Temp fix, just get a colored vinyl decal to cover the holes

Cheapist perm fix, look in the marketplace/ebay for a used OEM spoiler and mount it. I have a silver one i may sell, but hold out for the proper color. It should only take a month or two to find one.

Pick an aftermarket spoiler that will cover the holes (most of them will)

Fill and paint the holes

So,these 4 holes are from a OEM spoiler that was removed?
If so,the best thing to do would get another OEM spoiler.
They are not that expensive.You can get e'm pre-painted in your body color.
Or,buy another spoiler that would cover the holes if you want more of a custom look.
Of course,this would be more expensive.
IMO,decal,plugs...overlays all will look lame.
