Small update: Thanks to G-Ammo I decided to go through with the rear windshield wiper delete. I like it a lot better now :D

Nice man. It's just a regular plug from Lowes, and I put an O ring behind it from the inside to prevent any water from coming in. I still gotta see how well it works though. I just like how flat the plug is.

Oh yeah man definitely. The plug was only $1 for two from Lowes, in the hardware section. I got the one inch plug. The rubber part we remove from the same spot is 1.5 inches to be exact, but that's because the rubber covers a little more. The hole itself is only 1 inch. I just put a rubber O ring under to make sure no water gets in.

I also added a HD lip, also from Lowes lol. Pretty easy install, the worst part was jacking my car up on each side to make sure it's secure with self tapping screws.

If you want the clean look, why not get rid of the HD lip, and take off those mud guards? Slammed like that, you're not tossing up mud at anyone!

And you'll have some sexy flowing lines, especially with that baby-bottom smooth rear windshield.

And you'll even show some hint of (hopefully) badass tire tread to frame the rear nicely.

And it costs you nothing.

Hell, some (not me) would go as far as paint match the guards (rear faces of course) and then slapping them back on.

Hahaha baby-bottom smooth made me crack up. I don't know though, I like the HD lip and mudguards. Once I get the wheels on, I will try to avoid camber as well too. We'll see once I get the rubber. 195/45s on some 8.5 inch wide wheels should be a nice stretch and I should be sitting pretty nicely. All that's left to take care of is the dent on the driver side quarter panel, which isn't that bad, and the scrape/dent on the driver side sideskirt (that one is bad lol) I was thinking about buying the whole piece on the driver side if i can and just replacing it. Idk, whichever is cheaper I suppose lol.

Hell yeah man, I was looking online for things I can use to plug it up, when I realized there was a Lowes less than a mile from my house lol. Plus the plug doesn't stick out, which is the best part in my opinion!

Sorry, might have missed it but what are the spring rates for the coilovers you're running now? Thinking about getting some for my sedan

I love the back of my car, the front... not so much

All you basically have to do is take off the plastic cover on your trunk by pulling carefully on the side, it'll just snap off one by one until you get to the other side. Then unplug the motor, it's a white plug you just squeeze on the side then pull off. Then I believe there are four 10mm nuts you have to remove then the motor will just come off. I got the 0 ring from the dollar store lol. It was a box full of different sizes.
