After doing some comparing, I've found that I LOVE the way the 6GC looks spoilerless (this is on a hatch BTW).

So, later today I'm doing a spoiler delete, and if I've got time I'm going to try to tackle the door bump stops, the door ding bumpers, and the pinstripe. I'd be doing it now but I just got done washing/waxing and am supposed to go help a buddy start tearing down his 94 Trans Am motor.

I just snapped a couple of before pics, after pics will follow and I'll post both at once.

I got kinda lucky today. I managed to clean up the driver side goo that was left over, and found a nice way to seal the holes while I debate whether or not I want to have it welded/bondo'd and painted or not. I used a couple of GM interior panel retainers I had laying around that snap fit in the hole really nicely, and once in I used a small rubber O-ring to provide some upward force and form a seal so water can't penetrate. There's actually about 1/16-1/8" room between the retainer and hatch surface but the O-ring is stuck in there nice and tight. Doesn't look halfway bad either.

I am having trouble trying to figure out what to do with the rear guide tab hole though. I can't find a retainer with a shaft thickness wide enough to snap into that hole. I don't want to get ghetto fabulous with some tape, but I may have to.

What do you guys and gals think?? How did you seal your holes before having it permanatly sealed?
