I was actually thinking 6 little rubber plugs, in black. Maybe domed at the top like an allen head bolt, no idea where to get these though. I'll try the red electrical tape but I don't think that will match.
I guess I could get 6 black allen head bolts with rubber washers and secure them underneath with the washers and nuts from the wing. Actually I may do this, sacrifice a few ounces haha.

You can get stuff like that at napa, or maybe fastenal, youd have to play with sizes.

Maybe that with some sort of water barrier (oring or something).
Seems like it could work.

a dab of clear silicone worked for my spoiler delete. Once it's time to pull them back out the dry silicone rubs off with your finger. Easy peasy!
Or, if you can find one that fits tight you wouldn't have to worry about the silicone.

Got the wing fully mounted, along with the brace inside the trunk, plus painted satin black. It's way sturdier than I expected, I can push pretty hard on it even sideways and it doesn't budge. Also got the mega wide side sills installed, it does make egress quite a bit more difficult, I have to pull Emily out of the car now.

Now that the wing is painted black, plus the side sills, I actually like it more than the wingless look. Car looks proper with that wing.

I think now the biggest thing that would make it look better is painting the front splitter black. Maybe I'll get some plastidip and try it this weekend.
Edit: I'm selling the car, so if anyone is seriously interested, PM me for details. No, there is nothing wrong with it, I absolutely love the car, I just found something else I'm interested in. If it doesn't sell in a couple weeks I'll probably race it again this year.

I think it looks great, and I think you might be right about going black on the front splitter.
