What to do to cover holes on STi trunk without wing

What can I do to cover up the holes temporarily. I'm using painters tape I went over with a sharpie for right now..is there anything that would work better? This is just temporary until I get my trunk..

body shops have little sticky dots that are foamish in different sizes. theyre like the things you put under chair legs.
thats what i used, just looks cleaner than blue tape, but blue tape with a more water resistant tape over will work just as good.

OR, you can mount the wing back on and trade with someone without a wing.......but then again, you're looking for a temporary fix

Blue tape? I don't think that looks too shabby, correct?
I'm curious to see how the dots from the body shop look like. I wouldn't mind removing my STi wing either, if the dots don't look too bad.

the dots are nice. i didnt get them, they came on my car but the previous owner said he just went to a bodyshop and they had them. black of course.

dont know how to explain them. super-fine foam almost rubber like but still soft and squishy, like 2mm tall oval shaped, they looked nice. i have my wing on now tho.

Thats my plan..I just don't want the STi wing on at all, it attracts way too much attention.

I lucked out with a trunk swap but I was looking at these for a second. You could plug up the holes, seal them water tight, and prob. make them flush to the trunk. In short, a win win!
