YES dont do it........They look *~delightful!~*. We have had this discussion many times and i believe if you cant afford to do it right then dont do it at all.
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

your looking at around the $500 mark. I took my spoiler off before but, i agree with everyone else and that is, it looks ungly if you dont fill in the holes and get a respray. What i would do though is just get a new bootlid without the spoiler holes, that way if you are after a change in the future you can just change the bootlid.
