Default Rear wing removal

Hey

I have a GC8 model wrx and i am planing to remove the spoiler and i was wondering whats the best way to plug the holes. All i can think of is plugs from a performance shop or getting the boot resprayed. Dose anyone know how good the plugs would ceal the holes? And where to get them?

Thanks

Do you know what size the holes are in the boot?
Isnt it ilegal to take the spoiler off because it has a break light. Dose that sound right?

I've got the parcel shelf light from my 98 Liberty cos I put a rear wiper in its place, should bolt straight in if the mounts are the same $35. PM me if interested but you should be able to velcro the led's in there, possibly up the top like the hatch ones, they are led from memory.
