I haven't seen a nismo spolierinstalled but the knock off s tune should cover it up. Seibonhas kit in carbon fiber also.

Okay -- that's the kind of info I was looking for! I don't care if thre are extra holes in the hatch if they aren't exposed. I might even be able to jam a rubber plug in there to prevent water leaking in.
Also, in this thread
http://www.the370z.com/nissan-370z-g...t-coupe-2.html it was mentioned that there's some sort of base for the OEM Nismo spoiler (I prefer the S-tune, but I like the Nismo one too), and that this base might cover the sport pack spoiler holes
However -- this user only has a few posts, and no updates since then
Do you know if anyone on here has installed the S-tune and found that the holes were completely covered. I couldn't find a thread on it
Or is it only the knock-off S-tune that will completely cover it? If so, is there a FRP knock off?
Hell, even 99% covered would probably be fine unless you were looking right up under it...
EDIT#1:
More confusion -- Stillen rep claims the Nismo spoiler base completely covers the sport pack wing holes
New Seibon CF Spoiler...
And this post claims the S-tune will definitely leave some holes exposed
NISMO 370Z S-Tune Aero Parts available @ Z1 Motorsports
Okay... so, I'm not insane... it isn't clear and there is conflicting info on all of this.
What's the real deal -- not worried about drilling new holes -- but which wings (if any?) cover the factory holes???
Also, how much are the old holes left exposed? Also, anyone thought about developing some paint matched plugs? I've seen these used when rear wiper assemblies have been removed, for example, and they work pretty well.
EDIT#2:
Looking at the S-tune it will definitely leave two holes exposed -- the ones on either side of the rear brake light. However, two plugs if paint matched
could work...
On the OEM Nismo (or a knock-off) I think it should completely cover all the holes, although new ones may need to be drilled, and a few may need to be plugged to prevent leaking, the old holes should
not be exposed.
Can anyone confirm all of this?
