Attach R1/R2 wing without drilling?
 
I've never done any body work before, and I was wondering if there's some type of adhesive that I can use to mount an R1/R2 wing. I've got a base FD, and I'd like to keep the trunk hatch intact if I could.

Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure you have to drill. Don't think double side tape or other adhesives will hold it on at high speeds, but not positive.

If I did have to drill, can the holes ever be filled back in? Or would I have to just buy a new hatch if I decided to go wingless? Sorry about the noob questions, I know absolutely nothing about body work, and the searches i performed didn't yield any answers.

Holes
 
You don't have to replace the back hatch. Any good body shop can patch the holes and repaint to match. I just had my car repainted. I had them remove the wing and fill and paint where the holes were in the back hatch. You can't tell there were ever any wholes there. Hope that helps.

Great advice, guys. Thanks!
