Will MS Wing fit where factory wing holes are?

Hi guys, I'm getting ready to get a MS wing and I was wondering if the MS wing will fit where my factory wing holes are or will I have to have those holes filled in and new ones drilled?

Thanks

The MS Wing using TWO of the pre-drilled holes from the factory wing. There is one whole that is not used but is covered up with the MS Wing. I would suggest using something to plug the whole or cover it up (maybe just heavy duty 3M tape) to prevent water from leaking through the hole into the trunk lid cavity.

another tip...
check if there are any rust protection/paint on those pre drilled holes. if not, clean it and use nail polish/touch up paint, so it wont go rust on you later on.....

Yeah, right, search engines are really hard to use. I think what you should have said is that most people are too lazy to do a search properly.

isnt the hood, trunk and 'half doors' all made of aluminium......or is that the new mx5, yeah i guess its the new mx5 that has the aluminium hood and trunk....never mind.

I would paint over the metal, then put tape on the back and front side.
