Default Removing RS body kit?? How to fix holes?

I see a lot of people removing them. Is it ok to leave those holes there? Will it cause issues in the future? If so what's the way to fill them? I need to get my hood painted and could have this stuff painted too if if needed to be done.

I'm only taking it off cause it looks weird with anything besides the flat hood on my z28 and I'm putting a cowl on t. Think there will be too much going on.

it wont cause any issues on the plastic parts that the skirts are mounted to.

Cant remember if the lower rocker panel is metal or not, and if there are any mount holes on the rear quarter panel. If those are metal they might eventually rust.

Most of the holes would likely be filled and smoothed with some sort of plastic repair, not sure about the metal secitons. probably a pretty expensive job to fill that many holes

I had a 98 z28/rs with the ground affect package and taller wing. I to was looking at removing the kit before selling the car.
1. You have holes on both front and rear fascia
2. On your rockers you will have holes that I would get covered to avoid moisture.
3. When removing the sides of the rear wing you will have 2 or 3 (don't recall how many) nickel to quarter sized holes on both your quarter panels.

Hope this helps!

Thank you, that's good to know. Sounds like I might be leaving it to save the money and rather put money into going faster than this..
