I'm voting yes so more second hand OEM wings become available for my FK7. ?

Most hardware stores carry rubber and/or plastic grommet plugs in various sizes. I’m sure with plugs and some touch up paint won’t look too bad.
I likely wouldn't paint rubber parts like that. Just some rubber white stoppers/plugs should be enough to cover up the holes and stop most liquid ingress.
The stickers I have are still the originals. Holding up great. No issues or complaints from my end. Happy as is. Water tight.

The rubber plug idea is so-so on round holes, which I had on my 2006 TSX when that wing was also removed. Never truly water tight. Needs caulking of some sort. There's also oval holes on the CTR.

Whatever makes you happy... Enjoy it!

I bought recently 2019 FK8 black pearl and would like to follow your path to remove the wing and cover the holes. Are the stickers you used cut out of vinyl tape or is it some special material?

Thanks for sharing this, Jon.
Need to find something locally in EU, as shipment these to Poland costs $57,50 :)
