Hi guys I'm putting an OEM type R wing onto my gsr and would like to know if I have to pick anything up from the dealership to install it correctly. Will I just be reusing the same screws from my gsr spoiler? Thanks for your help!

If its a new wing everything should come with it.... double sided tape, and 4 ten mm nuts.

no I bought it off of jdm frontin a while ago and just got around to painting it. Thanks, I'll head to the dealership now and get what you mentioned from them.

Don't GS-R's have an extra hole for the brake light wiring? Not sure if that will show after install or not.

yeah theres going to be a visible whole, im going to home depot to buy a plug for it.

get RIGHT

Get the double sided tape from your Acura dealer. If you dont use it you will get paint damage on your decklid when you torque the wing down.

poppypizza

did u get those plugs? how does it look? any pictures?

Yup, I really wish the previous owner of my GSR would have used some when they mounted the horrible whale tail wing on there . Oh well, trunk will be fixed soon enough.

i have the same dilemma. anybody?

FearDisH22a4

theres actually going to be 2 holes visible. go to home depot and get some nylon plugs. 7/8 for the passenger side hole and 7/16 for the driver side hole. you also might want to use a little bit of clear silicone on the outer edges of the plugs to keep water from getting in the holes. this is the info i found while researching on team integra. ima be replacing my wing soon also.

SPOOLINmatt

i wouldn't do it if there was going to be holes visible...plugs or not

suzawa94

thanks for the info. i just seen that thread on ti also. i picked up those plugs and some other things that look like they might work...

zachv365

I'm glad I came across this thread, I just took my gsr wing off and am about to replace it with a type r wing also. I will have to have my paint guy shave those holes cuz I had no idea. Speaking of, GSR stock black spoiler fs or trade for type r wing plus cash.

good info.

How hard is it to fill in the visible holes? I'm assuming it'd involve welding a new piece of metal in? Anyone try this?

tbsol

I welded in the holes on my GSR hatch..
There is one big hole from GSR spoiler light wiring (~1") and a smaller one for one of the mounts (~3/8") if I remember correctly. Welded in a patch to fill the holes..
IMO weld them over just putting plugs in... it looks a lot cleaner and you don't have to worry about rusting etc.




Also, don't forget that you also loose your 3rd brake light. You might want to pick one up from a RS or something....

mrdeadman

If you get the ITR replica from spoilerdepot, the holes are covered...

BoltonGSR

I took off my stock spoiler and just put electric tape over the holes haha. Works fine, no leaks...

civicdreamin

Kinda sucs for you guys a little that have the oem gsr spoiler.. i bought my db8 wingless and slapped a type r wing on perfect.. honda even had the spots to drill under the trunk..

^ Yeah Im debating on whether or not I should weld these holes or buy a new wingless hatch to install the ITR wing

purplevtec2000

my wings west replica type r wing with third brake light in it covered the holes.

I dont like the replica's.

Does the OEM ITR wing use the same holes as the GSR holes? Obviously some of the holes will be left uncovered, but do I have to drill any new holes for the oem ITR wing?

tbsol

Yeah it uses the same bolt holes.. the GSR just has a few extra's.
You don't have to drill any holes to mount an OEM ITR spoiler onto a GSR hatch.

Just use colored vinyl to cover the holes

ivan93egreppin210

will the oem type r wing bolt up to ls trunk holes?

I just wanted to know what your doing with your stock wing and what year yours is?
