Default Sleeper or not?

I need your opinion... Do you think I should remove my red DOHC Vtec decals or not. I have the badge in the rear removed and I want to go for the full sleeper look. But I like the decals becasue they customise my car, and no one around here has them on an Integra.
Needs to be lowered desperatly:

If you like it, keep it

Now on to the "sleeper" thing. The wing has got to go if you want your car to have any relation to being "sleeper".

I like the ITR spoiler, I'm also saying this due to the fact that I just got mine, I got it from Comptech but it had WINGS WEST decals on it. I'll try to paint it tomorrow.

why does it "need" to be lowered? that would take away the sleeper look right there if it was lowered

AEM is fine but it advertises what you have. The red DOHC VTAK must be removed. It's ugly. It would have looked better if black or silver.

sleeper or not, we like to be in the sport coupe category, not the 4x4 category.

so to be a sport coupe means you need to gradually destroy your undercarriage as you just drive you car around town

how many posts do we see like "awww crap lowered my car and hy header is trashed" or "lowered my car and now my lip is trashed" does anyone ever stop to think that there may have been a reason why honda chose the ride height that they did, if you really need a drop get some ITR springs

i agree, it needs to be dropped but not by much, some 16's or 17's wouldn't hurt either, i just have one question before i tell you if you should keep the stickers, do you have a DOHC tec engine in the car to begin with? just curious, no offense here pal

OT: actually the people who complain about things being trashed, are the ones who should have known better to have their car that low. my car is sitting on h&r race springs and stock shocks..its low as hell but I've seen cars that were lower..

If u want your car to be a sleeper, take off those gsr rims and put on some LS rims. Also put on black moldings on your doors. Otherwise anyone who knows acuras can tell if its a GSR.

uhh okay. I'm dropped ~2". Anything more and it might get to be a prob and any less and it would lose its looks. I have never scraped anything under my car and my lip gets scraped very rarely and never badly. Stock tegs handle pretty poorly and roll too much, lowering helps that a lot (assuming you do it right) and makes the car look a hell of a lot better.

like they said, if you like it, then keep it.........personally i think it looks kinda ricey! take off the stickers, lower your car....and your set! I prefer going wingless...but it also looks good.

<< Wingless GS-R.

Yeah those stickers have kinda a rice appeal to them. IMO lose em. Also get rid of the AEM sticker or "stickers" on your rear windows. After all, you're going for a sleeper look right?
