Going wingless and wanted to know how to get the wing off. Took off the nuts on the bolts and it won't budge. Not that knowledgeable about this and yes I did search. Help please.

 

Theres adhesive also holding it on, and its strong; but in case no one steps in, I think removing the wing on an R is retarded.

 

You'll need to cut through the adhesive by using something like dental floss, or something stronger, such as fishing line.

Yeah wingless definitely is not favored by myself....but to each his own

Be sure to add heat to the process as well as some goo gone, some floss or fishing line and you'll be golden!

 

yea i was gonna say i thought there was some adhesive holding it on. But do what those guys said and you should be ok.

why are u taking it off ne way? it looks so much better, in my opinion, with it on? Too much attention?

 

I like the look of it from all the pictures I've seen, but I want to see it in person. If I don't like it I can always put it back on. I would like to say because of too much attention but my friend drives a '00 PY R w/ JDM front, CF hood and lip, and spoon rims, so he's probably drawing a little more attention than my car. I've had the car for more than a year and haven't had any money to do anything to it cosmetically (besides Recaros) so i figure I can just take off the wing and it will be like looking at a different car for a while. But I do love it with the wing too.

 

o sweet, well good luck with it. Get some money and have some fun with it though!

 

totsie7944, just a question, what kind of hp are you seeing with your mods. Just curious because your setup is similar to what I want to do.(when I actually have $$$)

Trade it for a GS-R.

 

The wing is so hard to get off because it belongs there

However, as stated all you have to do now is get that double sticky **** off now.

definitely agree

 

If I don't like it, i can always put it back on. Who knows, I might be saying it is retarded to in a couple of days.

 

its been a while, and i also take wings off of cars at work, toyotas and ****. but there might be a clip there too.

who jacks their own thread?

 

There is no clip.

Just the bolts and double sided adhesive. Becareful not to dent the trunk lid.

Second that.

Removed mine to find a nice dent care of a body shop I used a year earlier.

And, ignore the purists. You can put it back on any time you want, and it will always be easy to remove or replace from then on (assuming you don't replace the adhesive gaskets - just cut your own from sheet rubber instead).

Removing mine made a BIG difference in the amount of attention the R attracted - Civics and Crown Vic's.

Mmmmmm.... I've been thinking about removing too... but then I start looking at Mugen wings for some real downforce...

Maybe I'll try removing it for the winter.

 

I personally prefer having a wing on my hatch to 4 1/4-inch holes.

 

Easily plugged.

Do a search for the part number of the stock Honda rubber grommet.

Fits perfect, and I don't mind the way it looks, even unpainted on a CW car. Much better than the hacked-up, painted carriage bolts I used previously.

 

what grommet? could you show me pics?

 

what grommet? could I see pics?

They're not grommets, they're plugs.

Civic (92-95) plugs from the shock towers where a strut brace would mount (if it came with one)... worked just fine for me. The Honda part number is 91601-SR3-000

 

Thanks. Been busy with school, so hopefully I will get the wing off on friday.

 

Be sure to post pictures.

 

I don't have a camera, but I'll see if i can find one. I also need some time to clean up the ride. Daily driving + rain for keeping a clean car. But I'll see what I can do.
