hey! where did my wing go???
haha I'm wingless now! Just gotta find some plugs to fit the rest of the holes (only have one plug in the large hole at the moment).

wingless is a trend that will go out sooo fast, and it's pretty much a following that is exclusive to h-t...

The ratio of wingless to wingful
is like 1 to 100.People who claim that everything they dislike is "trendy".

Atleast you're just plugging the holes rather than having them filled and painted. That makes for an easy reinstallment of the spoiler if you ever decide too. Looks good btw, but I still prefer the stock spoiler the best.

on me). Currently the bolt holes I just left open, I plugged the large hole for the wire harness, and the other hole for the plastic guide pin has a small piece of electrical tape over it. I hate doing it that way, but it's all I can do until I can find a proper sized plug.And to those who think it's trendy,
I 
like it, and that's all that matters.

I agree wingless is getting trendy here. I think wings look gay on most cars but I always thought it cleaned up the plain *** on the integra.
Do whatcha like though...your car still looks good. I just wouldn't want to remove a wing, only to have a plain trunk and holes to fill.

Re: hey! where did my wing go??? (DxHatchback)
pics when it had the wing, these are the same ones I posted after getting my digicam awhile back:
About the back of a DC2 being plain, I don't think it is. It's an aesthetic thing, hard to explain really. Without the wing, you are able to see the body lines in the hatch that compliment the lines in the hood. Also you are able to notice the fact that the metal on the rear hatch below the glass is actually sloped down. To me, when looking at say, a rear 3/4 view:
the car looks like it's flowing over the wheels (when it's lowered like mine is). Like I said, kinda hard/wierd to explain (wish I could draw a sketch on a pad to illustrate my thoughts).... but whatever, I love the way it looks.

Re: hey! where did my wing go??? (jDmDxTuRd)
Thanks y0
Yeah I just don't like the idea of doing "non-reversible" mods to my car, ya know? Plus the fact that filling the holes and painting costs quite a bit, and body work is pretty much at the BOTTOM of my priority list right now. Bills first, maintenance or repair items next, performance mods next, appearance last (unless it costs next to nothing). Painting the wheels cost only a can of paint, and removing the wing cost nothing (except cost of plugs) so I don't mind doing those now. Major body work will have to wait, especially since I can't be without my car right now.

Trend? Goes out? How in the hell is it a trend to have NO wing? How can it "go out" ? Wing's are the "add on's" that "go out".
Lord!
