Depends how it was installed. How is it molded? Just bondo over the seams? Or is there sheet metal screws with bondo over them? Youd probably be better off selling the car and buying a stock integra, unless your down to put forth the huge effort its gonna take to reverse that "bad decision"

ouch for the molded job, and also ouch for tall the oil stains on the ground haha.

Fixing it would cost some $$$ seriously.

like what psychoteen101 said, sell it and get another teggy

First of all I think that integra looks cool. And it wasn't a mistake to put the body kit on. Because some people like that and some don't. So for the people who like it, then it wasn't a mistake. Anyways, if it's your car and you did that to it, you should know how it was assembled. Then just go straight for it. but if not, then it's going to take some serious effort to get it un done. I would agree with everyone above. Some one will probably pay for the whole thing as is, and then you can turn around and start with a car that's more like what your looking for.

Its water I had just got done washing it.

But it ons with bondo and fiberglass covering the seems. The old body line is still there underneath I found it today. ( By body line I mean where the fender and quarters meet the kit)
And thanks Eyger for the compliment man, I like the look of it just wanting something different if its not gonna dent my bank to much

lol, if you want something different, buy a new car, cause changing that back to OEM looks, would definately break your bank, probably your back too with all the work youll have to do.

I like the way you think, dont ditch the teg man, keep it and put it some elbow grease to get it the way you want, realisticly you could just get a pair of new fenders and a different bumper for the front. Now for the rear would be a little more work, i say just bear down and work on that "mistake"
