for those of you that have removed your OEM type R wing, what did you use to plug the holes? I would like to take it off for the winter.
Thanks!

 

You can leave them exposed since water will drain from that area and will not enter the inside. You could try to find some rubber plugs also. Measure the hole and hit up home depot..

 

white duct tape for me! haha

 

tried that already... HDepot has no plugs that small

 

find a 92-95 civic hatchcrap....there are plugs in the holes for a front strut tower bar, and they work perfectly to plug the wing holes. if you neighbor has a hatchcrap, ask to see the engine and rip that bad boys off real quick

only problem is, if you have a turquiose hatchback like I do, the plugs are painted that color. so i have nice turquiose plugs on my PY R I suppose I could paint them, but im lazy.

 

Could it be one of these?

I haven't plugged my holes

You could get a few small scraps of vinyl from a sign shop to cover them up. They usually give scraps away for free.

Do a search on this topic (Not because I'm trying to be a Dick) but, because I have posted the stock item number for the Civic plugs at least 5 times before. I have the plugs on my R to fill the holes and they fit perfectly and look fine with a black R.

I will post the stock number when I get home just in case you don't find it but, take a look in the meantime, I won't get home till around midnight EST.

Good luck,

You've got the right idea Brian but, that doesn't show you the stock number from which to order.

As I said, unless he finds the number or someone else posts it, I will later when I get home.

Or the same thing with the Integras that don't have the strut bar... just take the four little plastic plugs where the strut bar sits off them.... I took them off my friend's LS when he took my strut bar off my GSR, but have not yet put them on yet....

thanks...

 

For the wing I just headed to ACE and picked up a bunch of different sizes of little plugs and used what fitted. Here is what they looked like.

 

 

I want to go wingless now.

 

alright - now I know where to go

 

i used a yellow decal...sticker!

 

Take the wing off.....then try going over 100mph, Tell me how it felt. Looks better without the wing, but it does have a purpose.

 

I did,

and I have,

Didn't notice anything horrible.

It does serve a purpose and thats precisely why I put it back on for the track.

But, you aren't gonna gain some amazing Jedi force that makes the car stick to the road like an electromagnet,,, And sans the wing, the car is not uncontrollable or unbalanced especially for daily stuff on public roads. The track is different story.

Take it off,,, You can always put it back on... I like the look without it somtimes, then other times I like it on,,, But, it's nice to actually be able to see out of the rearview mirror with it off.

I just checked those threads and they only mention the plug for the rear wiper. I'll just have to go check out the plugs for the STB on the civic hatches.

 

tthose will work dennis. pretty sure.

 

all this talk about pluggin holes....makes me wonder if im on h-t or wandered off to a wrong site

 

Feels looser definately....but going 100mph on the street is dumb as **** for a guy with my rap sheet, so wingless/slow lane owns.

 

As promised:

91601-SR3-000


Good luck,


A.
