Default Should I go wingless???

Here is the car now:


Here it is wingless and with rear mudflap gone and another 1/2" lower:


Now I already get some camber wear on the fronts, although it may be bad toe. Would another 1/2" be that bad?

Here is a pic with the mentioned changes but no drop over what I have now. Does it look funny like this?

I like Integras, civic coupes/sedans with no wings

so my answer to your question would be yes
wingless.. its up to you if you wanna go lower.. if you do do it right.. get a camber kit then get it aligned

Wingless....but how much do body shops charge to patch and paint? What's a good price?

It can get pretty expensive. The reason is because they'd have to blend the trunk lid to the rest of the car. Spot welding takes a long time and if you rush it, you will warp the sheet metal. Expect to pay 300-1000 dollars.
