Wingless on a TRACK. Uhh I don't know about that. The wing actually helps in brake stability. Maybe wingless on the street is OK but on a track

Wingless on the freeway sucks. Great visibility but the car feels like it's floating at 80mph.

That event is really for beginners...dont worry about braking stability cause you wont be going fast enough to need it..............

Hey Will, what kind of suspension setup did you have on there?

actually, I thought it held quite nicely, i reached speeds over 90, hit 125 on that straight stretch u see in the pic, then had to come down hard to a left at around 90mph, stuck pretty good

Yeah, I noticed it right away but maybe I just need to get used to it. It feels like I'm on water or something like that.

I can't stand the look of the wingless R. It just looks naked or something to me.

Is there really a noticable difference on the freeway or on the track with the wing off? I really don't think the wing makes that big of a difference. Not that I would take mine off....the car looks somewhat odd without it, especially if you have the 'Integra Type R' stickers on.

Nice car btw.

To me it made night and day difference. I don't mind the look but I dislike how it handles on the freeway. Around town it's fine though.

Big time positive is the abillity to see behind me.
