Do whatever you want.

I stripped mine off as well as the red "A" badges and the wing.


Just FYI though, if the car is yellow it won't make a sh*t of a difference with or without badging.

What color is it?

If it's PY than taking the stickers off won't help at all!

I would only take it off if you have a black type r. Any other color is worthless.

If you're worried about theft you'll have to do a little more than take off the stickers. 5 bolt lug pattern, gunmetal wheels, and all that red stitched interior in the car with Type-R plaque screams violate me, I'm a Type-R! Anyway, Integras are still one of the most stolen cars. Unless you can turn it into another car, whatever you do won't have much effect. Or maybe you could exchange the Type-R decals to APC decals? Then any criminal would get so sick that he wouldn't be able to steal it?

It doesn't matter if you have the stickers on or off.....just tonight I was at my gf's house and the stunna's next door with their 89 civic hatchbacks and rs integras said that my Type R wasn't real and my car is totally stock with stickers and all....so the point is..do watcha like, but it makes no difference.

I took mine off because I feel it gives the car a sleeker overall look. I'm not trying to fool anyone, It's PY so it can't really be disguised. I just like the overall appearence without any decals. I still get swamped by the local rice boys asking if it's a real R whether the stickers are on or off, I just tell em, no, it's fake. Dumb asses

Taking off the decals will not make your car any less appealing to the theives. I say just leave it, it's a part of the car, and face it, if the theives really want it, then they're gonna get it. I've had my ITR for a year and half now, and i never took off my decals, and it hasnt been stolen yet. Just get an alarm, compustar if possible.

The real theives will always know what kind of car it is. The petty and ricer ways may not know any better. You can't get away with everything.
