Default Need opinions: Winged or Wingless?

If you had asked me this same question 4 months ago, I would have said "Your crazy for asking. It's gotta have the 'Type R' rear spoiler. Period." But having worked on and around the car (without a spoiler) for so long, Im almost begining to think it looks cleaner and sleeker without one. Sooooooo....

I need the whole Honda-Tech crew to tell me if I should leave the 'R' spoiler off, or put it back on.

I prefer the look with the spoiler as well. While you're at it, you should get the two side grills on the front bumper painted black. It looks kinda weird with everything being painted yellow. Car looks great though!

The wheels are SSR Competetition(s).

I probably won't paint the side grilles on this bumper cover as it will just be cut further to accomodate some 26" slicks and other things for race days. I do have another cover which I taped off before painting for street/daily use though.

I think the car is on the lift right now, so as soon as he presses the button, it should be dropped.

Well since it looks like you've already filled the spoiler holes, leave it wingless. Also you must paint the front bumper the right way, and put the lip on. Those were the first things I noticed (and I know I'm not the only one).
