How did you plug the holes? What's a good way to cover up the holes without goin to the Body shop and filling the holes and re-painting them?

I decided to go Wingless now, but the holes are just nasty. Give me some good advice.







I posted this in the Integra forum too, but I figured Type-R owners would have gone wingless more than other Integra owners, since ITR's come with Spoilers from the factory.

If you know any good tips or advices, let me know. Thanks.

 

I got some plastic plugs from the local body shop, had them sprayed to match my paint, then used silicone sealant/adhesive to secure them. It looked very clean, and was basically the next best thing to having the holes permanently shaved.

 

Whats that a GSR with wing? Had the light up wing and those are the holes for the wires right?

The R wing only has 2 holes on each side and I just plugged them with plastic caps from Honda, The stock number escapes me now I can find it later.

I have since reinstalled the wing though

 

for all you itr's who went wingless, if you want to sell your wing let me know.
btw i used black duck tape when i went wingless (yeah i know its ghetto, but my car is black)

 

Solution: Put the wing back on! Wingless is ghey, the wing on an R is functional, it actually reduces lift under high speed braking and lane changes.

Well, technically it reduces lift during high-speed anything.

 

would you consider reducing lift to be the same thing as downforce?

 

I just used white electrical tape and covered it up.

 

i used white duct tape on my car.. but man, i left it on for a looooooooong time. had to use some 3m adhesive remover on that.

I don't believe the ITR wing contributes any positive downforce. As stated, it simply reduces the amount of lift being generated.

The holes from the ITR wing do not enter the cabin, so there would be no leaking even if they were left uncovered.

 

Found the number of the plugs

Honda stock # 91601-SR3-000

Do what you want, it's your car.

I had mine off for over a year but reinstalled it once I started to frequent tracks.


And you can feel more stability with the ITR wing on, You can especially feel it when braking from high speeds. But, as stated I doubt it creates major downforce.


Good luck,

Go to ACE Hardware and in the hardware aisle they have all sorts of plugs. I just found some cheap ones, and picked up a bunch in different sizes.

I dont have any pics of the plugs themselves, but here they are installed.

 

I got the oem plugs. They are great. You can find them on 92-95 civics where the holes are for the strut tower bar and 94-01 integra ls/gs etc where the strut tower bar is supposed to be.

4 plugs for the small one? I might buy it from you... lmk-

 

$10 is a pretty good price. Buy from Sean, great guy

 

Ok. I went to Lowes and looked for the plugs. They didn't have any. So I went to Walmart to buy some White tape, to match my car.

I got me some heavy duty sticky "Waterproof" tape in White and put a piece on it. Here's what it looks like now:









Doesn't look too bad huh? I'll probly leave it until later when I decide to shave my side moldings along with the holes on the trunk...

 

Put the tape from the other side. So, that the adhesive won't ruin your paint after being under the weather.

 

looks real good

 

Just get plugs and paint them white. I think it wouuld look cleaner. Tape is kinda ghetto.

 

I have PY with black plugs. Black wingless cars look better because the plugs are black.

 

screw it. I'm gonna goto a Body Shop and get it done.
