I'd personally go for the ultra clean wingless look while ripping off the wing from the trunk lid go ahead and shave the emblems . The only wing I have ever liked on the Gen 2 is an older AMS three peice wing I believed wings west and erebuni both have made this wing. try and find a picture of Ron Bergenholtz's super clean 91 teg. his car had the AMS 3 peice wing.

good luck

I think gen 2 integras look terrible without a wing.

Uggg...a G2 integra without a 'spoiler' (not a wing, big difference) looks awful - just take a look at the LS model and you get the idea. I'm thinking of taking the factory spoiler off and replacing it with a more functional, custom spoiler for racing. Was thinking of adding a racing wing to it, but Auto-X speeds aren't fast enough to make a wing really functional. I don't know what all the availbe styles for the G2 integra are for spoilers, but if it doesn't look like you can use it as a bookshelf then it would look ok on an integra.

I think the later (G2/G3) tegs look unfinished without a wing... Keep it.

Wing.. spoiler... same difference.
no..two different methods of creating downforce. If you want to go fast, you want a wing, not a spoiler. If you want maximum low-medium speed grip besides tires and don't care about high speed you would go with a spoiler.

Simple explainations:

Spoiler - turbulent air flow device which creates downforce mainly through drag (good for low-medium speed range [up to 60-70 mph])...will significantly limit top end speed due to drag.

Wing - laminar air flow device designed mainly for high speed downforce through negative lift while trying to produce as little drag as possible.
