I recently purchased a 1998 SSB Integra GSR from a guy in northern VA. I wasn't looking for hooked up Integra, but this one was too good of a deal to pass up. However, I am confused as to what I should do with the rear lip spoiler. Half of me likes it, and the other half wants to put the original spoiler back on (which I luckily have). Since this came with the car and needs to be repainted, I have thought about cutting it up a bit and molding in the led light from the original. I don't want to appear too ricey with this, for the color is already bright enough. What should I do???

It looks clean, I actually like the spoiler. But either way it should be fine. That's a nice white brick house behind you car. How much are house going over there ?

 

Hum, I've never seen that spolier before. I like it. Must be an Eastcoast thing. The question(s) I would consider is, what weights more, and aerodynamics - of course neither will help w/ aerodynamic anyway. I guess I'd say save the money for putting it back to stock and put that dough into your engine. As for the rest of your car =

 

that is a ground designs blackwidow spoiler

looks different

 

personally, id take all of it off...side skirts, rear wing...but leave the front lip. get oem sideskirts, leave 'em black...go with the no spolier look, it looks tough.

 

It's strange someone with a 98 GSR (I'm refering to the previous owner now) would get 95 GSR wheels, and 94-97 taillights. Anyway...I say get rid of the spoiler and go wingless or stock.

 

I am confused about this. Shouldn't the OEM spoiler be SSB? I am normally pretty picky about spoilers, but I can live with that one.

 

I bought the car used, so all of that crap was on it when I bought it. I am not a big fan of the side skirts, and I would rather have oem for those as well. The car originally had rims on it, but were sold and traded with someone for the 94-95 rims that are on it now. In addition, the car apparently had altezza tailights (arrrgghhh!!!), but were traded as well for older lights. I can't complain, for the price was right.

Since someone had to rag on my tailights, I figured it was time to go ahead and remedy that problem. I painted them tonight with the transparent candy apple red with additional clearcoat after that. I think they have turned out pretty well so far. I sanded between layers, so it looks pretty good for only being a $6 upgrade. Maybe I will post pics with them installed to save face.
