Hi,
I'm just abit bored and wondering if anyone's taken the wing off a DC2R ?
I personally think it might look good without the wing .. maybe abit sleeker and look abit lower at the back. anyone got any opinions ?
Does anyone know if it's easy to take off ... can you just unscrew it and put some plugs in to fill the hole or is it glued on? I wouldn't want to weld the holes as I would want to put it back on later if I ever sell it as it is a typeR thing.
i dunno about type r in particular but u should be able to just unscrew it from inside the boot and measure the holes then buy rubber plugs from bunnings. i think it looks better and plenty of people have done it but its a matter of opinion of course..
type-r wings are easy to take off. they are jus the same as taking vti-r wings off. open the bootlid and take the back plastic panel off and unscrew the nuts. you can buy the rubbers to fit in the holes at autobarn. its like $4 for 4.
hope this helps
Will look like this... http://www.jdmyard.com/jdmyard_2006/...t/badhbt09.jpg <<< Which doesnt look to bad..
But i prefer with the spoiler has it give it the type R look... without the spoiler looks like the base model integra..
Its a personal opinion anyways...
fantastic :)
I might have a go today ... will get some plugs as well :)
thanks for the help. I love this forum :)
I think that orange thing looks awesome without a wing
The wing is really easy to take off.
The four nuts on the inside are 9 or 10mm.
The plugs that you need are called Blanking Grommets.
You can get them from Clark rubber or Supercheap for around $4 for 4 (as xcon says).
The size you need is 3/8"
I prefer the wingless look :)
i too prefer the wingless look :)
also note that once unsrewing the 4 bolts there is a double sided tape on the underside of where the screws used to be.
it is very sticky, so take my advice and grab a 2nd pair of hands to 'yank' the wing off ;)
The wing serves a purpose, so you gotta think if you want the look or you want the down force..........depends on what you do with your car. I reckon it looks better with it on.
if it's that easy and cheap, I don't mind to have a go.
I drive in traffic most of the time anyway ... hhmmm...
wingless ftw. i cant see anything with mine. everytime i want to check the back i hav to duck a bit lol
wingless will suit you then!Quote:

LOL :) have to duck! that's funny ... but yes it gets in the way just a little.
and I think it looks a little more grown up rather than the boy racer look.
imo, the wing gives dc2r character :)
only take off the wing if ur car is slammed to the floor :D
my vti-r is stock without a wing, no holes or modification, i think its pretty rare, iv never seen another vti-r without a wing, i may get a wing eventually, i think it looks good with juss ITR side skirts and front lip with no wing, although im still not sure if i eventually want to get ITR wing or not =/
jdm_kid said it!
only take off the wing if ur car is lowered! if it is stock height, forget about it! at stock height (or even lowered) it is what makes it look like an ITR. plus it serves a purpose at high speed cornering... its not just a rice mod from factory :p
