Just thinking of removing/doing a few things on my car that I'm not fond of, or are just asking for your opinions on whether they should stay..

1. Removing the plastic piece in front of the sunroof
2. Removing the front mudguards (none on back)
3. Removing the stock spoiler (just like the looks of some without them, plus there's some oxidation on one corner, plus a little weight reduction)
4. Painting the "DOHC" on the black side-trim, on both front fenders, white
5. Shaving my "GS" emblem even though there might be holes remaining (emblem's silver lining inside of letters fell out from the "G")
6. Removing the "Integra" sticker on back, below trunk

I'm considering any of these, and would greatly appreciate all of your opinions! Thanks.

they soud like good mods that will make your car cleaner. I say go for it.

 

I say do #1 and #2. Don't know about the rest.

 

Just be sure to give it a good coat of glaze/ sealer and wax. It is a lot of work, but worth it in the end.

 

Yeah I will do number 1 and 2 tomorrow. Number 4 was a suggestion from a friend that I've been thinking about. I think I'll keep the spoiler (Number 3), and I still haven't decided about removing emblems (#5/6). Thanks guys, keep em comin.

 

Sounds good, it will for sure look cleaner. Taking of the integra sticker is time invested. The sticker itself isn't too hard but the adhesive is a good hour to get off. You need a hair dryer, some bug and tar remover, cloths and much PATIENCE. But it looks a lot better without the sticker.

 

remove the pin stripe if you havent already , it will make i look cleaner too.

 

I took off the mudguards, sunroof visor/bugshield thing, and also my front license plate, which makes the front look ALOT better. My car looks better now, I just need to take a day and get it really clean. I think I'll invest in some Mother's wax or the entire 3-step job.

Yeah I think I'll take a day and get that off, and just leave the Acura and GS emblems because I don't want holes there.

My friend told me to do that. It's mostly coming off anyways so I wanna get it all off. How do you go about taking it off?

 

I also recently...

1. Re-painted black trim on corners of windshield
2. Painted "DOHC" white (on black trim)
3. Removed "Integra" sticker

These free/inexpensive mods made my car even cleaner The DOHC painted white stands out and looks bad ass.

Now for the pinstripe...I've heard that you can remove it like the Integra sticker if there is not clear coat overtop. Does anyone know if it is or not on 2nd gens? Or has anyone removed their pinstripe before without any problems? Thanks.
