So last night I decided that I did not like the big rice wing on the back of my new ride so I took it off. One of the bolts i had to drill out because the previous owner decided to use crappy bolt that were excessively rusty. I forgot to take pics as I went along so here is how I bought it...

And here is how it looks tonight after I sanded filed and bondo'd the holes. I made one mistake, I should have put tape or something on the other side of the hole when I filled them with bondo.
Here it is right now...

Tomorrow I will sand it down and prime/seal it. Getting it ready for some paint!

The world is a better place without that wing on your car!
lol

Its sad to see idiots out there have done these sort of things to perfectly good hondas in the first place. Good job on taking it off.

Mad Dog Tannen

So today I took this thing...

And I did this...

But I did not put enough bondo on the first time so I used this...

To do this...

And I am bored waiting for it to dry so I am writing this.

What was wrong with the badge? And where did you end up putting that huge waste of plastic or ricers dream? lol

lazlong

I swear it looks like they put it on backwards. lol

Its good to see you go that wing off your em1 finally looks alot better now lol. And ya what was wrong with the h symbol.

Mad Dog Tannen

I am putting it on my CBR. lol

Everyone in the world knows it's a Honda. I like the de-badged look. Simple is beautiful in my opinion.

Any way here is my



I'll put up the finished product when I get the plate blurred.

What is that white car? It may be the camera angle but, it looks like it needs a rear camber kit.

"Simple is beautiful in my opinion."
I've always thought the same thing. Does that mean your not gonna put a nice spoiler on it?

Look! 2-24 packs of Mt. Dew for $10. lol

I admire your attention to detail. I had to freakin search for the Mt. Dew like a GD where's waldo book.. haha

Mad Dog Tannen

That other car is a twin turbo stealth. And it is the camera angle, it does look a little weird in that pic.

I don't like spending money on stuff just for looks so no more spoiler.

I stand corrected

Mad Dog Tannen

Lol I almost forgot to finish up this thread. I will try and post finished product up today.

Looks good without that monstrosity on the trunk. I feel the same about Civics. I like them clean and simple. I've always thought that EBP color was gorgeous. The best out of the 3 for the EM1s.

Good luck with the sanding

Nosepicker

Can't wait to see finished parts.

Mad Dog Tannen

Here it is. This is how it will stay until I get a new front and rear bumper...

Mad Dog Tannen

I also fixed my other Honda!

MelJ

Where do you plan on getting your bumpers? I need to get a front and rear myself.

02civicsi02

Nice work man cant wait to see the final result when its done. I actually think the em1s look better without spoilers. The cbr looks damn good as well.

Mad Dog Tannen

I am not sure. I am getting a full body kit, becuase they seem to be cheaper than getting stock plastic bumpers. I am trying to find one that doesn't make the car look like a spaceship. I like bodykits.com and bodykitsusa.com selection. They have a couple subtle kits. I think I will get fiberglass because it is a lot cheaper and can be repaired. But I am still looking around, there are a lot of sites out there.

Mr.VTEC

How the hell did you see that Mt dew? lol and I de-baged my civic the other day...Took off the "EX" and "Civic" badges. I left the "H" symbol on because of the holes.

02civicsi02

Lol I just caught that. It took me like 20 mins just to find it.

MelJ

Honda OEM stuff is so expensive. I found an immaculate black OEM mirror at a junkyard for 60 bucks. Honda's price....$250.
