Wing and badge removal and holes filled
 
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!

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.

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

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.

Looks good without that monstrosity on the trunk:roflmao::roflmao:. 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.

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.

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