**UPDATES AGAIN**

SO yesterday while i was off... since i cant ever go a day with just relaxing... ii decided to do a couple things... I cleaned my IACV... just as preventative maintenance... and sometimes my idle would drop pretty low when my car was well warmed up.... second... i was going to attempt to take off my spoiler to see if i liked it off... sure enought the first nut i went to take off snapped... old and brittle like a slitine cracker lol... and then another snapped on the other side.... fail... so i had no choisce at that point other than to delete the spoiler. I had to also run to Lowes to find plugs for the holes... they didnt have my sizes in white... so i had to get black temporarily... not sure if i like the wingless look yet... i think ill like it more if its lower.

before IACV cleaned...

After:

Wing removed:

And here are a few after plugging the holes.... WHere the spoiler sat was in BAAAD shape... it took lots of cleaning... buffing.... and waxing to make it look even nearly decent... pics are "meh"... ill be honest.. it looked WAY worse before i cleaned and buffed it.

^^ the trunk lid looks much better now than in the pics too... i buffed and waxed even more after this... and got most of the excess rubber cememt glue off that i used to seal the 2 holes going into the trunk itself.

So where you at now then? I actually used to live right across Althoff right off west main... the only problem i had was when someone broke into my car and barely stole anything. bunch of burned cds and thats about it.
but thats bc i was hanging out with this guys gf, then she dumped him and his buddy thought they should hurt me some how. He ended up getting pickued up for other stuff and got 7 years. he had just gotten out for theft a few months prior lol.
I used to work lowes in fairview heights lol.

Now i live basically at the intersection of Lebanon Ave and Greenmount road... right behind Shiloh Police Department. Much nicer area IMO. Plus nice having a duplex with a garage versus an apartment.

Is it an OEM Integra spoiler? let me know... i may be interested and could come pick it up... i may stay wingless for a bit though... but may put it back on at some point.

Are you going to the dyno day Sunday? I will be there early.. around nine... and stay until around noon prolly....

I was looking at a duplex near whiteside and we went to see it during the day and i was like omfg, F THAT. There was a townhouse/duplex in shiloh i was wanting to look at but sadly it was rented out. The place im in now is a duplex in mascoutah, privately owned too. The guy built the place like he was gonna live there lol. havnt had to turn the heat on yet at all.
I too have a garage in mine, way better than a 2nd or 3rd story apt where you smell everything and hear everything. the one in shiloh i was looking at was on twin oaks drive, right down the street from the police station.

I turned my integra from the giant wing into wingless and it looked great. i'll take a forza screenshot of the one i made on there but it looks way better wingless.
