Whats up, I'm probably going to buy a 94-97 integra gsr soon. I was wondering whats the best way to take off the vtec badge. Is it just adhesive? Also I want to take off the spoiler cuz I like it better without. Will there be holes where the spoiler is bolted on? Is there any way to fill em and make it look good?

Ya the badge is just held on by some sort of adhesive just peel it off usin your fingernail. As for the wing there will be 2 holes on each side + 1 hole for the wire for the led. If you know how to bondo go ahead if not just leave it until you learn how.

You could try heating up the badge like how they heat up pinstripes to remove them.

I used fishing line to take my VTEC badge out. I then used a can of Bug/Tar/Adhesive remover to take off the eccess tape that was left behind from the badge. After the clean up, I refineshed my paint because the remover take out a lot, even the wax that was put on your car.

Heat up the badge with a heatgun or a hairdryer. Use waxed dental floss to remove the badge without scratching the paint, it should easily pull off after you've ran dental floss underneath it with the warmed adhesive. Whenever I remove a badge or pinstripes I use Meguire's Paint Cleaner to clean the job up and remove the adhesive left behind. You will see a spot where the badge once was, kinda like when you've had a picture on the wall for a really long time and then you take it off. It won't be as noticeable after it's been driven daily and your car isn't immaculately clean. When you wash it you will sorta be able to see it again, but most everyone else won't. Eventually that part of paint will match the rest of the car.

The spoiler, yes you will see holes. You can get these filled at any body shop.

when my vtec badge was stolen i just rubbed my finger over the adhesive, of course making sure my nail doesn't hit the paint. it worked great for me. the gunk just bunches up and you can pick it off. only trace of the badge is the outline of where it used to go.

I dont think your gonna be able to take the spoiler off becsue the GSR came wit hthe spoiler stock and the brake light is in the spoiler. So you wouldn't have the brake light
That third brake light isn't necessary. There will just be an extra hole that will need to be filled from the brake light.
