I'm hoping it will be so good I won't feel the need to do anything to it for a couple yrs if ever!

If I ended up with white instead of gray I might wait for black aftermarket mirror caps because I think that looks pretty cool, though maybe I'd settle for the "carbon fiber" caps. But with gray, I don't think either makes a lot of sense. Otherwise, I think a Hondata tune after a year or two or three to incease horsepower and torque and to keep me from buying a Type S, I guess...

Agreed with VBinNV, unless removing it leaves holes! Otherwise, i’m trying to convince myself that it’s OK as it is because the gloss black on the back matches the other gloss black trim bits on the front. 😐

I think my only planned purchase is a set of Blizzaks, and perhaps a new set of wheels down the road. I’m sticking with the 18” wheels, though I’m not opposed to the idea of a 17” wheel with beefier sidewalls. Possibly summer tires depending on how the stock tires perform — I’m actually not sure what the car comes with.

That aside, I’m definitely interested in other modifications, but… ask me again after my warranty has expired. 😉

I was particularly interested in a more aggressive spoiler, so I watched the production video closely, and noticed that the stock spoiler does clip in through holes in the trunk lid... so that's off the table for now. it looks like the truck and fender A-Spec logos are held only with adhesive, and I think the car would look even better without those, providing they can be taken off without damage. Then you're left with just the Acura logo and integra stamps.

I'll have the dealership do ceramic tinting at 35% all the way around before I take it as well as the illuminate front emblem, then would like to get a tuner through 27WON when it's available. If I manage to get the White/Red combo that I want most, then I think a gloss black wrap on the roof and maybe even the hood as well could look good. I'm eagerly awaiting some aftermarket gloss black front lip and side skirt options.

I'll avoid fiddling under the hood until after the warranty period, so no front/down pipes, upgraded turbo, intake, etc. for the first two years... but clearly I've got some ideas.

What modifications are you guys planning to do first to your Integra?

To kick things off, for me it will be lowering springs (a 1-1.5 inch drop should be enough), performance brake pads, Enkei RPf1 on Michelin Pilot Sport A/S and a short shifter. Basically a very mild street/track setup.

Wheels is usually where I go first with mods but the most practical one would be getting a PPF wrap. I think the Integra would look great with an XPEL Stealth wrap to give it a satin/matte finish.

I’m thinking wheels and summer tires for next season… I hope everyone will post their mods as they do them so I can see how good the wraps look!

I'm guessing the workaround for this would be to swap out the hatch with another one from a base model (sans spoiler), though that is probably more trouble than it's worth.

That's actually a really clever idea--I might be looking for someone in the midwest with a Base model in white wanting a black duckbill spoiler in a few months interested in meeting for a trade!

 

[houndrunner]

If that works for you, definitely keep me posted! Could be very cool if it isn't too much of a hassle to swap if you can find one in the right color, though I'd be mindful of whether the VIN on the hatches no longer matching the rest of the car would cause any issues. I'm assuming this varies by state though.

I'm leaning towards removing it entirely because of how beautifully shaped the trunk lid is.

My CR-Z has a silly black plastic spoiler on its hatch butt too. At least it has its third brake light in it, so there’s some function.

This week I’ve been gathering price quotes for window tint. Want: top of the line ceramic that doesn’t interfere with radio or GPS. Looking at Llumar, Suntek, maybe 3M. I’ll go light on front doors like 50% or lighter and maybe 35% on rear doors and hatch. Probably should do moonroof if it’s not dark enough… I’ll have a 5% at the top of the front windshield. Your free advice on brands and aesthetics of tint is welcome. My car will be a blue/white 6MT.

Good luck filing in the holes
