No. Go with the larger OEM spoiler!

If you don't like that style, and want to keep the smaller one your car came with, get it painted. DO NOT PLASTIDIP!

Lies, plasti dip the hell out of it. Looks waaaay better, but in your case get the plasti dip glossifier so it matches the shinyness of your car

A diffuser would sexy up the already sexy exhausts you got on there.

SERIOUSLY. De-badging is the gheyest whackest mod in the books. Makes the car look like the worst kind of trashy Civic there is! Don't do it, man!

Tattoo, you should do whatever you want to your car, because modding your car the way other people think it should look is retarded, It should be how YOU want it to look. If you want to debadge it...go for it. There's a DIY Somewhere on here for it that should help you out with the process.

Don't listen to the negative nancy's

Nice mod OP. Congrats.

You will definitely be happy if you spend some time polishing out the swirl marks. Even a hand polish will do the trick.

As for this ^ opinion, it is clearly the minority. There is a lot of badging in a small area on this car, so reducing that can emphasize the lines for sure. Adding badges is almost rice for sure, but I don't think taking them away is.
