These billet aluminum plates fill them properly, with a sculpted upper surface that follows the car's body lines and closed cell EPDM gaskets that keep water where it belongs. Direct bolt-on into the factory locations, no cutting, and fully reversible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Gasket Is Doing Real Work\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEasy to overlook, and it's the difference between a clean delete and a wet trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRemoving the wing leaves holes through your hatch. Anything covering them has to seal against water, and a hatch flexes and vibrates constantly while getting hit by rain, pressure washers, and everything the road throws up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe closed cell EPDM gaskets compress between the plate and the hatch to create a weather-tight seal. Closed cell matters here because it doesn't absorb water the way open cell foam does, so it won't hold moisture against your paint or degrade into something that stops sealing after a season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlenty of people delete a wing with tape or a generic plug and spend the next year chasing a damp trunk. This is the version that doesn't, and it protects the hatch structure as well as the cabin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSculpted, Not Flat\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper surface is shaped rather than being a flat cover over the holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat's what makes the delete look intentional. A flat plate reads as something covering an absence, while a profiled surface following the hatch contours reads as how the car could have been drawn. From behind, the rear end looks complete rather than stripped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach version is shaped to its own chassis, so the FK8 plates follow FK8 body lines and the FL5 plates follow the FL5's. Black hard anodized finish keeps it durable and understated, and anodizing holds up in sun and weather far better than paint on a part exposed like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy People Delete The Wing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThree reasons, all legitimate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe look.\u003c\/strong\u003e The Type R wing is polarizing by design. Some owners love it, some want the performance without announcing it to every parking lot. A delete gives you a considerably more subtle car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrag reduction.\u003c\/strong\u003e For high speed and racing applications where downforce matters less than top speed, removing the wing is a real aerodynamic decision rather than a cosmetic one. There's a small weight saving along with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReversibility.\u003c\/strong\u003e Since this bolts into factory locations with no modification, the wing goes back on whenever you want. That matters at resale, where the next buyer might feel differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKnow What You're Giving Up\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeing straight, since this is an aero part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory wing generates real downforce at the rear. Removing it changes the car's aerodynamic balance, and at sustained high speed the rear will feel less planted than it did.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the street at legal speeds you won't notice. On a fast track with high speed corners, you will, and that's worth thinking about before committing if the car sees serious circuit use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWant More Wing, Not Less?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth knowing this page has an opposite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're chasing downforce rather than removing it, the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.hybrid-racing.com\/products\/prl-motorsports-fl5-civic-type-r-rear-wing-risers?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=cfe394620\u0026amp;_ss=r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ePRL FL5 wing risers\u003c\/a\u003e go the other direction entirely.
