I honestly like this, lol...looks clean. Wonder how he covered up the holes. I know with the FA5 we used just some of those plastic round things that hold plastic panels...then painted it to match, lol
Fill with bondo/JBWeld/etc., sand, paint to match, and prime. I think this would provide the cleanest look. But it would be difficult to undo.

You could also buy a stock hatch and attach it and paint to match.

The wing on the Type R is something that sets it apart and in my opinion couldn't go without.

If someone who removes the wing and are worried about the holes an expensive option would be just buy a whole new hatch from a sport model.

I’d trade the hatch off my Civic straight up with someone that’s got the red Type R if they want the cleaner look without the holes in the hatch.

Awe, I really don’t care what people think that much... I get it, but I’m not enough of a tryhard to be offended about someone else’s opinion. All I know, is that I like the way the aesthetics come together with the wing in my opinion.

I think it looks narly with the 3 tip exhaust, but if you noticed the difference hat good you threw it back on. I would’ve done the same thing, as for looks, I’d go wingless.
