Bought a 23 integra a little over a year ago. It’s the nicest car I’ve owned so far, and want to keep it nice the best I can. When I took the spoiler off to re clear coat it (was peeling and a known issue, and dealer wasn’t replacing) I noticed when they drilled the holes for the spoiler they touched them up, but not well enough. Rust spots and bubbling starting around the holes.

I’ve been tackling rust with my RSX, and honestly just done dealing with it. Does this look worth taking to a shop to have done for peace of mind and wanting to keep the car for a long time?

Should I tackle myself? Hesitant to do so, but I guess I could tape really well around hole and just sand the small area and touch up. Don’t want to fuck it up for sure.

Took off the oem carbon spoiler because it was peeling. Watched ACH Garage vid on when they re did theirs. Used a sander and 600 grit, and hit it with scotch pad too. The parts that were peeling feel mostly smooth but still a tad less smooth than the rest. Does it need more? I couldn’t really get it down any more with 600 grit and the Bauer sander.

Hello ladies and gents, I have an outlet in the garage that has a small extension cord plugged in, as well as the ATT fiber base. The extension just has two vaccums plugged into it, and a smart garage door opener thing. Everything will work fine for literally a few months. And then it will trip and internet goes out. Never trips a breaker. I did notice it was raining today when it happened, and read it could be moisture. But there’s no water getting into the garage or around it. I am living in FL so obv is humid as fuck, but it’s strange that it works most of the time but then will have a random trip like 3 months apart.

Piece behind mirror feels like it’s going to crumble apart.

Bought my 23 aspec used, and in good condition, but they hit something and slightly dented the lower grill on the bumper. It’s also ppfed and looks like shit now, so wanted to replace just that part. Found it for $115, but shipping is $325?!

Can’t for the life of me get this loose while trying to pry up the spoiler which is also taped down. Used heat cut and got through the adhesive on one corner, stuck on the zip ties situation! They appear to have locking tabs on both sides (don’t look like typical square head with locking tap)

You can see how it was before, but never mounted on my car, just picked up some surface rust from the humidity in FL. Used a wire wheel first l, and then soaked a towel in vinegar. Cleaned up a little, but seems to already have picked up some surface rust after first clean just sitting inside my humid townhouse. What can I use to get this more back to grey color, and protect it after? Thanks ladies and gents!

Had to snap this pic of gas station lighting making my car look like it came out of need for speed underground hahahah
