aftermarket replacement integra headlights are actually better ( in my experience ) than the OEM pieces. reason being OEM lights come with fluted/hazed projector lenses, and the aftermarket ones have clear. What does this mean? means when you throw some useful 4-5k HID lights in them they will produce a very very nice beam pattern and have a very colorful cutoff. its like a poor mans HID retrofit

Here is an answer you will hear again and again:

DO WHAT THE HELL YOU WANT!!! Don't ask advice from anyone other than yourself; otherwise, you will hear people with bad remarks. Wanna keep it red? Fucking keep it red. Wanna paint it black? Do it.

I can see the reason behind OP's question but to save face, the question should have never been asked. It will become a flame war.

That wouldn't look good. I'd paint it body color.

Honestly, do what YOU like. Period. If people rag on you, so be it. It's your car. I am more of the OEM look with amber turnsignals. I'd paint your car one solid color. Ditch the black wing and paint it the same.
