thanks guys....this wing was purchased from renova auto. it's pretty good fit...honestly, it doesn't fit PERFECT, i'm at my gf's house so i don't have the pictures handy but i'll post them. also, you DO have to drill a hole in your actual hatch if you want to use all the bolts...i didn't use one of them and put the wire through that hole for the LED instead.

i'll post pics later of the minor fitment problem...but honestly...for $100 bucks...you shouldn't expect a PERFECT fit...but...for all of you who are anal about how perfect things have to be, this might be the wrong spolier for you, as there are MINOR issues.

ah, yeah, I just noticed in the last pic that it isn't exactly flush, but not near as bad as some unmodified ones I've seen in the past. Did you trying looking at the bottom of it to see if there was more that you could modify to make it fit even more flush?
see in this pic, at the top right, the red arrows..if this area is too much it could make the wing sit up, it's easy to cut off or use a dremel

sorry to go off topic..but how much does the OEM Type R wing (JDM) cost? and would those go on with out any modification and sit perfect? also same question about the mugen wing...how much, any mods needed, and does it sit perfect?

Probably around 900+ shipping. All jspec spoilers needs modification to make it fit on usdm hatches.

why do they need to me moded?

they bolt on differently, so you have to shave off some moldings I believe...anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

The only OEM Honda wing out right now that fits without Modification is the Canadian GFX WING. The wings size and design is identical to the JDM CTR wing. The only diff between the two is that the CTR's red tail light is about a few cm wider

the wings west will fit also w/out modification, plus, the 04's are in the US now so you can get a wing easier now. :)

here's the picture of the RENOVA AUTO wing gap...i dunno honestly how to fix it

no one but a fellow ep driver will EVER notice that gap. the mold is just a little short of hitting the body line. I would not worry about it. looks good.

i rather have that 1/4 inch gap than pay 800 bucks. i'm gonna try and do a small mod to see if i can get it to fit better...but if not...oh well...

you should be able to get it to fit better, I'm almost positive...most of these molds are replicas of the real deal...try cutting that area I showed :)

it's actually the two small black 10mm nuts that go on the edge of each side that don't line up
