I will in about a month when I have the $$ (hopefully). I heard there was a fiberglass version of the replica but I had only seen the CF one. I want to paint mine NBP, but was NOT gonna pay $400 for a CF one to paint it!

Thanks again,

Eric

The only downfall of these replica wings is u have to cut them to fit our USDM version hatchs but it's do-able.

eh, almost every wing on the market right now is meant for the CTR and needs modding... It's not difficult if you have a dremel tho...

The CTR is the main platform for the EP3 civic model. They just thought about the Acura sales of the RSX Type-S so they made a lower model one just for north americans, So we'd probably have CTR if it wasn't for the RSX Type-S. And the modding isn't to crazy, So it's all good.

Good question. Still trying to decide between this wing and the CTR style one. Especially if I can get the HFP one which should require no modification ;)

got my wing in and when i order it from afs, they told me that it perfect fit, which is wrong, it a jdm mugen style wing, which mean i have to shave off the 2 lump, which i will do later this week and get it painted, but beside that they were wrong about having to shave it, everything eles is pretty good. ill post up pix soon

Ya do all the fitting work before u send itfor painting man. Saves u alot of stress. And for the HFP wing you actually need to drill a hold for it man. It's for the Brake light harness. but at least it's a prefect fit and comes pre-painted so u'll know it matches for sure.
Thats always a plus. :D

Modification wasn't big deal.
I had to modify jspec CF mugen spoiler.
Can be done in less than hour with proper tools. Rotary tool is VERY helpful.

Sweet. I still love the mugen wing best but the real deal ain't worth $1000+ haha just gotta find the best replica out there.

was wondering if any one would be intrested in this mugen spoiler, i will modify it so it will fit, all you have to do is get it painted, let me know, reason for selling is might get a carbon fiber mugen instead

I think I like the mugen wing in fiberglass better than carbon. it is big, but blends in with the car better. less pretentious in my opinion. it looks good, but I am not sure about the front lip. sorry.

vietnamese
02-28-2004, 05:17 AM
yeah the mugen lip lines up on the side view, it lines up with the hatch, as for the lip, cant beat the price and material, everyone got different taste, but lip will look better when it painted, ill post up more pix when everything is done

That wing is sweet I prefer to get the wing to match the color of the car rather then CF. As for the ABS dynamics front lip I prefer the Mugen lip better but it's not bad I've seen them paints and looks pretty good. Just not my style. :D

so fitment was good?? the wing looks good on your car. i ordered the same front lip and i hope it doesn't angle like yours too. the only one that doesn't seem to angle is BISDAK-R's front lip. maybe b/c he had the first ones made. oh and post more pics of the lip and wing painted.

vietnamese
02-28-2004, 10:53 AM
yea, fitment is good after you shave off the lump, took me a while, but you can see the hollow spots if you look up close, and the lower bottom of the spoiler has no support and it a bit loose, because there only screw hodling the top and not the bottom, but i didnt get a chance to put all the screw on, so i will let you know about that, as for the lip, notice that it was not straight, i need to fix it, just testing it, i will make it straight and show some pix =D

so you think the lip will be parallel(even) w/ the bumper lenses. i hope so b/c i keep seeing everyone 's lip angled. does the mugen wing stay secure while driving. can you see if it rattles? how much you think it ways? and you are not gonna bondo the inside of the holes?? thats what i did to my replica ctr wing. sorry for all the questions.

yea, you just have to line it up, just have to move the edge of the lip up high

does the mugen wing stay secure while driving. can you see if it rattles?

it secure now and doesnt move, i double side tape the back of it

how much you think it ways?

not sure

and you are not gonna bondo the inside of the holes??

nah, it just hollow

wow that looks real nice man. so you shaved the front bumper lenses?? did the shop use fiberglass to fill in the hole??? i'm thinking about buddyclub sides w/ that front. can you get a pic of the whole car? so we can see the entire kit w/ the wing together. sorry for keep askin for pics. but your ride looks nice though.

yeah, ill get some pix soon, ill post it in the members ride whenever i have a chance to snap some pix, not sure how they did the holes, but my homie patch it up for me, i think he put a patch on the back of the bumper and bondo the front, have the look of jdm bumper without all the hassle, and lip and type r side and rear lines up perfectly. But pix will be up soon

wow post from the dead, i forgot where i got the spoiler from, been a few months, but i think you can search the forum and find a seller, majority are carbon fiber. Ill try to take some better pix whenever i have the chance, but i think other have this wing also in fiberglass.
