about $500

you got your urethane (JDM), fiberglass (replica), carbon fiber with a clear brake light (replica)

also the brake lights are a bit different. the jdm one is a little smaller and you cant see the screws on the jdm one.

yah i thought so! i see so many ppl's eps with all these different brands and they all look the same to me, i was like :rolleyes:

so i heard there are some that i need to drill holes or i have to cut a small piece to make it fit, is there one that can fit just perfectly on my ep without any mod?!

Don't forget about that funky looking German piggyback style one XLR8B4U had. It was imported from Germany and went on top of the OEM spoiler.

so that's the one that comes with a straight cut with holes and everything, and i don't have to do any mod to it and it'll fit perfectly? and also looks like the jdm type r wing too?

The Honda HFP wing should pop right on, and people have been having good experiences with the Spoiler Depot replica CTR-style wing. Don't know about the Wings West or Buddy Club wings, so I can't say anything about those.

The Wings West midwing is the one that wraps around the hatch, below the window. Personally, I wouldn't go with one, because there's not enough airflow down there for a midwing to take advantage of.

The JDM Type-R wing, I'm told, has bits on the ends that connect to the hatch around the window glass, which is itself has a different shape at the top corner edges than the regular Si hatch glass. They'd need to be cut off of the wing to fit properly on an Si's hatch.
