Well thank you very much...you've made me go order the spoiler.
Hopefully they can still get it; all the Canadian warehouses are out of stock.

Showstoppers has or can get them.
dumb question but hows the view with that spoiler haha (prolly little diff is my guess :P )
Yep... pretty much little difference. I hardly notice it's there when I'm driving. I have really dark tints, so I don't see much of the spoiler at all from the inside.
I didn't notice any difference at all. I even applied the stickers they gave me so I don't have to look at the underside of the spoiler.
With the JDM trim, view is actually better than stock.
Hey, my spoiler came in today! I guess I'll be picking it up tomorrow.
awesome write up. my first post on the new name!!
Installed my spoiler today. I didn't bother with the window film either. If you don't do that step you don't need to take the side interior panels off. Hopefully Showstoppers has the brake light delete panel for me.
got any pics of the JDM trim?Excellent write-up -- couple things I would highlight:
#7 -- good tip. Make sure you clean up all the drill shavings/filings or they will rust and stain your paint. Ask me how I know.
#10 -- also a good idea -- go slightly small. The hole saw cut will be rough and by the time you clean it up will be at 20mm. The reason for 20mm is if you ever go back to stock can seal the hole with a 20mm bodyplug.
#12 -- deviation from Honda's instructions here, but this is what I did also. Honda includes a packet of adhesion promoter with instructions to use it prep the glass. I followed the instructions but it makes the glass look like crap, all smeary, ended up wiping it off. It's not needed, 3m tape sticks fine to clean bare glass.
Final tip -- lose the 3rd brake lite. The JDM trim is only ~$40 and it really finishes the look.
Nice write up. This is a must have. Should have came stock, don't know why honda didn't make it stock. Just the wing alone makes the car look 10x better! That and also if they didn't make it looklike a 4x4 haha.
One thing I don't like about the wing is the fact that it gets dirty underneath ^^^^^
If you don't use the stickers it comes with, you see a bunch of dirt. And also water gets trapped underneath when you wash the car so once you dry your car and start driving, water starts to drip down the hatch....

As for the film, it's designed to take into account the 3rr brake light, if you do the delete panel it will leave a spot in the film, I made my own film out of limo tint.
