OEM Replica Spoiler
I highly recommend these guys for an OEM replica spoiler.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2424430382
I ordered a painted one for my 02 coupe and it only set me back $150 plus $33 for shipping.
That is the cheapest I've seen for a pianted one.
Their instructions sucked but I was able to use the install instructions from http://www.handa-accessories.com/.
I did sweat it a bit when I drilled holes in the trunk of my newish car I and wasn't certain the bolt holes would line up with the factory marks. But they did.
I also did the kick-*** DIY for replacing the crap-designed trunk springs with shocks. http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...hreadid=56901.
Totaly worth the effort. I went with 60 lbs of force. My trunk lifts with the new spoiler, and I fit a pair of Infinfity Reference 6x9s with some monster magnets. (Chrutchfield told me they'd fit but I ordered them from ikesound.com and saved $100 but couldn't return them without being *** raped on a restock fee)
One note on the trunk shocks though. You'll want to mount the top of the shock as far forward (near the bottom of the curve) as possible on the trunk hinge, to do this you will have to angle the shocks inwards enough so that you can close the trunk. The geometry of it allows the trunk to open more than if you mounted them straight and higher on the hinge. You'll see what I mean if you go to do it.
OK I'll shut up now.
