Its ok. I think it points upward too much (looks like a ducks ***). IMO the tsunami is a better choice while still giving a "similar" look.

I like that lip wing also. If I do get a wing it would be that one! The runner up would be the tsunami wing pictured above.

This might persuade you....





I put those pictures on this thread like yours http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=235080....

Hey good luck on whatever you do...

I'd say go ahead and get it. It'd look real nice if you molded it in with you lid and rear panels

hehe...ok i'll look into that idea..sounds very interesting, about molding it in with lid. oh and about the body kit. i'll take that advice also and drop the plans for the lip kit. i'll do the body kit instead to go with the spoiler. thanks sevyn for that comment also.

It's not that bad on a lip kit at all, look.... his got the Kaminari lip kit all the way around.



btw this member is Colombian4Lyf if you want to see more pictures on him...

With a body kit you might be asking for trouble because they are not the easiest things to do and keep up with especially if you go really low... do some research on bodykits before you get one. I know by experience, look at my ride... All I have to say is "Say no to Fiberglass".

They mean by "flushed" in with the trunk.... like it is connected to the trunk not just with nuts and blots but with fiberglass or machined into the trunk. So that the wing appears to be part of the trunk and can not be removed. It will take some good workmanship and money to do this... material, painting, and labor. They are more talking about the side pieces being molded so it looks like it is connected and can not be taken off...

If someone else can explain this better please go ahead. Hope I helped out a little...

Example: See below how the side skirt is "molded" onto the car... there are "no lines" to show that it once was a separate piece...

Personaly the W/W lip is not my style. It's nice though.

I just recived the rear window spoiler from Tsunami. The trunk lid spoiler is a couple of day's out. From what I've seen so far I've liked the kit. Now that it's in my hands....

I need to call Tsunami. I'm not impressed . The roof wing doesn't line up right. If I line it up so it's even... The center is at the windows edge, and the ends hanging about 1/4in lower than the window line...

I looked into that one but, I have heard one bad thing about it tho.... I heard that it is stuck on by double sided tape... is that true? Also the bad thing was this guy was driving on the highway and the thing just flew off. So ever since I read that I said just forget it.

But that is the first time hearing about it not fitting on good... sorry to hear that. Like you said call them see what happens...

texas ur right on the money, i herd a very similar story. I love that rear roof wing, but i had the same doubts because it seemed like it cannot be bolted on and will need tape. and if u wash ur car often like me , i'm scared the soup can make the wing loose and fall off. gotta be some type of super super tape to keep it on. good luck though. by the way, do u have ne pics of the trunk tnami led spoiler u mentioned that came out 4 days ago.???

I've heard simmiler stories. I can guarantee I WILL NOT be using the double sided tape they include. I work in the auto motive industry... There are some great tapes out there. I have the ventshades on my car currently. They see alot of washing and enviromental issues ( I live in Mass ). I replaced the tape on my passanger side once, with some 3M stuff. It works great! My only concern with the spoiler is weight. It's actuialy quite heavy. I still need to call Tsunami. I'm just adding up questions to ask... I'll fill you all in after I talk with them, probably tomorow.

im sure nobody is reading this thread any more but just a quick tip, molding aint always a good idea, unless your ride is a show car. i had my 97 accord body kit molded to be hot s#!t and it was and looked tight as hell for like 9-10 months, long story shoet the whole thing ended up gettin ripped off now the car looks like *** and im getting rid of it, for other reasons also tho but just as a heads up
