Please dont respond telling me that this is "rice" or pointless, I just want to know where to get it. Where Can I buy a speed sensitive spoiler, or a kit to put on my APR aluminum wing?

Just steal one off of a 911!!!! Now those are sweet. VW copied it. Speed sensitive spoilers come out at certain speeds to provide down force. Actually it is for a rear wheel drive car. Don't know why the beetle would need it. When you slow down the recess back into the opening.

Hey that ain't rice. That's pretty unique. But I haven't seen any kits or anything like that. It would probably have to be custom.

dude chances are you aren't going to be able to get a speed sensitive spoiler for the 2k1 civic or any civic in general unless you have it custom made. they serve no purpose. A rear spoiler on a front wheel drive car serves no purpose at all except looks. You don't need your downforce on the back you need to deliver your down force to the wheels that have the power in otherwords a front lip spoiler. and to answer what a speed sensitive spoiler is it is a spoiler like the ones used on cars such as the porsche. It lowers and raises due to your speed. on the porsche it generally goes up at like 50 - 60 miles per hour and then they go back down when slowing. all you would really need to make your existing spoiler a speed sensitive one would be to get the motor to raise and lower it and then a way to hook it up to your spedometer.
