Looks clean, though it makes it look somewhat like those older Civic Hatchbacks. I like the wing, I plan on getting the whole Tsunami kit eventually.

Why not? Let me guess your going to tell me that dual exhaust you lose back pressure, right? so a lose in HP? Well, get your info right before you think. I had this system all custom build. I gain more power with this system then my old system.

Thanks Silver2k1Dood!!!!

Overthetop

Did you have any trouble with the painting? I have my roof wing in the body shop now and the first attempt to paint it, lots of pores or pinholes showed up in it, especially on the undeside. This is a very good body shop and they are quite experienced, but this happened anyway.

anything that is made out of polyurathane has to be preped properly. I have the tsunami front end on my car, and when they painted it the first time i got pin holes. Turns out that the release agent that they use when they are making the urathane pecies will seep out and cause those holes. My bodyshop used alot of simple green and the wetsanded it to make sure they didint apear again. try asking them to do that and you should befine.

Tsunami uses a low grade polyurathane. Polyurathane is made out of oils and stuff. low grade is more oil, so when they paint it, it release's the oil and most of the time the paint will "fish eye" pin hole pits. My shop painted 6 pieces all at on time and the only 2 "fish eyed" the bumper and wing. They painted the bumper 5 times before it was right.

Oh dont worry about the bottom you dont see it at all.

Thanks for the info on painting. I left it at the shop because the color code doesn't acually match the car, so they will be repainting. I left my OE grill there so they could eyball the color. Maybe enough coats and the pin holes will fill up.

They paint urethane OE bumpers every day, and never have seen this problem before. However they say that some of the newer bumpers are made from lower quality material also. I guess the car and aftermarket parts people are using cheaper and cheaper stuff. For the price of the Tsunami wing, I must admit I expected better.

Finally after two tries at paint matching and a false start on installation. (Gotta get it right or start over) I got my Tsunami Roof Wing on. The body shop only charged me $40 for paintig since they had problems with the paint match. Not a bad deal.

Trying to upload pics now.
