Please post Pics of RSX Wings/Spoilers.

If you have an RSX please post a picture of whatever type of spoiler you have added.

I know that I could have asked this over at clubrsx.com but this site is WAY better.

I wonder how the 01+ Civic Coupe spoiler would look on a RSX. IMO the HUGE type-R wing is too much. I know that it would take a little "work" to get it on there but it might look really nice. IMO the type-R wing is just too huge. The civic coupe wing is kind of "in between" size. Maybe somone could photochop one (hint hint nudge nudge).

Well to get things started here's a pic of that Type R wing I was talking about.

Here's the picture that pretty much sold me on buying an RSX (I test drove one yesterday but that's another story).

The wing is not really my style but here it is anyway. By the way, some of you observant types will notice that I photochopped out the little air intake thing on the nose.

Yep. Too many if you ask me. I still have my fingers crossed that someone with some real photoshop skills (I'm such a newb) can chop on one of our coupe wings. The way I imagine it, it might look just right.

The type-R wing does look good. It follows the lines of the car very nicely. However, some people (like myself) like slightly more subtle styling. The regular spoiler is subtle like that (see photo #2). Another thing to keep in mind, the car looks really good without any spoiler. Here's a pic like that:

yea, i like it without the spoiler too, i dont really care for a spoiler, it doesnt do much but add weight.

It looks good, but thats about it...which is why i dont plan on getting a spoiler any time soon

That pretty much sums it up. I do like the style the right wing/spoiler can add to a car. For me it takes careful research into whats available and how it looks. When I pick something to add or modify to my car it has to be "just right". I guess that's what this thread is for, to share and explore the possibilities.

Here's another picture of an RSX (my RSX ) without a spoiler.



If I were to get a spoiler, it would have to be the OEM one. But I can do without one.

It looks pretty sweet without the hole. Too bad that's where the opening of the stock air box is located.

Here's a little subtle pixel polish. How ironic that in a thread about spoilers that is the first thing to go...

If I was patient enough I could scrub out all of those graphics etc... That end product is what I see myself shooting for. As a matter of fact, I'm going to look at a silver (w/black leather) type-s on monday.

I'm still "wingless", but I seem to fly fine without it.
I tried for awhile to find something I liked, but everything seem to be to extreme.

I just bought a silver 02 Type-S. It has the factory spoiler. It looks nice. I'll be picking it up this week sometime.

Congrats man!! I'm thinking about buying an OEM spoiler, but not anytime soon though. I'm pretty content without it.
