drag type spoiler

[Magny]

I am thinkin of getting a drag type spoiler, where it has a low profile and doesnt look like a shopping cart handle. will be low like the stock ones. the pillar height is said to be about 2" which is awfully low, but good enough anyways besides the ones that are over 5-7".

here is some pics of the spoiler:

thinkin of getting the black one (last pic) so it can flow with the black paint job that I am gonna get sometime. get it now, dont have to worry about it being out of stock later IMO.

A Carbon Fiber GT would look better than those aluminum siding wings, but even still...unless you have a full body kit and the car is pretty low like a car from the JGTC, then the accord will look a little odd. IMHO :)

oldschoolswap has a beautiful drag spoiler, only one i've ever liked. all others are benches.

I like the middle one...

The bottom one is overkill... and the top one doesn't seem to sit low enough... plus I don't like that style of spoiler mounting since you can't hang the spoiler off the back.

Check out the APR mini drag wing... I think that is one of the only aluminum wings that would even look half good on our cars.

[Magny]

if you look closely, some of yyou may already have but the bottom one, the second top wing is adjustable.

[88accordhb]

richard kill that idea dawg, since you already got nice rims comin, use the spoiler money for drop springs and save up for a new paint job, and your car should be awesome. that's my opinion.

[Magny]

LOL yeah I should huh, hehehehe doesn't hurt to dream early before all that huh

[HondaBoy]

ehh, dont think any of those look good on any car. but if i had to say, i'd say go with the 2nd one pictured. i just dont like those type of spoilers, they are heavy and, well i just cant stand them. i still have my oem spoiler for mine, damn it, still needs to get repainted and mounted.

[blazin3gen]

actually someone at work has one of those wings on her 00 civic, looks decent because she color matched it like her car

[Mattphi]

whats the site for those

[Project-LXi]

Icky! but then again some ppl dont like my spoiler either, I guess its just a matter of taste, but since you posted it for ppl to comment on it, my advice is DONT DO IT!!!!

[Magny]

bah dont care what any of you say, I made up my mind for the black one, but not until after I get my car painted black to flow it through.

ey ill take a pic of that civic so u can see that it dosent look so bad actually looks cool

[HondaBoy]

hope you dont regret putting that big wing on. my friend had one, then the pedestals cracked and broke, now he's left with holes in his trunk lid. although that probley wont happen to your's.

[Brentm]

Im not into big wings, but I like the second one out of those 3, here you cant have your spoiler sticking out past your back bumper, probably the same everywhere. My friend likes to think of wings like those on cars as wakeboard bars on boats, he always asks the guys questions and wakeboarding, and we watch the stunned/confused looks on their faces.

[i.c.]

if you get any of them....get the second one...

[Magny]

I could get that one and paint it black to match the paint job

[kawzone]

We have front wheel drive cars a wing on the back will just slow you down...

[Magny]

actually it will reduce the drag at the rear considering our boxed style cars.

go to this site and click on FAQ===> Pogy Wings (http://www.pogywings.com/index1.html)

I can't post the image or copy it cause it is run by flash.

[kawzone]

thats a good site lots of great info.

I was thinking of getting one like this. is it Rice?

[HondaBoy]

to some people, that would be considered rice. it's actually ok. if thats real cf, i'd wonder how much it weighs. i know the aluminium ones sound like they'd be light weight, but are somewhat heavy.

[86LXItooFAST4me]

i really dont like wings but i dont like that one

[Chubs87Accord]

who gives a crap what people think is rice.. if you like it get it.. in teh end its your car and your pride and joy.. in my opinion the 3rd one is the coolest, and that CF blade wing is seriously nice

[grey87accorddx]

i disagree on the weight of a alum. wing i had one on my 87 hatch a JSP a2003 and the thing weighed in at like 5lbs it was light as hell and worked tremendously it was fully adjustable and made the lil boxy hatch muuuuuch more stable at higer speeds

[Mattphi]

Sorry bro but there is no way that you could get a hatchy up to the speed that a spoiler could help stabilize it...unless u have some crazy ass JDM motor that noone knows about

[grey87accorddx]

hey i noticed a diff hittin bumps and crusin down the highway at 100mph (was late)

Who cares if it's rice? If you like it then get it. BTW I don't think it's tall enough to be rice :lol:

it doesn't only put downforce on the rear at high speeds (i.e.: Higher than 100 mph mabey less), it reduces the drag created behind your car so it releases most of it as shown in the diagram at the site I posted up. If you haven't looked at the site about it, you should, you can learn something about drag and resistance.
