    drag type spoiler

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    go to this site and click on FAQ===> Pogy Wings

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

    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.
