Roof spoiler? Which one?

ante00 · 23rd July 2008, 19:06

Well I plan to order roof spoiler for my civic and I'm little bit in doubt which one to take

Option 1

Option 2

Unknownsoldier · 23rd July 2008, 19:08

Both naff, sorry.

Tom

mrphilk · 23rd July 2008, 19:56

yeah sorry mate but imo they both look a little on the cheap side. I would keep it the way it is

robbo51 · 23rd July 2008, 20:02

This is the only one: IMHO

ante00 · 23rd July 2008, 20:21

I have duck tail installed on civic but I want also roof spoiler but can't decide which to get from first post

here is more pics of boot spoilers

Jack The Lad. · 23rd July 2008, 20:37

It will be too over the top, IMHO.
Stay with how Honda intended, or a type R one.

illegalhunter · 23rd July 2008, 21:49

None of the above , looks like you won some Halfords vouchers

HappyMan · 23rd July 2008, 22:33

I have to agree with the rest but it's your car and you should do with it what makes you happy. Robbo's version is the best one in my opinion.

Anyway happy modding

Ben_K · 23rd July 2008, 23:41

I agree with the others... they all look naff. What benefit are they? None aerodynamically, I'm sure.
However, if I had to go for one, I'd take the black one. The one on the blue car looks like it belongs on a 206 outside a drive through McDonalds.
Honestly though, don't go for either, it looks poor.

mrphilk · 24th July 2008, 08:30

I think they will both ruin the car, but if I had to chose one I would choose the first one, as the cheap plastic effect spoiler would flap around in the wind less.

If your getting one of the two though why dont you see if they will throw in some shiny chrome spinners and a blue led headlamp kit with a discount!

AndyC · 24th July 2008, 09:46

I'm quite liking the first/black one to be honest. Would be good to see it on a car with the TypeR spoiler. The blue one does just look ridiculous.

HappyMan · 24th July 2008, 13:29

I saw a civic with the blue style roof spoiler today on a black car and it looked kinda ok but still not sure but don't let us put you off

cylon2007 · 24th July 2008, 13:44

Neither, they both look naff

allan40alt · 24th July 2008, 13:51

Sorry, but I have to agree with most of the members comments.

If I had any colour but NHB then I would have the proper Honda spoiler shown by robbo. The others look a bit boy-racerish and detract from the smooth flowing lines.

PS: I've just realised what is wrong with the roof spoiler; it looks like a baseball cap worn back-to-front.

Charles_Harding · 24th July 2008, 15:52

I just like the simple lines of the standard Honda extra one.

It certainly looks good in that Milano!

Wouldn't bother doing it myself but I think the black one is best.

OvergrownDave · 24th July 2008, 16:47

I think the black looks better of the two, looks a better fit sleaker and all that. I've just ordered a type r spoiler for my type S, still looks the best in my opinion.

5DR_R18A2 · 26th July 2008, 18:33

The first one is more beautiful (for me), but with a Type-R tail spoiler. (not with these small ones)

I got one for my 5dr as well and it looks very good, and change the grill as well. It will be amazing!
