spoiler bar(nightime aid)

gmp · 10th November 2007, 11:01

I know the rear screen is not very good visability, but I have noticed that when I am being followed at night the bar helps to obscure the glare of headlights in my rearview mirror.I dont think for one minute honda designed this feature in to the screen(maybe I should be on their team?).

It is a bonus

I would like to tint the lower portion to further dim the comedians who drive right up my tailpipe and shine under the bar.

I did have a go with a Halfords black film kit - - - - - - but failed miserably

I have noticed this as well and also that if I can't see their lights they are not too close behind. If I see them underneath the 'bar' then the car behind is tooooo close and I slow up slightly until they get the message.

Could be they are trying to read your sticker.

It's completely unintentional but very pleasing!

shame about the idiots who drive 4x4s, theyre so high up their lights shine over the spoiler (an I even have the additional spoiler trim on!). Mind you, just let that turbo wind up then whooooosh I'm gone!

hey presto, problem solved

I know I should have put the medium size one on the rear instead of the small

yer its great in the night, i have my rear window tinted aswell, and that aids the glare, the only downside is, when you see a white astra, or white mondeo, or new vauxhall vectra behind you and you cant check to see if its a police car!

You also have to look out for a black Civic with blue lights in my area.
