How to fit a Type R spoiler on a Type S - Page 2

Vet_2010 · 11th April 2008, 20:44

Emm I can't decide whether to fit the Type-R spoiler or not!

It looks really good, much better than the lip spoiler I got with the Image pack but I'm worried how it might affect me when it would come to trading the car in at some point in the future. What is everyone's opinions on this?
I also don't want to make my car look like a 'wannabe' Type-R, everything I've done so far hasn't involved any Type-R parts so maybe I could get away with the one.

It just looks soo much better than the Image Pack spoiler, you can notice it for one!
If I do go for it I doubt I'd go down the drilling route and stick to glueing it on, I reckon Honda would use it as an excuse to void warranty on the rear window. Top marks to those of you that have done, you've certainly put alot of effort and care into it, very professional indeed!

Lol apologies, I didn't mean to offend

Your's doesn't look like a 'wannabe' Type-R, it looks very well. I just mean I don't want to go overboard. Colour coding and getting rid of that horrible black trim is a must in my opinion, but I'm trying to judge where I should draw a line. The Type-R grill is a no no, the clear one looks better on silver anyway IMHO. The spoiler though is just soo tempting

Have you any more changes planned for your own?
