As long as its not an aluminum or huge cf thing it should be ok. Stay away from wail tails too. The non-VR4 wing looks good.

hahaha yeah aerodynamics is a myth. Just like gravity and magnetic energy. If you can't see it its not there. Labs just spend hundrends of thousands of dollars on wind tunnels to waist everyones valuble time & money.

Just strap your snowboard across the back and see how that works.

Hey, if you want to give me a brand new civic, 4 or 2 door for my current FC, THEN YES I AM A RICER HARDCORE!!!!

I'll take the civic, sell it and buy another FC and do my best on it

if the spoiler is visually appealing to you get one.im not a big fan of stock cars theres always something better for them. dont restore, customize

looks are different to everyone.

I 2nd that. My TII didn't have a spoiler on it, and my best friend has a TII that came with one and I don't think mine looks right compared to his.

Has anyone slapped a TII spoiler on a vert? I'd be really interested to see how that would look.

I really like the stock TII spoiler myself, but I too have a vert, no spoiler, and love the smooth way it looks.

The only thing is I drive a white car, and the aero quality of the dern car always makes all this road dust and grime end up on the top surfaces of my rear bumper.

I have just recently started to wonder if a small stock type spoiler would help this.
Any body got experience with this?
I like the stock TII spoiler and I remember somewhere's seeing a vert witha TII spoiler modified to fit( I believe there is a good bit of cutting and shaping to get the coupe part to fit on the vert.


But If you are talking a wing, a whale tail , or a park bench, STAY AWAY from it. IMO they look hideous on all but the very few cars that need them( Top fuel dragsters and 200+ mph supercars!)

just my $.02
