Like I said, I'd remove it but the paint is all scratched underneath it. Looks horrible.

Do you have a PC ot rotary? Many/most of the scratches could be removed with a machine and a few grades of polish.

not sure I'd do it on my car, but I can't see how this mod is 'ricey'. It's not extravagant and 2' high, no flame decals on it.. seems like any add-on that isn't performance related is ricey these days..

it serves no purpose and btw why do you need a spoiler for your window?

i think its supposed to deflect rain. i could be wrong, but hell it looks good. if a mercades, Lex, or VW could pull it off, then why not a max. such negative energy on the org

kencapel is correct....it does help deflect rain. Mine also helps keep the rear window and trunk cleaner.


From an aerodynamic standpoint, it actually reduces the downforce of the rear spoiler. This is good for front wheel drive cars because the result is more force on the front end where it's most needed.

































Well, maybe not....I made that aerodynamic part up

NAY to window spoiler.....
keep it streamlined my friend.....nice, smooth, clean and streamlined, thats the idea.
rear window spoiler is obstacle for the eye which takes away from the car...

I agree with most here. That window spoiler is just overdoing it a bit and takes away from the clean look that should be kickin'. But this kinda stuff is PURE personal pref, so go with whatever give yo a warm fuzzy I say!

sunroof spoiler, rear window spoiler, trunklid spoiler....dude thats 3 spoilers...common now.

ok ok the sunroof thing is actually a wind deflector...but still man it adds to it.. my car had a sunroof deflector thinger majiger...and i ripped it off the first day i had the car.. if i could i would remove the spoiler as well...but it has the third brake light on it and it will be kind of tough...

Ok man, I'm simply in pure disbelief. Please post a pic of any Infiniti or Lexus with one of these. I've NEVER seen that. Admittantly, I've seen a few brotha's put 'em on a Mercedes and IMHO they look like crap on those too. But again, it's a personal pref type thing for sure. I just choose to keep mine "clean" looking as there becomes a point where you're trying to do TOO much and then it starts to go down hill from there.

Actually, I believe it was Mercedes Benz that started this trend, factory.

No way guys, ever heard of the phrase "less is more" keep it simple and classy with the max.
And by the way Hondas do sport that spoiler usually on late 90s hatchback civics. The EK body i know cause my neighbor has one and i see him rev down my street every morning at 830am.

Your car looks pretty tight, although I wonder what it'd look like w/o the trunk spoiler. Either way, nice job!
