Why doesnt anyone have type R wing?

SpeedAuraCL has one. the picture of his car should be floating around here somewhere. just look up VXCL and go to his website. there are a whole buncha CL pics up there and among them a Type R wing.

i personally dont like it.. too big. the only wing i like on the CL is the one that you can get from the factory. but that is just my opinion...i havent seen too many other wings.

Yah its ugly. I think they should just make it about an inch or two shorter and add a clear led. That would look bomb as f#ck, in other words it would be a stock spoiler with a clear lens, the middle piece cut off and a inch taller.

Well there you go! I also don't like the looks of the Type-R spoiler on the CL (hell, I don't really like the looks of the Type-R spoiler on the Integra Type-R) but if you are looking to make your car look really different, I think you've found a way.

i've got one, so nobody start hating on me. :P i personally didn't like the look of the stock wing but to every one their own opinion. i think that if a custom full bodykit is fitted on, it would look much better together, esp if the rear bumper were lower. but of course if youre tryin to keep the classy look like most peeps on this board, then its stock wing or no wing. obviously, i'm not

I think if you have a body kit on that would look OK. But if you're stock like me, IMO, that's just too much, especially w/ the shape of the trunk

here is a type R wing with a wings west bottom lip... the lip has to be cut and refiberglassed, to be able to be fit because our rear bumper is not as wide as the accord.

Lookin good bro. See, i like my bare booty car but at the same time, that looks good to me, with the body kit and all. I think people are just tired of the huge wings these days but that really is not that bad.

Good work.

Wing like that needs to be on a flat trunk, for example: Type R Integra and my own puppy, Civic Si. And by the way, the Si looks much better in the rear than the Teg R, it has the brake light while the R doesn't and the R wing is too high!

wing

Yea, I actually didn't like it at first, but I think its ok now. There is another guy on this island that molded a blitz bumper to his car, and he has a apr aluminum wing. That looks pretty nice. I was gonna get a touring wing or a carbon fiber wing next, cause the type r is just not cutting it anymore.

For some reason, I don't like any of the racing wings on the 1st Gen CLs (But damn...That shit looks damned nice on the RSX Type R)

But if any, I would have gone with the Type R wing.

personally I think that it doesnt fit our body style... just my opinion... Maybe if our car had a full aftermarket kit the spoiler wouldn't be so bad....
