not sure what type of roof spoiler you are referring to. can you explain where it would go because the only roof thing I know about for our cars are the vent shade that goes over the sun roof and one that goes over the rear window, but those are called shades instead of a spoiler so not real sure what it is or where a spoiler would go on the roof

Roof spoiler is what most import guys call them. I've seen them for the 6th gen Civic, 3rd gen Integra, 5th gen Accord sedan and the 5th gen Prelude.

The Accord version might work with some modification.

you might be able to pull it off, but the top of our cars looks like a big ass bubble, so it might look totally dumb too
you could probably find one for an accord or similar and make it work
i'm all for originality though, so try it out and lets see

I remember him saying he was taking it off also but I guess I just thought it was because it was butt ugly, didn't know he was planning on getting a different one. Anyhow that is the only one I have ever seen with the rear window shade on it so he would be the one to ask about fit and other information needed to know about it

you talking to me? I wasn't giving any opinion, I was making a statement on why I thought he said he was taking the damn thing off. I was actually trying to help by showing one that I knew that had one of the things on their car but I see no need to single one person out when it seems there are more than one person with the same opinion. I could care less if you decided to take a match to your car and make it as ugly as you want, its your car and it will just make mine look that much better if ever beside it. You can attach a anchor to the bumper and call it a boat if you would like

I could be wrong, but I think there was a primrose CL with one, and it looked pretty good/like it fit well. I know this has been discussed numerous times, so searching might point you into a good direction. I think the major issue is our back window being curved on the sides. You might be able to buy one that is longer (deeper) than you want, then carve out the curve of the window to fit. Then you could just get some 3m tape and attach it. Sounds like too much work to me. Let me know if you find something that fits well. I'd be interested in trying it out.

as I said I wasn't making any statement on my opinion of it at all and as for being rude I think someone calling someone else out of the crowd when they give their opinion is pretty rude. Not to mention since you said "How bad 2 of u guys think it is" is joining me in with one persons opinion when I never stated an opinion is just wrong. I will be sure not to try and help you by telling you what I remember seeing and then going out and trying to find the picture I was talking about to show you and then tell you who it was who had it, I will just say someone had something like it "search for it" like I have seen others do

I actually had a custom roof spoiler that I bought from another 1st gen CL owner and people had mixed reviews about it. I sold the car a few months back but can post pics of what it looked like. The person I sold the car to, was in his 60's and prob didnt even care for it.
