Anyone Installed Rear Wing Spoiler
I purchased a rear wing spoiler for my 2004 TSX. Question I have is has anyone installed the spoiler on their own? If so, can you give me a heads up on the problem areas to help make my life easier this weekend? (Memorial Day Weekend). I'm a little nervous about drilling the holes, etc. Any help would be appreciated!

Wing = Rice. Rice belongs in a bowl w/ kimchi, not on a car. There's minimal if any aerodynamic improvement. Damn thing weighs down the car for rear wheel drives and obviously the TSX is not. And to boot, it's uglier than Kathy Bates in Misery. As Susan Powter would say, "Stop the insanity!"

Styling is so subjective. If you like the product you purchased, than I say you install it this weekend as planned.
But calling the OEM or an OEM replica wing RICE is re-god-damn-dick-u-lous.
Lots of people on this board have the OEM styled wing and others love the lip style. Also, most people have a love/hate opinion of the OEM kit and the OEM wing. The bottom line is DO what YOU want.

Point taken. But BIG difference between a wing and a lip and a spoiler. I'm picturing those things like 12 inches off the trunk. It'd be the difference between wearing a fedora hat and wearing a fruitbasket hat to a formal.

Thanks gsclifton. That's EXACTLY what I needed. Wonder why the instructions didn't come in the box, though. Now the job will be a piece of cake.

This is why I like the forum. New jack had a question and not only did he get an answer but detailed printable instructions. He didn't ask for opinions.
But here is mine anyway. I dont like the OEM spoiler either, I went with the lip spoiler.
