What kind of spoiler you prefer?

Hi guys,

I just wonder whether you guys prefer a stock spoiler to be on your TSX? Or the aftermarket one? I have the M3 style lip.

Please share your thought!

I actually prefer NO spoiler whatsoever. I think the car looks cleaner without it. I especially dont like the stock spoiler.

I have the same thought before.... but the M3 lip is very low profile but make the car look nicer and that is why I put one on.

you should make this a poll. I'd have to vote for a lip spoiler. I don't like the stock spoiler at all.

I vote for no spoiler. it looks good without it. plus rear spoilers aren't needed on fwd daily drivers.

Have you noticed something so far ? - no one has said anything good about the OEM one.
In fact there has been several cases where people asked to swap trunks just to get rid of their OEM wing.

This has been discussed before - several times over I think.

My M3 style > OEM wing

The only spoiler I 'd consider is the lip spoiler, but IMO wings on sedans suck. Completely breaks up the clean lines of the car.

I agree..... I have not seen any good one so far but except the M3 style lip. I wonder what they use on the Euro Accord... anyone has any idea?

Euro Accord is devoid of spoiler - duck tail and low-level wing with integrated brakelight are optional extras.
Same for Euro R.

Not sure - like it slightly more than Spoon's on an aesthetic level, but the Spoon one is a nicer fit at the ends, plus the little overlay down makes it look a tad more professional.
Tough call, but I think the ducktail type gives just enough of a hint of sportiness without looking too obvious.

No spoiler is best IMHO. But, if you must, go the way of TSX_Road_Warrior.

i have the stock oem spoiler on my car and i think it's alright. it came with the car so i'm not complaining. the lip spoilers do look good also. then again, no spoiler at all does look cleaner. either way it's all good.......just personal preference.

Oem.

Call me simple, but I like the OEM spoiler. Got it on my carbon gray and never wished i hadn't. the TSX looks super smooth without any or with that little deck lid thing, but the big OEM spoiler looks great in my opinion.

The other ones looks much better, more LIKE a spoiler.

Guess I'm one of the few who loves the OEM wing spoiler. The car isnt complete without it. I don't like the lip ones.

And of course it has zero functionallity, just dont tell that to the people who strap airplane wings to their civics...
