Spoiler Or No Spoiler

okay, i just recently bought a TSX and im very happy with it.

i dont see too many TSX's with spoilers but for the ones i DO see, they are all small and look weak

sometimes i see lip spoilers but it doesn't do too much as far as enhancing appearance in my opinion...

i was thinking about adding a Evo spoiler or the ones you sometimes see on subarus's, you know the high spoilers.. (excuse my language, im new to this world of cars and modifications)

however i have not seen a tsx with a spoiler like that yet..

do you think it`ll look nice?

and considerin' the TSX is FWD, its almost useless to have a spoiler
but would a spoiler that big have an effect on speed?

thanks for your help

If you take a look through the gallery there are pics of some Euro-Rs with JDM DC5 spoilers on them. I dont think youll find and overwhelming amount of people that are too high on the regular spoilers...the concensus is that the lip soiler works the best on the car...but do what you like, after all it is your car.

Different strokes for different folks, but this definitely doesn't look good on a TSX.

No spoiler > OEM spoiler > high wing style spoiler

































MT > AT

SSM > all

I like the OEM spoiler, and sometimes wish I had gone for it. I'd rather use the $ on a new set of wheels, however.

I personally think

Lip spoiler > No spoiler > OEM spoiler > anything else.


AT = MT

These are not the same. There are small differences but I like the RSX spoiler. I am probably the only ont that thinks it looks good on the the TSX.

THe oem spoiler on the TSX makes the lights look squished more. I think the lip spoilers best suit the TSX, even though i really dont mind the RSX type spoiler on the car at all.

Afterall, it is your car, design her as you please!

Spoilers definately just for style as it is with almost any car on the street. Whatever look you're going for just get something you think is nice. I wanted the M3 Lip at first, but now I'd rather just keep it bare... and try to remove the damn dent I put in the trunk...
