how much did you find the roof spoiler for?

MoaarLow

Initially $179.99 Non Painted.
Now $79-$100 Painted
Trunk $125-$130 Painted

Im going to slowwwww down wl the modding, If i do springs, Im going to need spacers to follow up, Spacers are $250. Thats both spoilers..

Idk guys what do yall think?

Springs, Then Spoilers? Or Springs, then spacers?

ssjoeboe9

let me know what size spacers on stockies look best. Ill be doing it somewhere down the road

PyroDave

spacers depend the the width of the wheel and the offset

ed_423

Spring then spacers. A good stance willcatch more attention than spoilers

^ Only time I will agree with Ed. hehehe

MoaarLow

I haven't decided Myself, I'm still trying to figure that out wl my Stechs, I may Switch to an 18" Wheel as a Beater/Winter Wheel. Maybe some V6 Accord Rims. I think they will look Nice, Full Face. They are 18x8 So I will pick up Spacers that I'd be able to use with some 18x8's.

Along with the Drop, Too Low, and Low offset will cause rubbing.

Been thinkin the Same Thing. The stock wheels may look too sunken with out em

MoaarLow

Stock Wheels 17x7.5 +55
08-10 Accord Coupe 18x8 +55
ASpecs 18x8 +45

I need a set of spacers that I can run with all 3 of these sets.
Being dropped on S techs Does Anyone Know the lowest offset before rubbing?

I will use the Search feature when I'm home I hate using my phone. What's up with a AZine IPhone App ?

tobwac

10 front 15 back should not give you any problems i think but im not expert

MoaarLow

I was thinking the same, I just want to sit as flush as possible. with the stock 7.5 +55. But give me play room for the Aspec 8" +45

ssjoeboe9

so it looks like from 10mm in the front and 15mm in the back will sit me flush riding on stock wheels? I'll be sure to remember this

MoaarLow

Id love to see a pic of em on a 2nd gen "/
But after dropping i will decide how urgent the spacers are.
I May order the roof wing and spacers together. Ill give the Springs
2 weeks to settle and go for an alignment and get the spacers mounted.

Any one running a 15 up front 20 rear?

MoaarLow

For those considering spacers. According to the thread its 15mm up front and back.
The front looks good, the back still looks a little sunken in. I think 15 up fornt 20mm rear.

Could i run a 8" wide rim with a +25 offset?

18x8 +45 Aspecs would be +25 after the 20mm spacer correct?
Im still learing the whole Negative degree camber, offet, width tire size etc.
Theres a lot to understand when it comes to Stance.

MoaarLow

Blowing up my own thread. But heres 15mm front 20mm rear.
A for sure purchase at the end of the week. Sits so flush.

Now does any wheel expert know if ill have trouble with the S Techs?
They look amazing for stock height. I dont want the drop to cause rubbing

Need some help on this, I want to order my spacers asap so i can mount everything together

ssjoeboe9

Looks like I'll just wait until you figure out what looks best. Thanks for testing this out for me

MoaarLow

lol did you see the link i posted? 15mm up front 20mm out back?

Sits hella nice! I just dont want to rub in the rear.

MoaarLow

Im building this car to give it personality, Along with representing the Cu2 community in a positive way. With that being said, Id like a vote on which roof spoiler to get. Theres 2 different ones.

One Seems to have a little more shape and Curves Up,
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PAINTED-ACUR...ht_6674wt_1037

This one seems to have les shape and be a little Flatter.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ACURA-TSX-09...ht_4268wt_1270

Heres a thread with a Red Cu2 and the "flatter" Spoiler
https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tsx-photograph-gallery-144/basque-red-photoshoot-%5B56k-beware-%5D-840487/


I Personally like the first option. I like the Flare it has. Any Opinions?

tobwac

all of them look good i got the first one but have it as a lip spoiler

ssjoeboe9

My vote is for none, never really liked roof spoilers. Just my
I would say take one step at a time. Get your springs and spacers installed first. Take a break from spending money, clear your headlights for free, then take the pink out of your tails for free. Buy the lip spoiler for the trunk. Save money, buy some red overlays for your tailights for $8. Save money, paint your ASS black where the diffusers are. Buy a replica lip kit from ebay, paint match and install white LED strip. Wrap your grille in CF vinyl.... Shit, this just turned into my list of things to do haha.

MoaarLow

ii like the first because it makes the roof flare at the end, Second kinda looks droopy So to speak.. Desicions desicions!! Do you have pics of yours on your trunk?

Springs are being picked up Saturday, I don't want to order spacers until the car is lowered and I can measure to be sure the rear will clear with the 20mm.

Reason for me going wl the roof spoiler is that PWP BWP is very common on our CU2's. We all run the trunk lip, I want something to make my BWP different. So that MoaarLow comes up with people discuss a roof spoiler whether good or bad.

Diffuser, Trunk Bar, A Are all getting painted when the weather is a little nicer outside. I work 6AM-6PM Weekdays and Till 11pm or 3 on weekends. I need to find time on a nice Day to get it done. that's free tho so I'm okay on waiting.

No kit until bigger wheels. IMHO kit makes the body bolder and the 17"s look worse than on a stock lowered Body, Besides.. It's a Lease so a Kit might be out of the question.

Clearing Headlights I'd Love to do, But I'm scared Shitless to open them up and Re Seal them. If you guys would like to get together and Help out Id be more than willing to tackle it with my CU2 Bros. But not alone. Don't trust myself.

And as far as CF grille, Im staying Chrome, Again.. Just to be different.

I hope I mentioned all of your post. I'm at work and on a small break,
I do appreciate all of your Ideas I take everything into consideration. After All, that's what this forum is for!

Oh and Btw, Im not Rushing, But I don't want to take my time. Reason Being I may go back to school which means I will drop about $1000 a month in Income, So mods will stop as well. And I'm also trying to pick up a 600RR or R6 by the Summer time If all moves along with the CU2.

Comming from 300+ All Wheel Horse Sti to a CU2 I feel Sluggy. I need something to get that excitement Back, And my sisters Fiancé Tracks a Zx12r I believe. so he would take me out to the track where you're in full gear with paramedics by. I'm not one you'll see at 130 on an interstate trying to kill myself

ssjoeboe9

Dude u can do your headlights! If you were in central Florida I would help you out! Honestly it seems scary at first but it's really not bad at all. Me and my gf tackled it in about 4 hours. If you do decide you want to clear them out shoot me a pm after you have read kowloons DIY and I'll give you some tips too! Hardest part was taking the bumper off lol

PyroDave

i wish i was home lmao, i'd help you with the headlights! im down to try almost anything. PS: i may possibly be goin home this weekend

MoaarLow

I Dont know ..... It seems so intimidating.
And As far as the bumper Pyro removes his every time he messes with his fogs. So we should be able to tackle that. Im going to look at the DIY right now and see how i feel about it.
Omgg lol but im fucked. Tomorrow makes it officially 20 years exposed to this polluted NYC air

So ill be hammered and saturday i shall recover lol. Back to the shitty 7 days a week sunday morning.. So we have to actually plan a weekend so i can request off so we'd have the whole day to work on the cars

MoaarLow

Getting Lowered on Stechs tomorrow.

And i got my Metallic Red Foamposites so that was my spoiler and trunk lip money but ill still get one or the other, havent decided which first... Just taking it one mod at a time.

PyroDave

lmao you got some bday money comin in im sure. you can get the lips too haha. PS: keep me updated on the releases? seems like a good way to make some money. buy shoes, sell shoes i just don't have my kicks game up. i usually rock loafers, dress shoes, and boots. and i like suede hahaha. my only kicks are for workin out

MoaarLow

Lol i got a check for 110 Worked Hours, Income Tax Comming, And Bday $$..
BUT! I want my CBR600RR or R6 so im trying to stay in control.

And theyre gone bro. for sale online at 12:00 . i Checke dout at 12:01. ALL MENS SIZES sold out by 12:03. I tried for a second pair at 12:02 and i was already to late....

But it def a way to make money. You buy 2 pairs. One for you one to sell. Buy for $200. Resell for $400 next few days after release. You basically get your pair for free. You hjust have to know whats going to have a good resale value and worth flipping

MoaarLow

Sitting on Stechs

Before it was a 3.5 finger gap.. Now im down to about 1.5 rear if i remember correctly. and only 1 finger up front. and its 1 finger at a slight angle

tobwac

awesome looking really good now some time for spacers lol

MoaarLow

Thanks Bro. Ill measure tomorrow or Monday if the 15 and 20 would fit.
15mm should be about .6 inch and 20mm should be .8 inches, Correct?

just want someone to confirm this

tobwac

correct

ed_423

love it

MoaarLow

Thnks Guys, Just checked now, there is no Finger Gap, All of em can take a finger but it goes Upward.. And my rear so needs spacers!!

If anyone is wondering how the ride feels. I've driven 50 miles on them since. I will say the car is Noticably Firmer. Ofcourse you feel bumps a little more, But it just feels tighter. Less body Roll. Car is much more stable switching lanes at higher speeds and just hugging turns. A RSB is in my to do list. I'm sure that'll give me the feeling I want

Woot. I'd upgrade the tires too. Stock ones suck. Get some hankook v12 225/45 or 225/40 it will look better. Rsb is nice upgrade too. Good luck and let me know

MoaarLow

Thanks for makin this happen bro!
&& Idk about the tires, Id rather put that money to a new set of wheels. $500 in tires, $250 in Spacers I'm at $750. Another $200-$300 bucks I can have some aftermarket wheels with the specs I want and avoid using spacers. Still undecided.


But I fell in love wl my car again!
Rear away Bar in a few weeks. Have some goodies I need before then

ssjoeboe9

I love the fact that when you install the stechs the car looks how is supposed to now. Looks OEM, can't wait to install mines! Good job bro, insterested to see with spacers!

MoaarLow

Yes Sir. It sits at the fenders all around. The front dont look so bad, But the rears are begging for them. I have to measure out i dont want to rub with these huge tires. i hope 20's clear.

ssjoeboe9

This might be a stupid question but what happens if you just install springs on the front? make it look like a lexus or BMW the way it angles toward the ground.
