New Spoiler
Heard this would add 35 rear wheel horse power.... 
Makes a nice suttle difference, infact i walked into a store after i put it on and when i came back out i had totally forgotten about it..
Let me know what you think.

I like the rims! I like the whole black and white theme. Next time you take pics, could you get some brighter shots of the actual wheel?
Also, I think the side body moldings are a bit too much. It would look a lot better without them, but I'm sure you got them for a reason. I like the overall look of the car though, everything complements each other.

As for the side molding, it was on there when i got the car..i want to remove them, but i have already had to buff out two different colored marks from people hitting my doors with thier doors. Once i can park some where that isnt full of idiots they will be removed.
Thanks for the compliments.

Now with i-Vtec
Sorry not feeling that spoiler. Mainly because it doesn't fit properly. If it fit better then it would be subtle but the gap just makes it look..... (I dunno what word to use here and not come off sounding like a dick).
on the rest of the car though.

^^ it just doesn't fit right. if it sat flush with the sides then it would look better, but it just doesn't look right as it is

It really isnt as noticable as that picture makes it out to be. Also keep in mind that i plan on painting my roof to color match my wheels...along with the spoiler, so that should "hide" the gap and make it look like it just tapers off the roof. But seeing the one that KenUA6 has, ill be getting that one once he gives me the info.

oh man, can you return it? why do you want fake carbon fiber on the car?
eh, at your age, i understand, 5 years ago, i woulda done the same thing.
just a heads up, next time ask your fellow forum members on advice if you cant find it...
that is what we are here for, to help each other out...
maybe we coulda saved you some dough and got you the correct size the first time.

dont take offense, i meant by ur age as the impatient part. not being able to check around, search, wait for opinions, stuff like that. like i said, it's the same thing i woulda done in the past, so i can't really knock it.
at 7:12 pm you said, "ok tomorrow im gonna order this one", less then half and hour later, you got it.
please share your ideas, ask questions, seeks opinions from others. that way you can get some help, and most importantly, you can help us out. the more ideas we talk about, the more heads get in on the idea and make it better. or maybe it's something that already been done in the past and the research is already done for you. or maybe a member comes up with an idea off of another member's idea.
welcome to the forum, glad to see you have over 100 posts in the past 2-3 months.

OK so you beat me to the punch. I was going to chance the Carbon Fiber roof spoiler but never got around to it. Looks really good! Can't wait to see more pics. Looks like I am going to go for it too now. So you ordered a Civic size? Someone else suggested a 45" spoiler. Same size? Any difference?
One more question; the generic black lip spoilers are bendable but I was not too sure about the carbon fiber one, I was suspected they may be more rigid and not able to contour to the glass. Looking at the pic I see that it is in fact bendable and fits no problem right?
My thought is the carbon fiber will look 100% perfect on my anthracite and match or 100% yuck and clash. In case it dosen't look good I'll have it painted body color.

I guess i should have been more specific. It is a faux carbon spoiler that really bends well to form the curve. When i get better pics ill be sure to show the "weave" in detail. From a distance of 2 or more feet it looks real, but once close enough its easy to tell if you know what youre looking for. Next is to paint my roof black to match the black strips on the roof, i may or may not paint the spoiler as well. This spoiler is 45'', or 115cm. It is a tight fit for sure, the ends of the spoiler butt up to the sides of the roof.
Ill discribe it more tomorrow with better pics.
