shoot, i did 2 strips of double sided tape, but the lower one the red backing paper snapped off a quarter way through...left it that way...been over 8 months now...
I tried the other day to pull the lip off to redo the tape for peace of mind and I couldn't...I was lifting the car up and didn't want to bend the trunk alignment.
You must have been sleeping with whomever sold it to you. Or it was your Dad. I guess those statements don't have to be exclusive though?
Neither. Dude I bought it from was in a hurry to buy something with a big V8 like a Camaro or Corvette or whatever that he had locked down and needed the cash to move on. Ran into him a few months later at Trader Joes and he eventually passed on that car and bought an AP1 S2k instead, same color and everything.

I've debated picking one up for my stock trunklid.
Do you have to swap out the trunk springs for these things or is that optional?
If I get the OE spoiler (strongly debating it but 3x the price is a tough sell), I'll just get the dealer to install so I don't have to buy that damn tool or kill myself with a flying spring.

I remember that one bro, just asking what he has. I'm likely going to get that one.

You don't need to do the trunk springs for just the AP1 rear lip spoiler. It's a crazy difference in weight between the CR wing and the stock trunk. I can tell you you definitely don't want the CR springs on the stock trunk (I've done it) that thing fucking flies up.
The AP2 wing I'm not sure if it comes with springs or not.
Trunk still pops up a couple inches, Sam...for $90 shipped and painted...skip out on one of your applebees date nights and call it a day.
Yeah, certain things are worth the money, but there's no way I'm paying Honda $350 for that little spoiler. This is one of the knock off things for sure.
I actually had an OEM one laying around for awhile but sold it.
smart man...
honestly, there's this ONE angle of the car that I actually prefer spoiler less.
Yeah, I feel the same way about the CR spoiler. Some angles I love it, some angles I hate it - actually sold my trunk/wing for a bit but bought it back.
The little OEM lip spoiler I think looks pretty good all around - what angle you dislike?
Ya I guess my question is the S2K for lack of a better term a poor mans NSX or are they two different beasts
That's a Dr Bob question.
I think they're different beasts. I've never driven a NSX, but always thought of them as a well sorted go-fast car that handles well. Whereas the s2k is an exceptionally well handling car that goes quickly.
But Dr Bob traded his s2k for the NSX and then talked about getting the s2k back if that tells you something. (It does to me)
