I bought a civic type r spoiler about a year and 5 months ago off ebay for like 200. Painted and Installed it on my ILX and a few weeks ago the base of it cracked on the left side due to a snow storm. Had to uninstall it today as the base was fully cracked and wasn’t connected at all. Anyone know where I can get an Oem type r spoiler, according to the internet its impossible and you can only get replicas. Im scared of buying a replica after this experience. Before After 🥲
Man that's too bad. I bet it looked great. I'd like something other than OEM A-Spec, but never had the balls to do something as wild as the Type R Spoiler. Props to you though. I've always wondered how it'd look.
About the attachment, I'd say let a body shop have a crack at it. Fiberglass/Bondo is not structural at all, But if it was fiber reinforced epoxy resin in it, it'd hold like a champ. Epoxy with Carbon Fiber shards in it, or Expoxy with metal bits in it (JB Weld) would do wonders to keep that thing back on. I say take another swing at putting that thing back on with some reinforcement.

Honestly I loved the way it looked, I got some hate for it but I couldn’t care less. I cant justify paying 300-400 bucks for the a spec trunk lip, It doesn’t look flashy/unique enough for me. I took it to a body shop they said they couldn’t fix it but I am looking at other options. Appreciate the recommendation tho I will pass it along to the shop.
Take into consideration the angle of the wing next time. You will created a lot of drag and can be back to another broken wing. The other member above said it. Looks like it was creating a lot of drag.
