Default type r spoiler

i never had a spoiler on my car

That was my original plan also. I had a type R spoiler in hand. but I got creative and took off the wing, and BAM, my car had a new face. In terms of the hole...you can just drill it through, the only problem is finding the exact spot where. The last thing you want is for it to be off. Just for reference, the holes of the Type r spoiler fit exactly where the LS spoiler goes.


Look under your hatch, Acura marked where you have to drill,

I just put on a Type R spoiler on my car about 2 weeks ago, it is really easy. I did not have a stock spoiler either. As Vida mentioned above I used the indents that Acura provides on the sides of the trunk, as a reference and drilled the holes. At first I was also worried i might screw something up. But it was not hard at all. Took me less than 10 minutes.

There are already marks in the trunk on were to drill the holes. You'll see them when you open your trunk up, just drill them in the center and your good to go.

I had a type R spoiler. But then everyone started to get it(talking 3 years ago). It is really easy to do it. took me 10min to install.

Do black or Carbon Fib...

If you ad a black front lip clip, it'll look nice with your dark gray.

LOL, word... sometimes two tone isn't bad, just depends on how it's done.

Buy yeah, I understand... haha...

I'm thinking about replacing my doors, but I don't wanna have them a different colour for the time being, as like you said, "I don't wanna look like a rasta". haha

lucky u at least your colour is more common to deal with
i remember my friends was buying a silver teg also and it was pretty easy to see if the car has been painted in places because of the colour
try to get a door with the same paint.. hopefully it will match
keep in mind that over time colour fades a bit so it might look fresher or duller than your body paint.. good luck on your search for your doors
ill keep my eyes open for you, ps you should put a lip on your teg!

yeah, the "VSM" paint color is pretty common from what I've heard.

As for the front lip, I plan on buying a skirt package after lowering my car.

My rims look f*cking hideous right now without it being lowered... I have like a 2 inch gap on my front end and about a 1 inch in the back.

VSM paint is common. The problem is that silver is also the hardest to match. I had the same issue with my teg, i was gonna paint the front end cuse it was horrid, but you'll see that if you do the shades will look different due to fading from the older paint and such. So i would've had to do the whole body, which I was gonna do..until my car went to the grave. Lol.

Dima, i like the way your lip matches, looks nice man. My sugestion is a drop. That will set the car off really nicely and will compliment the stealth look of the car.
