Default Spoilers/Wings

Just wondering... on a 2004 Civic EX 4 door (gold) which spoiler or wing would look the best (in you opinion) for under $250?

Thanks!

you might want to put your flamesuit on lol... just so ya know...

anyway, just get something subtle that flows with the car. Please, do not get a universal wing like you see in the F&tF movies; they just look rediculous, in addition to actually slowing your car down and adversely affecting your handling. I can almost garuntee that most of the answers here will be something along the lines of "stock wing ftw!!1!11one!11" lol

anyway, do you have a body kit or anything, or is it basically a stock car so far?

Judging from your signature link i'm assuming your gonna put a park bench on your car right? Anyways stock spoiler is the way to go. Those park bench spoiler does nothing for a front wheel drive cars.

Thats not entirely true. Performance wise, yes they will actually slow you down but with my huge spoiler I will never losemy car in a parking lot again because the wing sticks up above the other cars, the other advantage is backing up, the ends ofmy spoiler are excellent reverence points to make sure I don't back up into anything. lol.

Could you guys pleasae post some links and pictures of what you think I should get?

My car IS stock so far. I am turning 17 today, so I just got my car (and my first job) not too long ago. However, I am looking to get a paintjob, spoiler/wing, body kit, and window tinting within the next 1-2 years.

by OEM/stock spoiler, they mean the spoiler on EX/SI's, like this:


(sorry for the small pic)

you can also find some pretty subtle spoilers, that are just lip like trunk lips basically, that add just a little style to your car, but other than that, most big spoilers get hated on since they are really ricey, althoughi have seen some cars with fairly large spoilers look okay....honestly i dont mind this TOO much, althoguh everyone else does haha:



theres actaully a blue 6th gen in my town with that wing, body kit and z3 fenders (along with a nice drop and some white rims) and as much as i want to hate it, his car is actually really sick IMO

Stock spoilers will cost you about $500 for the wing, then about $100 for install. Go stock, it will be subtle and look sleek, plus you won't be called a ricer

500?!? Where exactly are you buying one for that price? I'd say about $100-200 for a stock spoiler then I paid a shop $65 to install mine because I didn't know anything about cars when I bought it.
