17 people have looked at this and out of all these people no one knows or has any of these wings. kinda funny as to how these are the most common wings on the EG that honda - techers get

They are different.

The first one called the "duckbill" wing was originally designed by Spoon as a carbon fiber piece without a light. Since then, there have been many knock offs made out of fiberglass, and with LED lights incorporated.

The other one you mentioned is a JDM SiR piece. It's "similar" to the standard issue "wing" (if you can even call it that) that comes on USDM Civic hatches, but with a little bit of a difference. It sticks out a little further than the USDM standard issue, and includes a thin LED third brake light. With this JDM piece, it does not angle up like the "duckbill" but stays 180 degrees flat/horizontal.

If I find a good picture of the JDM SiR wing, I'll reply again, so that you can compare.

Hope this helps.

First one is the Wings West duckbill...

It really depends on what look you are going for...So in saying that, it is up to you.
