sounds like a random act of violence.

i thought it was too .. but there was nothing wrong with my car .. no scratches .. no dents no ding .. it didn't get broken into or anything ..

Re: (taney)
 

sounds like someone trying to steal it and they broke it in the process, typical......

And a great way to turn a good day shitty.

yeah .. it's devastating man .. the guy can't even use the duckbill anymore .. nobody benefited from this selfish act .. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emdgust.gif

That's an interesting way to look at it. However, it were me in this situation, I would be glad that the thief got away with an unusable part as opposed to the possibility of him actually benefiting from my dismay over having a part stolen off my car.

As a matter of fact, since he stole it anyway, I'd be glad he broke the damn thing and I just laugh at people like that.

Yep, I got mine stolen right in front of my house. They stole that and my ECU at the same time. Out of all of the stuff I have, I never imagined they would take my damn Spoon duckbill!! Thieves suck https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emthdown.gif

Look at this way, I could have been worse. The day after fathers day, I had just fixed all the probs with my turbo hatch. Was the most perfect suny morning on the way to work. Speakers sounded better. Food tasted better in the morning. Come out on my first break to move my car........ stolen and stripped. Bare shell on the side of the road next to a cemetary (so proper)

Uh der https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmilep.gif I meant I'd rather have my stock painted one than some "steal me" wing thats not worth it IMO.

i didn't get the spoon wing because it mainly looks nice .. i got it because it's something that works .. the slope actually puts downforce for the rear end at sufficient speeds .. but yeah .. it sucks that this has to happen ..

my ebp 93 dx hatch was equipped with a Carbon spoon sports duckbill, someone tried to steal it, in the process they cracked the shit out of it and i guess decided a cracked duckbill wasnt worth anymore time.

Re: has anyone gotten their DUCKBILL ripped off? (SkoundrelUSA)

Price you gotta be willing to pay for a $400 essentially worthless part. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emsad.gif

Whether you pay $400 for it, or pay $40 for it...It still sucks to get your duckbill stolen. Some of us like to buy the good stuff to start out with https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif

Kinda cruel to ask, but, you got any pictures of the damage..?
Pictures are always more fun.

And whats with this "good stuff"
My abs duckbill grabs as-much downforce as your carbon one... and probably weighs less https://honda-tech.com/forums/images/smilies/emthup.gif But... i guess it's not as blingy as Carbon Fiber https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...s/emsmileo.gif

*whispers* Did he say carbon fiber!? *whispers*

you're serious?

yeah .. you feel the downforce .. but it's very minor .. unless you really know exactly how your car feels without it .. you can't tell with it .. but it does work .. you can do some research on it and find out ..

well .. if it slopes as high as the spoon one .. then yeah .. but most replicas aren't sloped as high as the spoon one .. so not much downforce if you use the replicas ..
