Still looks weird but everyone has their own taste.

Not my cup of tea
but hey to each is own

Also, I'd question that wing's functionality.
Yes, it's awd so technically it Does help with rear downforce, but it's part time awd and it really kicks in when you corner, which happens at the speeds where that spoiler doesn't really get that much air...
Thinking out loud, that's all.

ya, the spoilers on these things would be for look only.

idk bout down pressure on the rears but it helps out a lot on rain or haze during track days...
i dont see that whirl of water on the back rather it spreads out further, i noticed it on my other
Vs that its so muddy or dirty whenever it rains... i have better rear view., i guess thats the function part!
as for cornering, rt4wd doesnt kick in all time, basically our Vs are fwd all the time unless you '
know how to jerk/activate it...

as for looks... to each their own....LOL! i have the oem one but i dont like how it looks on my V
also it doesnt do what this honda fit one does... may be i got lucky!?! for 30bux shipped....
cant go wrong w/ that!

Makes sense.
I haven't paid much attention to how much crap is being collected on the rear window.. Winter is close though - I'm sure I'll learn all about it very soon.

Im going to try a charge speed wing for a 91 civic hatch on my Crv

Skillachie

remember to post pics when you do

Rear spoilers on cars that turn are to plant the rear wheels during corners. It has nothing to do with acceleration traction. So, fwd vs rwd vs awd does not belong in a rear spoiler argument.

But, you are correct that no crv will see cornering speeds where that little wing provides any benefit.

Had our first snow today.
The stock wing had no negative effect on the rear window.
There was some mist, but no dirt or heavy blow by.
I am quite pleased and can confirm it's mildly functional.

PhilStubbs

I could see a rear spoiler having a positive affect on rear window mist.

first snow already?! i'm really not looking forward to it here yet in Nebraska. it was in the 80s less than 2 weeks ago, now it's in the high 50s if we are lucky

kiseliok

yep. Cleveland weather is unpredictable. and extremely annoying.

ap1jnky

Skillachie
