Even though this should be in appearance I'm kinda wondering the same. I was wondering if installing a c/f alum style wing on it w/ hurt. Do you have to reinforce it? And I heard your not supposed to drill though the c/f.

people drill c/f hoods for hood pins. you just have to be really careful when do so.


but i wouldn't recommend putting a wing on one. actually i would never recommend putting a aluminum style wing on anything.

If you put a heavy spoiler on a cf trunk it will start to warp it, and cf really doesn't like being drilled so you have to be careful when you do it. I agree with not putting aluminum on any car.

hood, trunk wing same ****, but if a hood trunk etc can handle driving vibc, your subs wont do a thing to it unless your pushing like 15,000 watts plus but i dought that in a civic. if you try drilling in it you must you a high speed drill and not like a dewalt with high low setting its a one of a kind drill with a high speed carbide bit, if you dont the clear coating will crack and look like **** and itll fade
