Default Spoiler

Hey guys. I was planning to add a spoiler to my car and I have two questions here.

Does anyone know of any good cheap spoilers that I could get out there? (I was thinking an aluminum spoiler, but see the problem below).

Also, I'm not willing to mount this thing to my car by drilling holes in my car since I do plan to take this spoiler and add it to another car that I may get in the future (I'm sure most people don't want to by a used accord with holes in the trunk). So, does anyone know a good, safe, secure way of mounting a spoiler without having to damage my car?

Thanks.

When are you getting that other car?

If only a few months, then wait.

Unless your only going to be driving 10 mph then there is no way of safely mounting a spoiler without it coming off.

Well you could use some straps and strap it to the trunk and it won't go anywhere.

Well, it will be a few years or so till I get the next car, but I just really don't want to damage the current car.

Don't think there is a way to safely mount it without drilling holes. Best bet if you really want one would be to drill and have a body shop fill them in later. Or there are some cap thihngs that you can put in as a few people around here had them during the Fast and Furious era and have taken them off now and you can see the cap things they put in there. I used to like spoilers a fair amount and still do on some cars. Well I never liked the OEM ones but now I think most cars especially the Accords look cleaner without a spoiler but if you get one I like the fiberglass ones I know one is Terminator Style and not sure what the other one is called and I like the aluminum ones ok but they look a little off on this car.

if you need a spoiler so badly, go stock. Stock parts raise the value of the car, no damage will be done.

As much as I would like to I just can't see myself ever liking the stock spoiler.

I have the second one that you listed except it's a wings west but looks exactly the same. Those I like, but I don't like the aluminum ones all that much, especially on an Accord.

Yup the Wings West one is the one I like and almost bought but don't knom anywhere that sells it now I know nopi used to so I just used a picture of that one. I'm also not a huge fan of aluminum ones on the Accords but there are a few cars they look ok on and I think I would rather have one on my Accord than the stock one. Don't know why but I think the stock one and even the bigger ones that just go around like that are ugly.

stock or none. aluminum spoilers are as gay as that stupid movie that brought them their short lived popularity.

That deck lid one doesn't look bad. I think the Accords look good with either of the spoilers I posted or no spoiler.

Yeah, I was afraid of it. Looks like I will have to just mount one the proper way on my accord. That's cool though.

I like the pic kniob posted, that spoiler looks nice, but I dont think its a stock. What kind is that? Also, I forgot to add, I'm on a tight budget here, none of those crazy ricer spoilers, just something cheap and nice to stick on my 96 Accord.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your help.
