anyone know where i could find a carbon fiber duckbill spoiler for an ep3? Maybe ijust haven't been lookin hard enough. THANX!

 

There is no duck bill, per se. Rather, you can get the Mugen wing, Kaminari wing, Type-R wing, Buddy Club wing, WW wing and a few others I'm sure I'm missing. They are not like the old duckbill Spoon wings if thats what you're referring to. The closest thing to being unpronounced is the Type-R wing IMO. Here's a pic of mine:

 

 

Looks pretty sweet. Cant go wrong with carbon fibre, I always say.

 

I wouldnt mind seeing a stock replacement carbon fiber lip or slight duck bill like there are for the EG and EK. Im personally not a big fan of the CTR style wing. Its just a little too big in the wrong directions for my taste.

 

im not a big fan of the mugen or type r spoiler but it looks good on yours i guess i should have been more specific. i guess nobody makes one for it. i like the one that i have on my ek, and thats what i was looking for. i have the erebuni duckbill. i guess ill keep looking and hope for the best. thanks anyway though.

What is it that you're going to be doing w/the EP3?

The EG benefits from a ducktail from about 45 miles per hour up to about 140 miles per hour. Above that speed, and you are making yourself find more horsepower to overcome the effect of the ducktail.

The EP3 needs a roof extension to move the airflow turbulence farther out from the car, so that it has less effect. An EG-type (Spoon type) duckbill would have an adverse effect on the car around 70-80 miles per hour, and you would need more horsepower to get the same top speed.

If you're really going to be going racing in an EP3, consider just putting the USDM rear spoiler on the car.

my current project is to fabricate a duck bill for a ep3. then if anyone likes it, i may produce a few. still in the early stages, therefore, no pics yet.

i hate duckbills, every car i see with it looks so ugly

 

I don't care what it looks like, as long as it makes sense.

 

yup, but good thing it doesn't mke sense on the EP3

 

I just saw that there is a duckbill-ish like wing on the OEM Honda Civic Vi (in Australia).

 

That doesn't look bad at all. Also looks like it's not so radical a duck tail that it would have too adverse an effect at high speeds.

 

that's craptacular.

doesn't look like it will fit either. rear window looks different as do the shape of the surrounding pillars

 

whats the V1 civic? is that some australian awesomness that we dont get?

 

it's one of those 4 door ep3 looking civics lol. glad we don't get that. It would be a stationwagon like the Mazda Protege 5

 

This is an old thread but figured why not post in it others will search if they are like me and want a duckbill for their ep3. There is a link i found of a guy that has made his own duckbill. Hopefully he will start selling them soon.

He only made one and sold it. Your only option is to make your own

 

does anyone search anymore.

This search engine isn't the best but Google still works.

no offense, but did you even read the title/original post (which is 7 years old btw)

a "duckbill" does not = spoiler in general.

OP was referring to the spoon style spoiler on EGs which nobody makes for the EP3. Only that 1 custom one listed above.

 

i just found this site with carbon fiber wings for an ep3:

You can pretty much find every single one of those wings in any other shop across this planet selling Honda aftermarket parts...
Also, 10 year old thread bump. I'm pretty sure that's a record
