I had the same dilema as you... couldn't find a perfect fake spoon duck bill with the nice steep curvature... that is until I found the one I have on now.... genuine spoon. I actually went through at least two fake ones that fit like crap and looked ugly as $#!+. Got tired of wasting my money and invested in a real one.

my friend and i both have vis and the fitment isn't THAT bad. i got lucky and mine fits flush and the angle is good. my other friends is a little off but not too bad.

i got another friend with the jdmshit one and its completely flat.. but it looks really good besides that.

Mine is a VIS one. At least I think it is. It looks just like the Password JDM VIS one top and bottom. Fits pretty good and the angle is much steeper than most other duckbills. Quality is top notch too.

I bought it from a Honda-Tech member less than a week ago. I'll snap some pics for you tomorrow if I have a chance. The fittament is good, but you can tell it's a knock off when you look up close.

Its hard to see the curve on this pic... but the back of the roof slopes down and then it slopes back up on the spoiler. I'll take a better pic tomorrow. (I know my car is dirty as a pig, its been raining hard lately)

I've been trying to find out how this guy got his wing to tilt up like that. I IM'd him but he hasn't responded yet. It's the OEM wing I believe and he probably just used some spacers. I think it looks pretty tight and would be an alternative to spending money on a carbon fiber wing.

Yeah my friend's is just like that. He just stuck a couple of washers in there, and it sticks up nicely, and u get to keep the 3rd brake light.

Yeah, I just did it. There are four bolts that hold the OEM wing down to the trunk. I just lifted the two the rear and it tilted the wing up just nicely. Next time I wash my car, I'll post some pics.

Here's mine. You can tell it's not an authentic Spoon by the way it doesn't fit perfect, but it's good enough for me. Has a slightly more steep angle than others.
