Default Trying to find a Spoiler...

I really want to get a spoiler for my car but, can't find anything that I think would look good on it. I was thinking of just getting the OEM spoiler that comes on the other style accords.



There's my back end, can anyone help me figure out what would look good?

Well I could tell you that the dual tips and the altezza's dont look good, but youre looking for a spoiler.

I havent seen a spoiler that fits the accord at all. They all look tacky and dont match the body lines. Even the OEM spoiler doesn't look right on the 6th gen. You dont really need a spoiler on a FWD car anyway, at least at normal driving patterns.

The 6th gen is pretty rounded in body styling and I havent seen ANYTHING.

a molded trunk lip would look sweet....but not with those horendous tail lights.....

ben, thats actually a Thermal R&D exhaust.....and i think it looks awesome on 5th gens.....6th gens have no rear rear lip, which means they REALLY need a single tip

Yea something looks FREAKY about a dual tip on a 6th gen...5th gens are ok cause of the style

Yea a molded trunk lip looks nice as hell, it'd be hard to find a good one that fits the exact dimensions.

Yeah, ive looked at a million spoilers and nothing would look half way decent. It was worth a try thanks for the feedback. What do you mean by trunk lips, can you show me a picture of what you mean?

Hey Casmello.

If you want an OEM brand new painted in the same green color as your car, I have one for sale. It's brand new, and it has never seen the road or been installed.

I've not seen a spoiler on a 6th gen that looks better than the car without it. Plus, it's completely useless and counter-effective. On a FWD car, you need downforce at the front-wheels. They just add drag.

But if you find something that looks good, it's not going to make much difference, especially at lower speeds. Just for the love of god, don't get a gaudy wing

Don't they have a lip for the 7th gen accord 2dr. I've seen them for the 4 door, but I don't know if that will fit the 2dr. Are they hard to install, or should a body shop handle it?

No my friend. That bumper made the spoiler look worse.
