this question would be better answered in the Integra forum. But anyways, why bother with a replica? Just buy an OEM JDM ITR spoiler for like $150?

There is no reason to go replica when a replica needs to get painted anyways. A used OEM wing will be a few bucks more.

I know a guy parting out a GSR, that had OEM optional sideskirts/rears/Type-R front lip, and Type-R rear spoiler.

Unfortunately, the sideskirts/rears were spoken for literally 5 minutes before I inquired about them... $200.

I think he only wants $100 or so for the Type-R spoiler, I'll get up with him for you and find out.

Oh, and post this in the correct section next time.

Order from Password JDM son. They have used authentic ones. And you don't have to worry about getting screwed over by them, they are a big business, and they'll take care of you.

A link, so you don't have to search:

^ If $150 is too much to spend on one item to make your RS look like an R, quit now.

Or you can sell me your optionals for extra money.

eh. i'm a cheap ***. why add something that:

1. will cost more than you're willing to pay (from what it seems)
2. will draw attention to yourself (from thieves, ricer boys that will rev on you and/or make fun of your car for being a "hype-R," and cops)
3. doesn't add toooo much to your car since your car looks great as it is

do what you want, but i'd spend the minimum 200 bucks (wing/s+h/paint) on something else. if you go for the wing, just find one that's OEM and reasonably priced. GL

thanks for the advice but i still want the wing. im not cheap by any means. i make retarded money. i just dont want to pay for an oem one online and get a replica. now that i have the link to password jdm i dont have to concern myself with that. as far as thieves, im a honda owner. it comes with the teritory. ricers already rev up at me every time im in it and dont worry guys, i promise i wont put red emblems and a tyre r badge. since i got four bolt holes in my trunk, i might as well put the wing. i dont think it will look tacky at all. also thanks for the props on the car. it will be boosted in january
