From your description, I'm assuming you're wanting the BYS (Back Yard Special) spoiler.

Like this?:

Good luck, hope you've saved your pennies.

That costs lots of money, and it looks stupid. Your money is better spent elsewhere on other things IMO, but if you want the BYS upside down look, you save your money until you have $600 for it. There are no imitations or replicas, so don't bother trying to save a buck getting one.

guess this is for me. what i tried to say is that i spent 500 on a perfect adult-owned eh2. just the Back Yard Special lip and spoiler is 600.

that was first.

then i said something about if you hit something on the road and crack the lip how expensive it would be to replace.

i THINK thats where i was going with that but im never sure...

So does a big *** aluminum wing adjusted all the way, but people don't do that because they know it doesn't look good. Just because it's expensive and built well shouldn't determine whether it goes on the car. I don't think anyone should suffer getting an ugly, expensive spoiler for the downforce. You can save money by committing to getting real downforce with a real formula wing, where function does indeed &gt; form.

Sorry, I can't help getting opinionated over this. If you personally like it better, go for it, but not for the "downforce."

how much downforce do you need at highway speeds??? (considering you obey the laws) It is a honda you are not going to be at speeds of 180 MHP. Plus just my $.02 I think it looks retarded. It looks like someone installed the old style duckbill upside down

for the record. i do not like this wing at all. in fact i dont even like the spoon duckbill replicas. only "spoiler" i like on the eh2/3 is the eg6 one. all one color and long led light.

but... in the same sentence i dont even like a lip. functionally, in my neck of the woods and on our terrible streets, a lip is just another thing that WILL get broken and cost me extra. hence my function&gt;form.
