Default chargespeed wing dimensions?

Well since I'm too poor to buy a real Chargespeed wing, I thought I might try to make my own. I was wondering if anyone had any idea on the dimensions of the wing, like how long or how tall it needs to sit above the roof. Any help would be awesome and i might make a how-to if it turns out.

Second pic isn't chargespeed it's TRA-Kyoto and they don't make the kit for the public.

They have a fiberglass wing on ebay that is like 150$ shipped and it's exactly like a Chargespeed,J's,Livesport wing but it's not a complete wing per se. It's like a OEM Wing Cover (just goes over your OEM Spoiler with 3M Tape)

i know the second one was a tra-kyoto but i just wanted to give the people another view of what i am talking about. i know chargespeed isnt the only ones who make this style wing. I plan on making it a full replacement from the oem wing. that cover over the oem wing is just non-sense. but if anyone has a chargespeed, j's, livesport wing could you please measure the dimensions of it and get back to me.

If this interest you, this is what I did for my 4dr.

https://honda-tech.com/forums/showth...2693675&page=3

Not much for show but it's the look that I wanted for like $19, it's stainless steel that I got for $1.25 a pound.


The top to bottom is 7"


The width is 42 1/2"


The back to front is 11 1/3" as for about the roof mine's about flat with the roof with a little lip at the end.


Hopefully it was of some use for you!

Yeah, you can get the kit cheaper at Harbor Freight Tools, like 15$ for the gun plus an assortment of rivets.

Alright, so i tried my skills at microsoft paint and keep in mind im no pro at computer picture editing (especially on a laptop) haha. This is just a rough draft of what i had in mind. Mainly i want the bottom part of the wing to be an inch or 2 lower than the normal chargespeed (just to mix things up). Im also going to try to keep the stock oem rear spoiler light involved with the setup. any feed back would be awesome im trying to make something you guys would like to see as well.



sorry if its hard to see, ill try it at a few different angles as well.

I tried my best at different angles let me know what you guys think.



here are the 2 lengths i was thinking. I figured id make 2 to give you guys an idea of what it could look like.



and the rear brake light incorporated with the wing, over kill or worth for the wing?
