Default Spoiler choices with CF trunk, many options

If you have pictures of any of these spoilers on a prelude of any combination I would be very grateful if you would post them.

What do you guys think about this? I will post a new thread to get some fresh opinions too. Each spoiler will have a description of the look that is possible.

MY CAR, spoiler choices and pics below







High rise CF spoiler. I think with my back end, it will look sporty without being ridiculous


Oem Spoiler, pretty obvious, would like to see pics




non cf as close as I can find to replica of type s replica. I would paint it gloss black and see if it would work well with the black gloss 1" thick outline I have around the entire trunk




It has the exact dimensions as the oem spoiler and does fit.



mid rise, same as above, would paint gloss black. There is a close up picture of the black outline on the trunk to see what I am talking about.





Pictures would be great, I have searched so many pictures and still have not found these combos. Especially with a cf trunk.

Changes or additional mods:

-As mentioned above stock headlights and tail lights. Is there a place to buy already modded retro lights?

-front and rear original lip kit on the way (used from ebay, great deal). Will be purchasing a side skirt in near future.

-Changing exhaust from can to a cleaner stock type look vibrant street performance turbo exhaust with dual tips to come out just inside the opening in the rear lip.

-poly eyelids painted silver (same color as two tone on upper grill and fog light covers)

-Dark tint window deflectors

-carbon fiber spoiler stock trim? Need thoughts on this. I like the look without the spoiler from the side, but from the back it looks like it's missing something and needs something to tie everything together with the cf trunk.


Thank you

replica mugen one looks nice. i also think no spoiler would work well with a CF trunk.

Thanks. I am not such a fan of the mugen one for my car. Don't get me wrong, I think it flows well and is a beautiful addition, its just not for me. I am looking for something taller and sportier than stock without being ridiculous. I would like to see a car with a cf trunk and the tall cf wing.

What do you think about painting one of those two non cf wings black?

i'd probably have to say 1 of the first 2 you posted, would work well since you don't like the mugen one, and you don't want to be wingless.

I think that painting a spoiler black just to have it "match" the cf trunk would look cheap and kinda off.

I used to have the stock spoiler on my cf trunk, it looked really good set off a different color.

When I said match, I meant to match the 1" black outline stripe I have painted gloss black all the way around the trunk. There is a close up in one pic.

It looks funny with the oem spoiler body color and the cf trunk. I taped it on there and took some pics, something just didn't look right. I did like the idea, and it does look good on white, and dark blue colors. Here is a pic

if you're going to paint it black why don't you get some cf-wrap and use that instead?

either mugen or no spoiler at all unless if you can get a taller one to hold on with double sided tape? I have my mugen one holding real good with 3M heavy duty tape, and it's been on for years with no issues. No need to drill holes in a perfectly good trunk, in case I may want to sell it later

Yeah, I am sure the tall one will have no prob staying on there with the tape I got. I wouldn't drill holes for sure. I am not a huge fan of cf wrap, plus the price of actual cf and the fiber glass spoiler is very close so might as well get the real cf.

Its hard to tell without seeing it on another lude, but with the lip kit installed, I think it will look good with the tall spoiler.
