Default RSX-S Rear Bumper Spoiler

I am checking around for a simple but lower more aerodynamic rear bumper spoiler and was wondering if anyone knew some good quality and simple design ones? I am planning on getting the Greddy GRacer front lip spoiler and the factory side skirts for the other body mods. I saw the Mega DC-5 rear and it looked pretty nice but have not found a good enough picture and also noticed that it was fiberglass and not urethane? Anyone have any good suggestions...

Why don't you just get the type R body kit. Looks smooth and actually helps with aerodynamics believe it or not.. heheh. I am not into big and flashy bodykits, but I guess to each his own. Good luck bro. Every consider an all carbon fiber body kit? just a thought..

I'm not big into the flashy style body kits either, I just wanted it to be lower to the ground with better aerodynamics and look good and clean lined. Also, when you say the Type R package, are you refering to the package you can get from the Acura dealer when you purchase the RSX-S or is it a different package? And about the all carbon-fiber body kit, who makes those and where could I find one?

you know, it all depends on how flashy you want to go. bomex has a great rear bumper...aggressive though. ings and c-west have awsome ones too and they are a little less agressive than bomex. my next choice would be a kit from a manufacturer out in japan called charge speed. not many people have seen or heard of this company, but i think they might have what you are looking for. these are my choices.

about the carbon fiber kit, not sure who really makes a body kit made out of carbon fiber and that's out on production for the public. i know that ings did a carbon fiber front end but not sure if it was proto type or if they really offer it as a production model.

good luck with your findings!

Hell no, do not go with that rip off acura is calling thier " performance package". That little package cost around 42oo.oo and that does not include install. You can add on another 1-2k for that as well.

This is the type R body kit.



That is the type R kit.
As for the carbon fiber bodykit, you can go to http://www.jspeconline.com and ask them if they can get it for you. I get all my carbon fiber from them. Good luck.

Maybe he really doesn't know. I wouldn't see the problem asking since there are more RSXs w/o factory spoilers than there are with them.

The stock RSX optional spoiler is reminiscent to the shape of the spoilers off the previous Integra GS-R.

The factory performance spoiler is probably the only thing that's actually "Type R". It's the same as the one you see in the pics of the DC5R above.

Here's an okay example. It's mounted a bit higher than the GS-R spoiler.
