no intention of biting or w.e
before i got my si, i originally liked the coupes without the spoiler
the front lip, i have to say i got from him tho lol

ehh, enjoy? lol

Mmm, wingless. Looks uber clean man, just needs a drop.

 

[inyong1988]

not feeling the si w/wingless. but its clean though.

 

[simply si]

thanks!
the spoiler on the car doesnt look bad at all, don't get me wrong
imo, i like it better without it, not just on the si, but most cars too

 

[brazilianguy]

looks good!
i've been thinking about taking off the trunk lip on my ex

 

[1chin3s3_b0i]

car looks super clean!

You are going to be wishing you had that rear wing when you hit 100 mph trap speeds.

You are going to be wishing you had that rear wing when you hit 100 mph trap speeds.

does it really make that much of a difference?
i dont have a wing and theres no problem 100mph + but then again i havent driven a car with a wing

 

[simply si]

there will be hardly any time where i will drive up to those speeds on the streets
IF i ever do, probably on a very open and clear area where no one is around lol
and it seems to me most spoilers are for show lol

The rr spoiler on the Si does in fact aid in performance, with only having a negligable affect on gas mileage. It is not there primarily for looks, although that is part of the equation for the Si. Honda will not put on a part that is factory installed without it having a benefit to the vehicle. We always confirm our aero designs and performance in a wind tunnel in controlled conditions. The majority of the benefit from the air spoiler is seen at higher speeds, where the effect of velocity gets closer to the effects of mass. For those of you who said it has no effect on a fwd vehicle, you are wrong. At higher speeds the benefit of a spoiler is seen in the overall handling and balance of the vehicle, not dependent upon drivetrain layout. So yes, the spoiler has a small benefit to the overall balance and handling of the vehicle, with a small gas mileage price.

Straight from an engineer at Honda. :wavey:

the wing keeps the back end down, and the car more stable, i knew that, but at what speeds are we talking about? i thought it would be 120+ mph not over 100, these little cars will go over 100 easy before you even notice it

 

[Sirbelch]

Areodynamics start to take effect at 75 mph.

 

[brazilianguy]

i didnt know that, well then the wing is a plus for speeders :vtec:

 

[simply si]

ok ok, scratch what i said
but what are the chances im gonna be turning at that speed and what not =p

It helps in a straight line too.
