The type r wing on HB ST

Milo & Miles · May 17, 2017

Just checked my hatch. Sorry for the quality of the pics, darn backlight. There are 3 divets. Two visible and one right behind the gas strut hinge. Are these the bolt points for the type R wing?

How much hate from our own community do you all think I'd get for slapping on the type r wing on my HB ST? I'm most likely still gonna do it but just curious to see where u all stand.

1) Make sure it is DRILLED on and not just adhesive.
2) You MUST take off the top roof spoiler!
---> There's a reason the Type-R took that off and added vortex generators... look at the side profile height... you'll see why.
---> If you don't... you'll ruin the airflow over the rear wing and cause more drag than it is worth.
3) As you're read on a few other posts... you're down force will be off unless you add front splitter and side skirts to even the total down force.

I'll admit I wanted the Type R but like I said Time & Money is the reason why I couldn't wait for it.

I will get the Type R Wing when it becomes available. I don't buy Replicas.

I agree with the BADGES but then I again I'm DEBADGED (frankly, I hate them.

The St has the front under spoiler and side skirts already so I'd just have to swap the roof for the vortex. I get where ur coming from.

I'm in the same boat. Won't be putting any fake badges but I liked the looks and wing of the CTR. Once my dealership gets their parts for the CTR's I'll order one.

Is there anything that won't fit into this car?
