Has anybody purchased HFP Side Spoilers in a different color than their model?

Hi all, considering purchasing HFP Side underbody spoilers in Rallye Red. Has anybody done this before, or have you seen pictures of this?

I don't believe this car uses the HFP spoilers, but I'm looking to emulate the look:

What’s the benefit of the under spoilers? Or is it just cosmetic.

in order to emulate that look you'd want to buy a side splitter rather than the whole HFP side skirt. you'd ruin the whole look of the car by ordering a different color.

In theory they -side skirts, front splitter, rear diffuser, canards- provide downforce, however, most people that have these modifications aren't utilizing them as they don't reach often enough the speeds at which these mods are effective, so they're mainly for cosmetic, but I agree they do look cool.

Yeah doing it for the cosmetics. Just double checked all the parts. It's too bad the hatchbacks seem to get the best oem cosmetic support...

Here's a hatch that has what you're talking about.

I doubt I'll ever get over my butthurt that the OEM window trim does come in black... only for the hatchback.

Well maybe we'll get Si hatchback for 2022 model year seeing as they're taking away the coupe

I don't have high hopes that Honda will suddenly realize there's a market for a hot hatch that falls between "tuned commuter" and "road-legal track car" that isn't going to hurt their CTR sales.

I've seen plenty of posts on here wishing the Si was a bit hotter, I've never seen a post wishing the CTR was less track ready.

Good point. I really like the CTR, it's aesthetics are just a bit too aggressive for my tastes.

If they'd let us option the Si the same as the Accord I would've happily paid another $4,600 just for the 2.0T @ 252hp. I don't have a garage, it'll be 1-2 years before I get mine built, and I'm ok driveway parking a $30,000 Civic, but not a rarity like a CTR.

I agree it looks a bit, extra, at least for a guy who's pushing 40.
