well let me know how it turns out i like the spoiler

I love it. The installer did a great job

No vibration noise and it's not even visable in my rear view mirror which is awesome

To the people that have done or plan to do self installs my installer recommended using 1 inch spacers to avoid damage to the hatch from over tightening

I have zero complaints with mine, it looks great and has no flex or vibration. Just take your time installing it and do it right.

1" spacers?

1" spacers?

That's what he recommended to avoid over tightening the spoiler

1" spacers? Meaning 1" washers? To distribute the load applied when torquing the spoiler bolts down? I just need some clarification before I get mine back from getting paint.

I think he meant washers. 1 inch spacers would lift the spoiler up making a noticeable gap

Anybody know an experienced body shop around SoCal to get this installed?

Where did he recommended to put the washers? Between the hatch and wing? Or from inside the trunk where you put the bolt through?

If you are nearby the the 626 area - South El Monte, you can get it done here:

Ask for Don and he'll help you out. I was the first one to get it done by one of his guys here, so highly recommend.

no, I think he meant spacers inside the hatch.the screws dont sit directly to the inner side hatch panel.but there are plates hanging to hold the screws.
if you over tighten the srews, it’ll pushdown the hatch panel.

So, when I installed my spoiler I did not have a template and struggle a little getting it installed. I developed a template but should only be used as a guide as it may not be 100% accurate. It should get you very close. Use at your own risk. Download the template here https://goo.gl/GCvtqe

If you use it, give some feedback. If it needs to be corrected, please do and share it here for the benefit of others.

This is only for the EXACT REPLICA Type R Spoiler sold here https://goo.gl/eWHjoF
Except I paid $180

So I just had a thought, with there being so many replica spoilers, I’d assume that templates would be just as diverse. So I figured that the best solution would be to use template with your wing. But whenever I go to click any links, it says it no longer exists. I hear a lot of people give you credit for your template. So if you could re-link where you got your wing, I’d feel 100x more confident lining it up with your template.

Hi rec.life!

Here is a new link, I hope it helps. https://fk7civicx.page.link/Type-R-Spoiler-Template

I can't stress this enough, when I created it, I did not have a template. I suggest that once you mark the spots where you are planning to drill, etc. you set the spoiler (assembled) over it so that you are satisfied with the final placement. There is only the right side because you should be able to flip it around and use it on the left side. Let me know if you have other questions and thanks for the feedback.

Oh, if you can make it better, please do so and share it.
