hey guys i want to here your input on this little issue i’m having right now with the OEM Si spoiler i installed on my 2016 lx-p. whenever i go over bumps or close my trunk the center rattles a bit, everything is bolted down and secure for the most part. the good thing is when i’m going high speeds (70-80 mph) it stays pretty stable. does anyone know why this happens? is it because i didn’t replace the springs? or because the regular coupe trunk isn’t as durable as the Si trunk?

If everything is tight you should be fine. Trunk springs is only for opening the trunk with the increased weight of the wing. If it turns out to be an actual issue send me a DM, and I can compare the my FC3 and FC4 trunks (also added a SI wing to the FC4)

Nope you’re all good, i have an Si coupe and my spoiler flexes in the center a lot too. I bet it’s because it’s made of cheap/thin plastic to keep cost down.
