When you had it off did you notice how the wing was assembled? Curious for interest in the carbon fiber center piece accessory.
When i took it off i kept it as a 1 peice but u should be able to swap on the middle portion easy

Thanks for posting that. I like the under-the-radar aspect of it, but no matter how many times I look at the photos it just feels like je nais se quoi is missing from the back . . . lol
It's because of the vortex generators. They direct air through the wing, but there's no wing! It would take removing the whole roof and hatch to get rid of those, and it looks like everything is functional at highway speeds anyway.

I'm pretty sure the vortex pieces are only on with adhesive - I saw a youtube video of someone putting them on their civic and they are OEM supplied

Wow i am super late on this topic. I was just thinking about it today. Saw a coupe with no wing. Thought it looked pretty good.

I don't like the style of th we Si wing. I like flush mount wings. Sant seem tofind a video yet for the Si.

I'll gladly take it off yours hands if any CivicX don't want it. LOL
i have the left tailgate wing (CW) and the middle piece. you would just need to source out the right tailgate wing ;-)
happy to let it go as i do not have any use for it anymore.

I honestly like this, lol...looks clean. Wonder how he covered up the holes. I know with the FA5 we used just some of those plastic round things that hold plastic panels...then painted it to match, lol
