Type r wing

[runintoluck]

my spoiler vibrates only slightly if I look for it, but it doesn't make any noise. And it isn't a matter of speed, if the road is smooth I don't notice any vibrations, but on a bumpy highway, then I can see it vibrate somewhat. I'm not really concerned since it doesn't make any noise

Same here. I don't notice any vibration unless going over bumpy roads, which kinda makes sense.

Got my professionally installed and the only time I have heard it rattle is when I closed the hatch

Seems that it possibly comes down to quality of the install? Would make sense.

I can only see the top of spoiler wobble when I am following a car on the highway, usually above 70mph. I think it is because of the force of airflow coming from the car ahead of you?

I can't see my new spoiler at all in my rear view mirror which is awesome for visibility but I have heard that's common on the freeway

I paid $300 to get my ABS Dynamics wing color matched Orchid White Pearl in Hayward CA. As far as the wing goes.... I am not very happy. The vibration / wobble / bounce on the middle piece is pretty ridiculous at highway speeds. Even when adding sponge padding to all the joints and hatch when installing and removing the roof spoiler and installing the vortex generators the vibration is very much noticeable from your rear view.

You must have done the install wrong, i've gone 65 all the way up to speeds i can't speak of and i have yet to see it vibrate or wobble i've had it on for about 2 months not one issue at all.

Did you install your type r wing yourself?

Yep with a little help from a tech of mine at work

Nice! Any recommendations for the install? Probably will be putting my own on this next weekend and it seems that patience and due diligence is the key to a good install.

I'm definitely gonna re attempt to do the install again, but I am glad that this problem is not universal so there's hope of fixing it.

The part of the install to pay most attention and time to is lining it up, line up the template and put the wing together and place it on the car make sure it all lines up and you have your holes marked in the right spot. The rest after that is a breeze.

Well, I got mine all installed today! I know ya'll have HBs but I thought I'd show what the Coupe looks like with it on. Install was straightforward but still pretty challenging; I think it turned out well and getting up to 60 the wing seemed pretty stable. Will report back if anything changes.

Finally got my ABS Dynamics spoiler installed too with the OEM vortex generators and fins. No flex or vibration at higher speeds as well so I couldn't be any happier.

Question for you guys that have it installed: does the hatch stay open with the extra weight on the liftgate? I know when I installed a Kaminari KTR-II wing on my 2002 coupe, I had to change out the trunk springs (actually converted to gas struts instead of torsion bars) in order to keep the trunk from slamming shut

ABS Dynamics looks good, was $200 for the spoiler on their website and $300 to get it painted at a local body shop.
Mine (sonic gray)
Manny's (Blue)

May i ask where you guys found the red accents for the sides and rear? BTW car looks sick!
