Follow the guide on this posting:
Glove box damper for Fk8/Fk7
Unfortunately you cannot source the parts here in The US, but you can from the UK...
What does this do exactly?

Being called a glove box damper I’m going to take a guess that it dampens, reduces, or emininates the gravity based drop open you get when opening the glove box. It looks like spring Type device not hydraulic.
You don’t know how many times I’ve said darn, I hate it when the glove box bounces open into passenger knees/shins (none actually, play along) and wish someonemade a device to slow that down and smooth out the opening action.
Presto, GBD got your back.

I’m building one tonight for the fuel door out of Q-tips, paper clip, and a pen spring.

my car was custom tuned 6 months ago.. dyno was 355 / 375...
Just got it retuned for water-meth.. and have it joined +400whp club.
Dyno 405whp / 380wtq
Could have get my torque to 400 but choose to stay on the safe side ..

It is like day and night different before & after.

Thanks!

you are right, SPG is awesome... that color looks unique.

I will take a picture with it illuminated. It has animation when you start the car as well..
I organized a group buy with my local group and still have a couple here for sale if you guys are interested.

Nope, just using Hondata's base map for now. Just got the FlashPro. Hopefully I can learn as I review the data logs and understand what my engine is doing before changing settings.

Hey there CStew81,

Here’s my Voltex wing install. Should be exactly the same:

Be warned, you will need to purchase (2) new hatch rubber bumpers.


Has anyone ever installed an oem wing or varis wing? Looking for an install guide

Awesome thanks man.
Good news my friend.. so if you’re able to get just the clip for the damper, you can use the damper for a 2013-2017 Honda Accord which is exactly the same , 100% confirmed , same part different number !
Good luck
