I finally got the Type R spoiler painted and installed. Now, I chose to paint all black. I think it looks good. But I may just repaint the winglets some time in the future. Anyhow, here are the pics:

Does it block your rearview mirror? What made you decide to go for the small over the big wing? I'm planning on getting the big wing from procivic the future.

I think it looks good. but yeah, it looks like it blocks your visibility at the back, doesn't it?

To be honest with you, i got it because the small wing was in my line of budget. I know the bigger wing is more desirable but i just couldn't do it. Plus I still have to paint the thing and thats already another $100! (painting my self)

I used a Krylon Primer+Paint combo. I wanted to see how it would look just all black and it doesn't look bad at all. I am planning to repaint the wings to match body color.

Before I put the wing on, that was one of my main concerns. Surprisingly enough the wing DOES NOT block my rear view at all (looking straight) but from an angle view of the outer sides (left and right), it is blocking.

My view from rear view mirror. The wing doesn't obstruct my view at all. Although it is the smaller wing, the height of the design, I think, is the same measurements as the original. Just shorter in width.

Thank you for the reply and I think you're doing great job so far; keep up the good work. I don't have confidence in myself so I am going to have it professionally installed and painted.

I totally understand. Believe me, messing with cars isn't my thing. But I just had to do it cause the local shops are charging me $1000!!!! No thank you.

Looks good, @LMFK7! Yeah, I think painting the side wings to match the body color would look awesome.

Thanks Silver! I'm hoping to paint the wings next week if weather permits. I was also thinking about just painting the whole wing. My reason for this thought is, because it is not a CTR and CTR's have the middle black. Would it look bad?

Man, it's your ride and your wing. haha. Personally, I would either leave the cross beam spoiler black or wrap in carbon fiber. But that's just me.
