I just finished installing the OEM type R Vortex generators and side extensions on my Hatchback Sport. I got the spacing dimensions of the mounting holes from the Type R forums and engineered a sheet metal template that was laser cut at my work.
After drilling the first hole I knew there was no turning back, but it turned out great! Up next, type R wing from ABS Dynamics!

That looks really good! I was thinking of getting the OEM parts as well but it was to expensive here in Canada. I ended up getting the kit from Showcase Sticker and waiting for everything to arrive.

Nice man. Always wanted to do this so that I'm down to one spoiler. Do you have a full shot of the back?

I think repainting the parts will save money and I do not think the black roof will look good on our car color.
Decided to just wrap the roof and spoiler/fins black. I kinda like the way it looks. Also wrapped the sides/top of the tail lights while I was at it. Subtle but clean.

Bumping this for some clarification: @Bloodysteak do the little "winglets" on the left and right need drilled as well, or do they mount directly where the spoiler was before? My thought process is, get those if they're non-destructive and get ABS vortex fins with 3m tape to avoid drilling into the roof completely

The OEM type r winglets use the same mounting bolts that our duck bill uses. The absdynamic winglets are only held in by 3m tape. The tiny fins in the middle are held in by clips but you would need to drill 4 new holes in the hatch for that to work.

I thought the abs fins were just 3m taped on.
