Installation of a "APR performance wing"
I was thinking about getting a APR performance GT3 wing and i was wondering is it hard to install a APR performance Spoiler? what are the requirements for the installation?

Drill holes in your trunk. And have the proper tools that are recommended by the manufature. I have a aluminum wing on my civic to give me that extra 10 hp from the down force...at least thats what the guy in the shop told me

the ONLY way i would stick a wing on my car is if i was trying to set a landspeed record on thesalt flats. an OEM honda wing would be nice with the LED brake light, and i personally love the mugen carbon fiber wing on civics, not sure why,it just looks right

Don't ruin your car!!!Honestly,it is going to look stupid.The ppl with those things are the ones i laugh at! It doesn't even flow with the body lines of the car!
The only cars that should maybe have those wings are cars over 350whp,are race cars and are RWD!

I would refrain from putting that on your car. One, it's heavy. I have a friend that had one on his MX-6 and he needs a little wooden rod to keep the trunk up because the effin thing would weigh the trunk down.
Second, it really blocks your rearward view. Everytime you look in the rearveiw mirror, the only thing you're gonna see is your spoiler. Quite dangerous if you're just backing up, or there happens to be an emergency vehicle coming up from behind.
Third, it's susceptible to theft. Those things are only held on by allen head screws which anybody can get the tool to remove them.
I'm not gonna question your tastes on "performance" parts, I'm just telling you facts that are associated with from acquaintances that have experienced and regretted owning such products.
