I'm assuming that the rear spoiler requires drilling to install? I too have been told that the Side Strakes require drilling as well? Has anyone installed either of these two themselves? Is it all that difficult? I'll probably bite the bullet & have the dealer install the rear spoiler since it will be residulaized on the lease. I would prefer to buy the other two from "our sponsor" & save the $300 (not each) or so the dealer wants for "installation". The one fear I have is that if drilling is required for the Strakes I may void the "rust through" warranty? Any thoughts would be great.

I think the car looks better without the side strakes, front spoiler or rear spoiler.

I've heard of zero performance gains from any of them. I remember one person from the http://www.honda-acura.net board went through several front spoilers because they fell apart at 140 mph.

Of the three, I think the side strakes are the LEAST appealing. I think Comptech makes side strakes that look better.

IMHO, the car looks great with all three, in fact, I think the rear spoiler is a must just for looks - but that's why it's optional!

Seems like there are instructions on installation of all three at the h and a website?

I don't like the side strikes look like extra metal tacked on, the front spooler does very little for the looks one way or the other. However the rear spoiler is a must have for me. The rear brake light looks like a blister and the spoiler covers it up and adds a small amount of spottiness to the car. You can find installation instructions at
