You can add just the rear, I do recommend installing the trunk springs that come with it though. Personally, I do think it looks better with the front lip also but it's personal preference.

I agree, the whole kit looks great. But I know it will get beat up.

Has anyone installed the rear spoiler themselves, what's involved doing it?

I did mine myself, if you do the springs, a trunk spring tool is handy, you can pick them up from H and A fairly cheap.

All you need is a centerpunch, a Sharpie, a 3, 6 and 8mm drill bits, a drill, touchup paint is recommended to cover the metal exposed when you drill, a wrench and/or socket tools for the nuts and about 30-60 minutes of your time.

The inside of your trunk has the marks of where to drill for the outer bolts, the kit comes with marking washers for the two middle bolts. It's not that hard to do and I think there are a few write ups on the board floating around but the instructions that come with it are pretty clear.

One thing I forgot to include, time wise, if you do use touchup paint for the holes, you will need to give it a bit to dry, otherwise when you put the bolt through it will rub it off. You could use a hair dryer to speed it up though, just don't get it too hot or the dryer too close to your trunk lid.

I installed my rear spoiler myself, and it was a piece of cake thanks to a friend having the trunk spring changing tool.

I don't like the side strakes. I love the way the Honda front spoiiler looks, but I didn't get it due to concerns about banging it up.
