Default Front Spoiler before and after installation pics

Anyone have pics of their car before installing the spoiler and after installation? I like the idea of the protection the spoiler gives since the spoiler will hit the curb instead of the car itself. I am concerned about the look of the car after install. I like the stock lines of the car hate the strakes and rear spoiler, just ruins the classic sports car lines IMO.

Since you're an ex-con, I'll be nice.

You should try the Gallery link or the Photo Gallery Forum. There are tons of pics to search through.

I ended up getting the amuse lip since I really don't like the Honda lip. Of course, it's all personal preference.

After mumerous stays in prison and detox I have only fleeting moments of lucidity. Thanks for your help.

Amen.... my car is stock without the spoilers and strakes for the same reason. If you want protection for the bumper, but don't like the bulkiness of the front spoiler, then I would recommend getting the front bumper splitter from coastal metals. Kevin

Here are some of my pics. . .my stainless grills from Coastal Metals are in the process of being powdercoated black. I can't wait to get them back!

Before the front and rear spoilers. . .


After. . .


As for anything in life, it's all about your tastes. Go and do with what makes you happy. I am glad I have them.

Thanks for the replies, I have decided to install the bumper protector leaving the front end stock. The front end looks far cleaner without it IMO. I'll never understand how people can take a Beautiful Automobile and ruin it with monster rear spoilers etc. If I wanted the car to look like a circus act I would have bought an American car!!

I had the same opinion when I first got my car about trying to preserve the clean line look. Now that I put on my Import Development front spoiler on, I can feel the aerodynamic downforce when I'm driving at my usual rate of speed. It feels like it tracks better and is more stable than before, so I can come into corners a tad faster now.

You guys suck!

I have been on the fence about the front lip. Now I have to have one. It does change the entire look of the front of the car...really makes it look mean. Not to mention it will cover up scrapes from a parking block mishap.

So far, all I have added is the factory rear spoiler (I like the look) and the Honda Black Chrome badges.

Thanks a lot guys....MBNA thanks you too!
