Hi there! Question for you. Is the spoiler smaller than the type r wing or is this replica the same size as the original. Because I’ve been noticing that the ones from eBay/Japan tend to be a bit smaller
There are a few replicas that are terrible copies. I believe the one I have from ABS Dynamics is pretty much the same size, although I have never compared them side by side. This is the one I have, see it on eBay ebay.us/l4XlOV
Great video man looks absolutely beautiful. I just got the ABSDynamics wing, and I am trying to get it installed, but the shops are charging me $600 to just paint and install the spoiler. Do you have any further tips on drilling the holes? That is the part I'm mostly worried about. I have no experience making templates or drilling.
I paid $250 for the paint job. I didn't buy it from ABSDynamics but I saw the listing here goo.gl/eWHjoF and it is the same. When I drilled the holes, I had to make one of them a little larger because when I drilled from the inside of the hatch, I ended up drilling at an incorrect angle. But I was able to correct it and seal it from the inside. Now, after I was done I created a paper template that you can use to lay it on the hatch and it will tell you where to drill the holes. Because my initial holes were not perfect, this template should be considered a draft and by no means perfect. It should get you very close to where the exact holes should go. The only problem is I left the template at work and I go back to work on Wednesday. Once I get it I will scan it, upload it, and share a link for download. I may do a quick video showing how to use it.
Hi we just bought a civic hatchback sport jus this feb 2018 and we're planning to buy a wing outside and get it painted and installled at honda/the dealer but we dont wanna loose our warranty . How about yours where did you get everything done ? Did you loose your warranty ? Or do you have any suggestions how to and whats the best way to get everything done without losing the warranty? Thank you! 😊
Hi! I purchased the wing/spoiler on ebay (link listed and updated often in video description) and then had it painted by a local auto body repair shop in Florida. A wing should not void your warranty unless its improper installation causes other damages in your vehicle (assuming you live in the US). Please, go to the following link goo.gl/8RwRHY and read it. It's from the Federal Trade Commission. Read the section "Will using 'aftermarket' or recycled parts void my warranty?" A wing is an item that if properly painted and installed will not cause any issues with your vehicle, although some people will criticize it. LOL.
Hi. Yes, you can flip it. Maybe make a second copy to use it on the other side. Now. This was done a few years ago when there were no templates available. It is a very rough draft. Also, the printer may change the scale of the actual drawing. Before any drilling, please be sure you are satisfied with the placement.
I bought mine on ebay back in 2017 from ABS Dynamics. Still holding strong and looks great. This one is is also on ebay but not sure who makes it ebay.us/bS6o2d ABS Dynamics probably have a website in case you want to get theirs.
How tight did u make the bolts that attach it to the trunk? I have it attached and its tight but i cant get to the point where the bolts wont spin anymore
@@Sndjjdjwjd oh cool let me know how that goes, I’ve heard some people say it’s too big for the hatch so I didn’t know if I needed to go with a replica.
Hi Jay, sorry for the delay. I do not have the original Type R spoiler. I have a replica made by ABS Dynamics. Very good quality so far. I also bought the Type R front lip (replica) from them as well and it is very good. Here is a link on ebay. ebay.us/l4XlOV You don't have to buy from this seller but make sure it is from ABS Dynamics if you decide to buy a replica. If the original Type R spoiler fits, I would go with that one. By the time you get it painted and installed, the replica is almost as expensive. I made this free website from wix and I was hoping to have time to keep updating it with stuff I do to my hatch, but then life happens. LOL. I have been very busy these past few years. hondaethos.wixsite.com/fk7civic/products-1
You can buy it on eBay here: youtubelinks.page.link/FK7_Civic_Hatchback_TypeR_Spoiler Without the foam seal around it, see the other videos, the spoiler makes a sound when it rubs against the painted metal portion of the hatch.
Looks really nice just wanna ask u how did u match the pai t color i wanna do i stall one for mine any suggestion where to get the paint or u did the job too??
I went to a local auto body shop in Kissimmee, FL. They did all the painting. I put it together and installed it. The paint code for your car is located on a label on the driver's side door frame.
It is tape. Some call it pinstripe tape; others detailing tape. This is the one I installed in my civic and you can buy it on Amazon amzn.to/2K4JnBH However, it appears it is a terrible product and no longer available. You will see my civic in the reviews. You can also buy it on eBay. Here is a link of a similar one ebay.us/5yL5q2 I guess I was lucky with mine. I installed it on December 2017 and it is holding up nicely. No cracks, no issues, but my car sleeps inside a garage.
I bought two from Lowes. This is one of them: www.lowes.com/pd/M-D-17-ft-x-3-8-in-Gray-Window-Seal-Foam-Window-Weatherstrip/1096043 The other one is something similar to this product www.lowes.com/pd/M-D-13-ft-Expand-N-Seal-Foam-Window-Weatherstrip/3434324 You are going to need to go to the store and see which one works for you. I hope this helps.
Alex Ross Another youtube member said that if you contact ABSDynamics they will send you the template. Mine, if you flip it you should be able to use it on the other side. The same guy said it was slightly off but usable. His comments are probably on a different video.
You said there was some vibration before you put the Sponge window Seal. Was the vibration happening on the top of the spoiler? The top part of my hatchback spoiler shakes when I speed up.
The vibration of the top portion was propagating down towards the base section. It was the base section the one making the terrible vibrating noise. Also, by top part I'm assuming you are referring to the portion painted black.
Oh, I see. I already had Sponge Seal on the base section so it doesn't make any noise. I was referring to the black painted portion(top Part). It vibrates when I go above 75mph. Did you notice any vibration on yours?
I paid $180, here is the link goo.gl/A7VRMH The link is also on the video description and I update it often as sometimes this item is sold out. Here are some parts I have installed on my car so far civic-hatchback.blogspot.com/p/recommended-products.html
Uh if you drop a bolt or anything just close the door and open it slightly to stick your ARM into the bottom and you get get any bolt easier then what he said
I will be listing more products here goo.gl/2DR5sa I'm still working on that site. I bought the side skirts from germain honda in FL and the rest at hondapartsnow.com
I will be adding a draft template later this week (Wednesday). I will check on the size of the drill bit I used tomorrow. I'm in preparations to move from Orlando, FL to Denver, CO.
FlyinGato Thank you! I was going to buy the Type R initially, but the dealer lie to me saying it was going to be here much later than what it actually was, and also said the price was higher than its actual price. Then I calles to trade mine in for one and I was placed on a waiting list where I am #23. Anyways, I still have my RSX-S turbo for when I need some speed. I have seen some of your videos. Good work! Keep it up!
FlyinGato I agree! I had to buy mine from a dealer three hours away because the dealer here in Orlando, FL was trying to get me to pay outrageous dealer fees.
I bought from a different seller but this one goo.gl/gH421L is made by the same company as the one I purchased. I installed with bolts. No rivets were needed.
Can you put the spoiler on a 2018 civic Si 2 door coupe?
Godly I'm not sure if it is possible. Join the civicx.com forum. They may have the answer there if anyone has attempted it.

ThinkAboutIt That would be greatly appreciated! What did you use to seal the holes? And you just used a regular drill bit to make the hole?

I tried looking for the spoiler but the link was dead. Do you know the brand and model number of your spoiler?

I have the same car and I just dropped it off at the shop and going to pick it up tomorrow the type r spoiler should fit

Yo! Can you tell me what this red is on the sills and the bumper? Is this some kind of sheet or tape? I'm looking for it everywhere but can't find ...
It is tape. Some call it pinstripe tape; others detailing tape.

@@turboDE5 Thanks bro! btw amazing honda! :)
@@turboDE5 aaa brother one more question, what size of this tape did you buy? Needs to wrap up the front bumper, rear and sills
I bought 1/4 inch wide x 20 feet long. I managed to do both sides and rear with one and had some leftover.
@@turboDE5 One more thanks bro :)
How is it holding up? I'm planning on getting one really soon!
It's been holding just fine for a few years now. No complaints.
@@turboDE5 Awesome! That's making me feel a lot better now
awesome side skirts,, the Red Pinstripe is it Vinyl Wrap?
Yeah, the product link is here hondaethos.wixsite.com/fk7civic/products-1
Do you have a linik for some good red tape to stick on the lip and side skirt?
I bought this one on eBay goo.gl/eRs5q1 (over a year now). It is good but it is no longer available. If I find a better link I will post it again.
Hi there what’s the brand of foam seal you ordered?
I bought two from Lowes. This is one of them: www.lowes.com/pd/M-D-17-ft-x-3-8-in-Gray-Window-Seal-Foam-Window-Weatherstrip/1096043

Where did you get your wing ? Is that already painted I got the same color .
BAR HER I posted the link here goo.gl/2DR5sa
love the build man
I notice you got the sport rear bumper, did you install it on yourself?
Yes. Fairly easy.
FK7 Civic nice!!!! Do you have a link to the bumper itself?
Watch this video ua-cam.com/video/E6SSUVeEFuM/v-deo.html where I show how to obtain the part numbers and where to buy.
I appreciate it very much bro! Thank you
@@nicholashuynh7608 You're welcome
I got your template but it was only for one side do you have a link for both sides?
Alex Ross Another youtube member said that if you contact ABSDynamics they will send you the template. Mine, if you flip it you should be able to use it on the other side. The same guy said it was slightly off but usable. His comments are probably on a different video.
Can it handle car washes?
Yes. I have taken mine through a car wash with rollers multiple times and no issues.

I got the same problem. It vibrate on the top part. Any suggestion how to remove it? Sounds like a squeky sound
Did you find a way to reduce the top vibration? I have the same problem on mine. I hope it will not break with time.

Hello wanted to know if the rear spoiler of your car moves with the wind when you drive on the route the part that is painted black
Take a look at this video ua-cam.com/video/r5x0mc4H8n0/v-deo.html
Does the wing shake when driving?
I have a recording of the wing while driving in this video ua-cam.com/video/r5x0mc4H8n0/v-deo.html

Paul Paul ebay
about to install mine tomorrow. any tips for drilling and bit sizes
I will be adding a draft template later this week (Wednesday). I will check on the size of the drill bit I used tomorrow. I'm in preparations to move from Orlando, FL to Denver, CO.
what screws did you use to bolt the winglets to the actual hatch?
I went to Lowes with that portion of the wing and tested different screws until I found the right one. I don't remember the size.
I live in Sarasota Florida we can link up one day I have the cvt turbo civic hatch back 2017 in white
John Q Hi! Sorry but I'm moving to Colorado. I just arrived at a hotel in Texas. :/
looks decent, pretty close looking to a real Type R. I have a champ white one.
FlyinGato Thank you! I was going to buy the Type R initially, but the dealer lie to me saying it was going to be here much later than what it actually was, and also said the price was higher than its actual price.

Anyways, I still have my RSX-S turbo for when I need some speed. I have seen some of your videos. Good work! Keep it up!
I think one of the biggest issues with the Type R is the terrible dealer practices, with that added ADM
FlyinGato I agree! I had to buy mine from a dealer three hours away because the dealer here in Orlando, FL was trying to get me to pay outrageous dealer fees.
👍👍👍
Can you send me a template?
fk7civicx.page.link/Type-R-Spoiler-Template
The wing is cool..i donno about the red strip..should gone with blue on blue
I got mix feelings about that though. I think the red and blue really gives it a sporty look + the wing.
I feel the same way. My brother on the other hand likes the smoked tail lights, black rims, etc.
I'm in desperate need of this template! Anyone else having troubles printing it?
I will take a look and see what the problem is. I'm sharing it from my google drive. Also, note that this template is a draft and may not be perfect.
Try this link fk7civic.page.link/jdF1
Is this the wing you install in the video?

I bought from a different seller but this one goo.gl/gH421L is made by the same company as the one I purchased. I installed with bolts. No rivets were needed.
