How does the lip spoiler look to you?

Rear Lip Spoiler [opinion]

4640 Views 17 Replies 13 Participants Last post by  1tointegra
The black rear lip spoiler works well on the Majestic Black and Liquid Carbon Integras, but not so well (IMO) with the other color options. Without other black accents on the back of the car, it looks slapped on and not well-integrated into the car's design (if the color matched, it would be splendid).

The carbon fiber on the silvers and blacks looks pretty good though.

What say you?

Agreed. Would look way better color-matched.

I really like the look, and I have a the Liquid Carbon for my pre-order... but the price for the upgraded one on a TLX is $1,046, so I'm still on the undecided on if I want to spring for it or not
I really think body colored is the way to go, carbon fiber doesn't look that great here.

I’m not a fan. Looks silly to me and will be a hindrance when waxing the car. Costs a fortune for what it is.

Kind of want to delete it. There’s a press photo floating around with a silver one that has no spoiler, and it looks pretty clean to me. The subtle upturn “duckbill” on the hatch looks pretty sweet on its own imho.

I like the black, not a fan of the carbon fiber look. There seem to be a lot of other black accents on the Aspec trims.

Never a fan of exterior carbon fiber unless you have a bunch of it or the car is carbon like a McLaren. Expensive stuff stuck on to look like something it’s not.

A few interior touches of very good quality carbon weave can be very sporty though.

So, now that some of us have seen the manufacturing photos and videos, I'm wondering if someone here might be able to shed some light on this... does anyone know how the rear spoiler is attached to the trunk/hatch? And do we think the carbon-fiber dealer-option spoiler would replace the stock spoiler, or would it be more of a cap that goes over the existing spoiler?

Essentially, I'm trying to get an idea on whether the rear spoiler can be removed without leaving holes or otherwise ruining the hatch, or if the only way to get an Integra without a spoiler is by going with the base spec.

EDIT: Whelp, I guess I could have just googled this. Assuming this is attached like most lip spoilers, sounds like this can be removed with a heat gun, some rubbing alcohol, and some patience.

Hmmmm...

Trying to get a sense of whether I'm seeing fasteners/clips. A spoiler delete might look considerably less awesome if you are left with holes in the trunk. 🤔

There would have to be holes of some sort. How else to remove it without taking paint too? Also, it’s hard to align one just right. I’ve drilled holes in a Lotus to position the wing, made even this Dentist take a good breath first. Having holes might aid assembly.

This is not a “lip spoiler”, that would be on the front of a car. This would generally be referred to as a “wing” or even “winglet”

EDIT: on further reflection, even though it might not be the most common usage it’s fine to describe the ”rear decklid aerodynamic device” with words “lip” or “spoiler”. It does spoil or change the flow of air. Apologies.

I'm guessing the carbon fiber spoiler is a cap or even wrap over the existing spoiler. But just a guess.

That was my guess as well, based on the carbon fiber side mirror covers, which also appear to be caps? Hmmmmm.
I like it. I think it looks great on the white. I told my dealer I wanted one before I realized it was included with my package. I'm also considering the blacked-out Acura and A-spec logos. Generally, I don't care for black wheels, but I think it looks good on the white car, and adding some additional trim may just make it pop.
Holding off on the CF mirror caps and rear diffuser for now.

It’s a different spoiler.

Here's a good look at the carbon spoiler on a white Integra out in the open.
