Wellll im going to guess you know... roughly 10 dollars depending on how gay you would like it. But the real cost is the 5-25 horspower cost... depending on the amount u want can be very costly with these great, awesome looking front wheel drive cars. Which you dont actually need a spoiler due to the fact that you probably wont hit more that 110 (if you motor can even get to those speeds) and if is front wheel drive so unless you are the worst driver in the world and somehow lose control of your rear end in a front wheel drive car... i would just suggest not getting a spoiler.:) Annnnnnd honda are commuters not racer ricers anywho that should sum it up..... Ohhhhh forgot if you want another little hp boost do some sweet vinyl and cut the springs. annnnnd throw some 20's that adds some too, but make sure they r knock offs!

No.  We don't swear because we are not in elementary school.  Try to act like an adult.  If you don't like it, leave already.  The only thing you have been doing since you have been on here is wasting everyone's time by reading the mindless drivel you post in threads.

If you install an OEM spoiler, inside the rear of the trunk are small indents on where to drill the holes. If you buy a used OEM spoiler, make sure to get the trunk spring from the seller too (the HD springs are provided with each purchase). Also, after you drill the holes, paint the inside of the hole so the bare metal is covered with paint (just use some touch up paint)  , doing this will prevent any potential rust issues down the road.

Just installed an oem spoiler. Local dealer priced it to me $415 painted & installed. Got this one of Ebay from an OEM supplier for $110 painted and shipped. Color match perfectly! Install was not too bad either. And yes there was some hesitation on my part about drilling holes, I think I measured it 8-10 times before I drilled, even with the indents on the under side. Looks just like this picture except it was Eternal Blue Pearl. And I just used a regular set of Ryobi drill bits.

It is because we are not hicks.  There really isn't any point on a forum.
Not every person on this forum is into cars as much as we are, but instead come here for help and recommendations.  How much trust and how do you think they would think of us if we were cussing up a storm like a bunch of "cool" 4th graders?

"whats the best type of drill bit to use if your doing it yourself?"

I used a bit called the Unibit. It's a step drill bit with many sizes on one bit and the drill does not Walk as much as other standard dribits when you first start to make the hole. Use tape and wrap it around the next size up to make sure you don't go to the next larger size than desired. Also drill from both sides of the trunk (inside and then the outside). Measure twice and drill once!!

Good luck.

A center punch will work wonders for avoiding a walking bit.
