Interesting stuff, I saw the different types but didn't know what they meant, thanks for clearing it up. I have 5% on the back and 35% on the rear quarters. I only have problems seeing out the back when reversing on dark streets so I should be alright with either type.
I had a wink mirror and loved it but I hated not having visors and it wouldn't stay on my windshield and stock sucks so I'm looking into Broadway mirrors.
You're welcome. Broadway mirrors ftw. ;)

Trying to decide to buy a new set of 195/50s for my stock wheels or buy the handgun I've been wanting to get for the past 6 months....the tires might win. Lol.

Might go with 195/55s instead tho...

Gave the car a quick wash from a diy accord meet we had. Also helped others with their accords, here's some diy photos.

^^DIY meet....probably one of the best ideas anyone has ever had. That must be so awesome.

^CB, I think the spoiler should be a go.

It just looks complete.

I've said it before, so that's nothing new, but maybe once you get it properly aligned on the trunk, now that the trunk is aligned, maybe that will help the decision.

Dually noted. :lawl:

What if your window spoiler was black to go with your lip spoiler?

To me, the window spoiler (how it looks mounted) is similar to side window deflectors (side window visors). If you ever had side window visors, and see your car from the side view / rear 45° view, you might happened to think that the w.s. can flow well in black aside from red.--This is to say that your window spoiler won't look bad at all if it was black (regardless of having side window visors on your car now).

If I'm right, your w.s. wasn't originally red. I'm assuming you decided to paint match 'cause you preffer color unification style (i.e. preffers-ed- redhousing headlight, splash guards & 6.5gen cpe foglights trim -if you had them-, etc right? ;)) Don't get me wrong. I'm a big fan of these styles. I personally think your red w.s. is dope.

What I'm saying is that your w.s. can be color cordinated in black with your rear window. (Not to assume: "black=cheap DX theme" for this case.)

Seeing you having tough time deciding for go/no-go for your lip spoiler, I'm assuming that something is bugging you (in your mind that w.s + lip spoiler is too much perhaps) when you see the lip spoiler mounted as of now.

I hope this perceptional change could help you somehow. Try to imagine this vision / photoshop or something. Perhaps this might trigger your "go w/ trunk lip spoiler". ;)

That was a mouthful. Haha But I appreciate the input, I agree with what you said mostly.

I could have the roof spoiler painted black, but I like it so much paintmatched, I don’t know what I would like it better black. I could PS it to see how it looks. But yeah it originally came as carbon fiber, which I really don’t like. Dark blue, green, or black cars look alright with CF accents, but I don’t like it with lighter colors like red, white, etc. And I’m actually not a big fan of CF to begin with lol.

I think I’m hesitant because for so long I had the roof spoiler and OEM wing together, and it was just too much after awhile. Now the car is so clean, I am just afraid to “clutter” it again.

I’ll probably put it on in the end, I’m just enjoying the clean look right now I think.

Have you water tested it yet?

I had an elephant pee on it, and I found no remnants inside the trunk.

No it’s rained twice since I swapped, all is well. :)
