[nxn75u]

Hi guys,

I agree, the duck tail looks better but we all have different views & tastes. Personally not a fan of the lip spoiler.

i have seen a few pics of ebay ducktails on acurazine, and they just use 3M tape. As far as what I saw I couldnt tell the difference. They look great. I guess it depends on your own choices whether you want genuine Honda parts installed. At the end of the day if you save money to get an aftermarket part and install it yourself, expect to get what you paid for.

i regret not bundling in the duck tail spolier when purchasing my car... the part is expensive, and cannot be installed at home as you need special tool to drill into the boot (well that's my understanding)...

Wish there was a nice CF alternative out... like the ones for the 3 series bmw's..

I bundled it in when i bought the car, along with side skirts and the rear bar... so i don't know how much it would have cost individually... but i do know that i paid much less than i would have if i bought it separately after buying the car.

As a matter of fact Im thinking of getting the exact same exterior kit as biggame, I rang Honda couple days back and these are the prices (inclusive of fitting):

Front under spoiler: $555
Side skirts (pair): $885
Duck-tail rear spoiler: $500

All up: $1940. Mind you these are prices for Queensland and that prices do vary from dealer to dealer. Im still thinking hard if it's worth spending the $2k for these 3 items or not...

Biggame, did you get the rear aero bumper as well? any pics for that? Tempt me...

[nxn75u]

get the full kit mate, looks sexy on the euro. But the duck tail spoiler is pricey i should say. Theres no brake light on it. So probs im gonna keep hunting on Ebay...

Im saving up for the kit at the moment. Get the full kit Avantgrade84!

[avantgarde84]

Yea agreed the duck tail is expensive! But oh well I might go for it after all. Just want some suggestions on the rear aero bumper... I am abit hesitant to dump my current old bumper (which is in perfect condition) AND pay over $1000 for a new bumper which is just slightly square at the edges. Maybe I would use my tax returns to get the 3 items first, and keep my old rear bumper haha.

Looks very attractive indeed, somehow I realise that having the kit on a white car seem to make it stand out much better than if it was on a black car. Somehow the black background on a black car just masks the extra prominence of the body kit... Anyway from what I can see you have got the front under spoiler, side skirts and rear aero bumper. Don't think you've got the duck tail though. But looks amazingly flash and stunning!
Heading over to a paint shop to get my car re-sprayed (bonnet, roof and boot) to cover up damages caused by fruit bat poo!!! Then I will be getting my kit...

wow so many CU2 owner now... I think its abt time to open a CU2 pics thread?

[kimnkk]

Yeah, i think we should!!

Anyone have the Mugen kit? still takes a while to order in from Japan apparently, but i think it looks great!

[denot]

Yeah, i think we should!!

Blue looks much better.
