Need help from a Dc5 Guru =]

[NoT_eVeN]

Hey guys and girls, I have a question about putting a OEM dc5 Type R wing on a dc5 Type S. I have noticed some cool cats in this forum that has both type s duck lip as well as the type R wing on. I was wondering how they do so, as the type S duck lip is covering all necessary space on the boot lid needed for the type R wing.

Those who have both are not using the OEM DC5S Ducklip spoiler. It is the Acura RSX-S A-Spec Ducklip Spoiler. This spoiler is not as wide as the DC5S thus it will allow you to have both.

So you have three options:
1.) Source an A-Spec ducklip spoiler from the US, or
2.) Take off the OEM DC5S spoiler to put on the DC5R spoiler, and get the holes left behind welded, or
3.) Cut the current spoiler so that its shorter.

What DC5 raven said, need to get the A spec rear duck spoiler to fit the DC5R rear wing as the A spec rear duck spoiler is smaller than the AUDM ones.

Yeah and they are rare as, hen's teeth.

It only comes in a package, with the Aspec high wing. Only Acura sell them. And they will not ship it to Australia, or separate the two.

You might get lucky with a second hand mini-lip spoiler, which comes around once in a blue moon.

A guy with a white TypeS on ClubITR has it

[NoT_eVeN]

Oh no kidding. Cheers for that guys. I think i will probably do it the formal way in taking the type S duck lip off and getting the boot lid resprayed. But if i do so im sure i will have to get my badges removed ? am i correct?

[r3ckless]

Why dont u just buy a dc5r boot with the wing already on it?

[SuperJDM.]

I was thinking the say as him ^. But then youll have Type R badge on a Type S.

[JetSir]

I am just about to purchase the a spec wing package from the US for my DC5S.
From researching, it looks like the a spec wing is the same as the type r wing, and the mini decklid fits perfectly in the same spot as the current decklid on the stock DC5S.

Can anyone confirm that this is correct? I have tried searching through ozhonda and clubitr but couldn't find any users/pics with the a spec wing package (tall wing and mini decklid) installed on a DC5S.

Thanks mate, just what i was looking for.

[funworld]

How much are you buying it for?

[T-10000000]

~$385USD for the A spec wing package (mini decklid and high wing) + shipping (~$330USD) from the US

[T-10000000]

Finally got the wing installed.
Removing the Decklid was easier than first though. Acura instructions said to remove the boot interior but was not needed.

Just as reference for the next guy that wants to take off his decklid; the red circle in the pic below is a black plastic piece on the bottom of the bootlid which you can get out using a flat head screwdriver. Once you do that, the bolt of the decklid will be exposed and you just unscrew it and continue taking off the decklid (8 clips).
