white one looks good... but its only the angle...
red + blue dc5 looks like the spoiler is a tad too high for it to be matching... but i guess its a matter of opinion

Yeah the DC5R wing looks to high on the Euro...

Put no wing.. The only wing that i like is the m3 spoiler and the mugen spoiler on the euro's....

the wing is nice, nice on the type-r's which i'd have if it wasn't for my mum :b

it's too high for the euro, something smaller and sleeker would be sexy :b~~~

One day my Euro will look like that blue one - I have made a start already and got the same prodrive rims! 17" too! Man - that is how my car would look lowered - drool... :D

I like the wing :thumbsup: - absolutely kills the stock spoiler for looks

if you want the JDM Racer look the wing would look very nice and hell it looks good in those pics and would be different..but you need the whole kit and wheels as well to pull it off...if you want it for just show leave the wing off...simple...

from the back it looks like a ralliart magna :o

the type r wing is too high and too boy racer for the Euro. The Euro is a classier car :)

my opinion would be to leave the euro's wingLESS ;)
the wing would just ruin the already reputable image of the euro.

if i do decide to get the wing, its gonna be after i kit and lower the euro....not before.
im gonna go ahead with it ^^
hopefully, car should be lowered, kitted and winged by the end of this year
i'll keep u guys posted :D

My opinion - yuck. But i dont like wings on any FWD car.

Spoilers on the other hand are HOT (the low things that dont come off the boot). If designed properly they REDUCE drag... Mugen make a nice one for the 5th gen, not sure about the 7th

seriously man don't get a wing... spend your money on something liek a cold air entake or heck even hondata... thats gona do a lot more for your car than an oversized piece of fiberglass... as you can tell im very opinionated when it comes to spoilers and the euro would be ruined by one

yeah i agree with industrie. in the end its your car but you did ask for our opinions so heres mine. personally i think they look absolutly horrible. they are a classy car as far as im concerned and they look so tuff wingless

22-03-2005, 12:58 PM
I dont mind it, i like the euro, dumped, black, tinted, rims and looking gangsta, the euro is a sexy arse ride at the same time i dun mind the spoiler just really what ya want ya car to look likeit looks tuogh with the spoiler on i reakon, its hard to say as someone said if ya do the wing do the whole kit

yfin
25-03-2005, 08:16 PM
What about this spoiler - not as high as the DC5R. It says it is from the Euro R 02 - 04 - I think it is the one from the previous Euro R.

I love the huge wings... but to put it on a stock euro would look funny...stock rims, stock ride height but with a huge wing :p

I would think that they're probably both narrower than the Euro and won't fit properly; i.e. will fit inside the bootlid edges rather than on the edge.

Mugen do a similar "shopping trolley handle":

One of the traders should be able to get you a price.

doesnt look that much different from a DC2R wing....and sorta resembles the DC5R one
either way, its still a massive wing

Maybe so mate but you are the one considering it... I don't think it would sit
as high as the DC5 Unit.

Ah Huh ..Remember this wing was also designed for the Euro (as against the DC5 which also may require modification to fit) so the mounting points use the same bolt locations as the Standard Honda Wing available here .... Also you have to be care full if you have a wing already if so I do not recommend it as it is major work to get the new wing to fit either way... as in the boot will have to be welded to cover up some extra holes that are left after removing the standard wing (which I had to do to my car) ...and if you have a metalic paint car the back of the car will have to be resprayed to colour match including the roof if you want a perfect match. So it will cost a bundle to do ( I have no idea if you have a wing now or not). Also with the Mugen unit you get badges with the wing... if that is important to you :-)

Not a good look. The proportions just arent right.

Leave it as it is, its not a Civic or a Integra you will look ridiculous with a wing on.

for the dc5 wind it can be bolt on to the factory hole without modify or adding another hole. for those who had the rear spoiler already. i have done up to my car. it depend on people to spent more money to get mugen wind or cheap to get the dc5 wind.

You had better tell Mugen that then since it is their design.... Everyone has an opinion I prefer it over the Standard Honda unit... And BTW what makes it so different to the Civic ??????. The new Civic hardly looks like a sports car (no offence Civic owners)

Ok cool was not sure I stand corrected... and yes you are right the Mugen one Cost wise is not bad (I think I paid around the $850 mark but I can't quite remember). It was the shipping that was expensive as it was to big to go via EMS and had to go on a ship(at least that was what I was told by the shipper)

Not sure if someone already mentioned it or not.

The Euro with the DC5R wing reminds me of a certain Alfa Romeo model with a similar wing. Could be 156 I'm thinking about.

but personally i think they look clean without....

From that angle its not that appealing. However from the full rear view it'd look pretty clean.

DC5R wing on a Euro?

No way.

Just looks really out of place to me.
I like the look of the lip spoiler, and the mugen wing on the CL9.

that comment is pretty stupid because honestly the mugen wing looks pretty much exactly like the dc5r wing except it doesnt have the edges and is just smooth all around. but same shape and everything.

Looks like he's talking about the "duck bill" spoiler, or whatever it's called.

The CL9 Mugen wing does look similar to that on theDC5R, but it's definitely not as high. I have the Mugen wing on my car, and whilst i didn't like it at first, I've come to appreciate it.
Despite the 'rice', it gives a sense of 'youthfulness' to the car that suits my age. Kinda like it now :thumbsup:

As they say, each to their own.

oh my bad if you meant the mugen duckbill then yeah i agree it does look hotter.

as for the CL9 MUGEN SPOILER and the DC5R wing i'd prefer the DC5R spoiler as it has more edge look to it then the mugen.

also depends what kind of kit you have on your car as well, just a lip or a whole bumper change for a boot lip/spoiler/ or even GT wing to suit it.

with the wing it does make the car more of a younger drivers car so each to their own.

i like it without the wing and just normal :D
