Was hoping for a low line one like the Honda one they supply, the mugden ones look ridiculous to me.

Duck lip spoiler for the Civic Hybrid can also be fitted to a standard Civic (VTi/VTi-L/Sport) and costs around the same.

I was going to sell my OEM Honda Civic spoiler (black) since I replaced it with the Mugen Wing but I realised noone is going to pay money for it since a replica one can be bought for under $150! Considering when I got it it was $500+, I might as well keep it until I trade it in and stick it back on.

There will always be someone who wants OEM. Post it up. Selling mine for $150 in my thread. Pickup only in Melb though. You can post urs up for the same and pickup only in Syd :p
I dont think its gonna make much of a difference when trading in with an OEM spoiler. Someone quote me if im wrong.

TBH it's not that people will pay more; but that the Mugen wing on the back may even detract from the value of the car when trading in! Besides, even if I pull it off, I'm pretty sure I could sell the genuine Mugen wing for at least $300 (considering it retails at like 800 for a factory painted wing)... only thing is- that leaves 5 holes in the boot lid! So I'll have to reinstall the OEM spoiler to put things back to "the way they were". Make sense? :)

fair enough. You planned out how ur gonna go abouts with it if you decide to sell ur car. For me, if i do sell, the car comes as is. If you want it, you buy it. No ifs or buts or dont want this or that. Im sure by the time i sell my car, itll be modded up to suit younger people rather than oldies who wants a conservative looking civic.
Main reason though for me selling it is that i dont like to hold on to things that i dont need. Also its annoying everytime i want to vacuum under the bed :p

I always thought high resale value was for the oldies :P

The thing is, if I sell the OEM spoiler.. I'll get jack all for it. $150 isn't worth it; and I'm pretty sure the dealer would prefer a Honda spoiler over a Mugen one as it implies I didn't touch it and kept it all stock and good :)

my Civic will be my first borns first car :p Not going to part with it anytime soon. You have a point. I guess if trade in to dealer, they want oem. Private sale might be different. If i end up doing a trade in, ill just go buy a replica modulo spoiler and slap it on.

1. Need to source it from Honda. Don't think there are any aftermarket alternatives.
2. I bought mine in Singapore; there are a few floating around on eBay as well as some of the traders (JDM Concept) on OzHonda.
