Searching to purchase an OEM rear upper spoiler "wing" for an '87 3rd generation Civic Si hatchback.

I understand they are difficult to come by.
Thought I'd start here.

I could have this wing duplicated in Carbon Fiber but would require to get my hands on one first. Group buy would be available for the first 8 interested.

keep me posted. Thanx

Because there was someone not more than a week ago sold what you are looking for, it had been forsale for 3 weeks, and its now in TX, thats why, plus you didn't define where you were in your profile so, I thought I would ask.


On the repro, bit. I hope you do find one. And I hope you do get copies made. We all do.

We are real serious about producing these for this community. Thanx for the heads up on the profile issue. making adjustments now... thanx

I might even be as inclined to not only purchase a wing from someone here but also offer them a free CF version of it in exchange depending on if the demand is great enough here. Win/Win situation.

So in short, If the demand is great enough(minimum pre-purchased/8+ buyers), who ever sells me the original could potentialy end up with a free CF version.

Basicly, all the pre-buys would recieve about a 25% off list.(limited to the first 8 buyers only!) Any other purchases made there after pays full retail.

This is a prety common practice in tuner/specialty type forums.

We've had hoods, fuel pump covers and door panel inserts made for us in this fashion. It turns out to be positive for those that cooperate.

Realisticly, I see this wing MSRPing for $300ish per unit.

However, I have yet to see the underside or mounting points.
This may be an issue as to why no one has reproduced it.
The physical contours from the out-side don't appear extravegant and should not give a problem producing the mold.
It may have a different method of mounting once completed.

ah yes,... and before anyone asks. turn around time would be approximately 6-8 weeks on the initial first batch order.

What would be the requirements of the spoiler "condition wise" to be a good candidate for reproduction, or what are you looking for "condition wise" ? Also If a group buy Is large enogh for say 1g CRX mugen repro wings or other "parts" will this be in the future to do? rather than just 3 g spoilers?

I have yet to focus on the 1st gen CRX wing but I don't see why we wouldn't be able to accomodate to those buyers as well.

However, I would care to pace ourselves one at a time. So that we are not bombarded with questions on multiple items in present production.

As for the condition of the intital 1st wing is concerned, it would have to be in relatively good condition. Must be straight with NO previous mods or repairs. Oxidation should not be a problem.

An exchange of a ton of pix (j/k) would be required before we accept the intial wing to begin the prep work & tooling.

the bottom shouldn't be a problem to dupilicate. it fits on the stock spoiler, three bolts through the top of the spoiler, throught the stock spoiler and nuts underneath. there are plastic covers that go over the bolt holes in the top, there is a little knotch underneath for the stock rear squirter.

if it is possible you should focus on making a one piece one with a stock spoiler on the bottom, that would be cleaner and lighter, plus the later 86-87 have metal stockers that rust.

i sold mine a while ago, about 2 months but it was repaired. i didn't get what i paid for it though but at least it went to a good home.

Here is one.
