Hey all its been a while.
Just wanted to say im still here and still got the 'rex.

I have not really done anything to it lately, however today i think ill be possibly attempting a spoiler and rear wiper delete.
I may also be removing the antenna housing also.

I do plan on keeping this car sporty + stylish , aswell as keeping it as aero friendly as possible.


I have just read though , that honda did actually windtunnel the vtec spoiler and the 16v spoiler ( the flush fit type ), however im guessing they were more aimed at a little extra downforce.

Europe/Britain didnt have the speed limitations ( like in japan ) and had the vtec engine ( so can go pretty fast ) and the 16v D engine ( pretty fast also ) , this is where i am guessing they designed it for performance rather than any sort of economy gain.

I also like the look of a flush tailgate.
I do also plan on getting a " mugen style " rear ducktail spoiler, like seen in this picture ( the black one - nicest crx in the world if you ask me) , the blue one is basically exactly the same as mine looks

This is essentially creating a slightly longer rear end, so there may be some benefit ? Opinions ?
