1999 Honda Civic HX acquired

You need a pic of the side of the car from far away, zoomed in with "glass" not a digital zoom.

Do you have an example images that I can look at so I will know what to do from there?

I took the schematic drawing PaleMelanesian provided and overlaid the template in the GIMP. It looks like you want to keep the spoiler, but if you can do an after/before/after test, by all means do.

Thanks RobertSmalls for this photoshopped image:

Here is my decision:

You've decided to kill the spoiler in pursuit of mpg.

Well, that really doesn't make sense to me. You should at least do a before-and-after coastdown test so you (and we) know whether you've made the right decision.

I will remove the spoiler and store it. Right now I am very busy during the summer and will not have time to test. As soon as I am free and have time for my hobbies, I will return back to spoiler and test it and report.

I agree with Robert. According to his images its not hurting and might actually be helping. I wouldn't remove it.

Keep in mind this is not the OEM spoiler for the HX. I think it's the EX (performance) piece.

That teardrop overlay looks a little off to me. I think it should be shifted forward a bit. I'm no expert, though.

I'm finding one thing most amusing: no time to test, but time to take it off? If it's not stock, then *shrug* on keep/remove.

Tuft testing?
