I’ve got a '90 LS with no rear wing & although I like the body lines without one, I’m considering a G3 Type R wing or "99 Civic Si wing further down the road which (as you know) resembles the aforementioned (always wanted to use that word) Type R wing.
My question is, does anyone know if the width of either wing will fit my teg okay or are they too narrow/wide? :shrug:
The integra Type-r wing, civic Si wing, accord Type-R wing, and prelude Type-R wing aren’t long enough.
If you are good with fiberglass, you can cut the spoiler in half and extend it (5 inches for the integra Type-R or 2 inches for the prelude Type-R).
If you’re going to extend one, I recommend finding a used OEM integra Type-R spoiler because they have a wood core (not hollow) and would probably be easier to do and also stronger.

I’m going to try this when I have time. [/B]
Yeah,…that sounds like WAY too much work so even if it looks good I’m not doing it. I’m too lazy & I thought I could just bolt it on so thanx 4 your help.
I wanted to do that with mine, the only reason I didn’t is because the guy whom I got a good deal on the wing from dropped the wing. extending it 5 inches would make the wing WAY too long to mount. asian buddha has it done on his sedan and it looks good. it would look even better on a coupe because coupes are a little slimmer. just correcting people that don’t know what they’re talking about.

Actually, asianbuddha’s Type-R wing isn’t from an integra. It is a 53 inch universal wing (same width as a prelude Type-R wing), however it is hollow. On his sedan, it is about an inch shorter on each side than I would prefer. The OEM (wood core) integra Type-R wing is much shorter than that - trust me, I’ve checked with a measuring tape, and needs to be extended about 5 inches. The Wings West prelude Type-R wing would need to be extended about 2 inches if you wanted it to extend to the edges of the hatch lid.
Just wanted to clear things up for people who are misinformed.
