Dude, a wings are for losers. A stupid wing will not give you any downforce unless you are going VERY fast, and then it has to be of proper design and integrated into the overall aerodynamics of the car. Not to mention these cars are FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. I seriously hope you guys are kidding.

Civic guy84, and roger...

I suggest both of you search this site for some info about your cars, if you even have Civics. The "wing saves a second or two" comment shows me that you're either uneducated, or you're being a smart ***. Being uneducated is fine, we were all there once, although some won't admit it . We are more than willing to help, but you need to help yourself first, and do some research. Good luck
