The CF wing looks great but it’s a let down there’s no other CF bits from aside from stick on CF for the interior. I would be nice if the trim pieces were molded from actual CF.

Utter waste of money IMO unless you got cash to burn.
carbon isn’t going to make that car any faster.

The upgraded interior trim pieces are also made from dry carbon fiber with red threading.

Worth it. Period. You won't save money on an aftermarket one that is legit. The only reason to buy an aftermarket carbon wing is if Honda didn't offer it. But they do.

Does anyone have a link to the article about the technical performance of the CF wing? It's mentioned on the first page but I can't find it...

The Modulo infomercial is as good as it gets. I have not seen any technical data of the CF Wing, but it does change how the car drives.

You'll hear the change in airflow at the back. The car will rotate with you just like what DK says in the infomercial.

It was def 2 pounds lighter than stock. Took about 10 minutes to install. Love that the ride looks more aggressive back there!

Do you guys PPF your CF wing, or does it just have too many angles to have it done cleanly?
I did not PPF it and there's no need IMHO. I did have it ceramic coated (Gtechniq CSL + EXOv4 + C2v3).

I just picked up the one for the FK8, which is a simpler design (basically just a mid-section replacement). Dropped it off for PPF + ceramic, but only the top surface was done, and some of it wrapped around the edges. Claimed it wouldn't look "clean" if they tried doing it all around the curve-shaped edges front and back. Wasn't too thrilled lol.

Have them redo it. They shouldn't tell you what's "clean" and what's not. They should give you options and let you decide.
