rear spoilers

[freddennis]

Hi

Does anyone one have a rear spoiler on there 2nd gen CRV? I've been told they help with gas mileage and look cool. I've seen a plastic type that matches the body trim and a painted type. I'd love to see pictures.

thanks

thanksIs this what you are looking for? It is most of the way down the page (from a forum sponsor). It is the Honda rear air deflector:

Yeah this is the black plastic one I have seen. I'm debating buying it and would like to see some photos, get some input from other owners. The painted ones are about $100 more and look a little different.

I'm also wondering about the front grill trim. Seems expensive for what it is. Out here in Boulder Colorado there are allot of CRV's just like mine so I'd like to differentiate it a bit. It is the perfect car for the environment out here. I have the 2006 SE pewter pearl - I mean my wife does.

thanks for your help.

The in-laws have an 06 SE Pewter Pearl (and an 06 EX in whatever it is called blue). The wife really likes the Pewter Pearl, second choice after after anything red. The black deflector would look good with Pewter Pearl.

Spoilers look good, but don't expect any improvement in gas mileage.

Am I the only person who dosen't like spoilers, I mean they don't really help street legal cars and mostly add drag limiting performance thats why you never really see them on stock Ferrari's, Lambo's, Heck even the Koenigsegg CCX dosen't have one. Truthfully you are better off spending the dough on other things hat can help performance.
