Had the Front/Rear Lower Chrome Bars + Trunk Decklid Spoiler Carbon Fiber Vinyl Wrapped. Really like how it came out and how I can remove the wrap later if I ever get sick of the CF look.

Used the helpful tips provided in the Rear Deck Lid Spoiler thread for mounting the cheaper spoiler (Part# 71700-T2F-A01ZD)

Nice hot 90 degree day in L.A., so it was a good opportunity to mount the spoiler after spending last week prepping the 3M #03614 Auto tape. I doubled up on the tape on some of the center portions that didn't seem to touch the surface with only 1 layer. Worked out well for now!

If you like it, that's all that matters. Front looks good. But, the carbon fiber decklid spoiler on a white trunk looks way out of place.
 
Not a fan of the spoiler. Are you going to wrap the grille and the chrome bar on the trunklid? It looks out of place now.
I think the same, the chrome parts wrapped Carbon Fiber and the spoiler painted white color as the car will make it look better.

However, the way the car has been customized looks much better than its original look.

Good job.

Thanks for the comments. The way the deck lid spoiler design is, I think it looks great either way. That's the beauty of vinyl wrap being able to come off in the future. The way it is wrapped, it is barely tucked around the back to make it easier to remove in the future.

My inspiration was the Mugen Hybrid Accord spoiler. Love the concept but hated that design.

Not going to wrap anything more. My intent isn't to cover up all the chrome. If I did, I'd do the door handles and window trim. My intent was to reduce chrome and have a consistency in the chrome that is left being around the vertical center of the car. So front U grill, door handles, window trim, and trunk bar all will remain chrome.

Nice!

What type of wrap did you use?
Not sure. I had a shop do it, so I'm not too sure.
 
Looks terrible, childish. Also got the point after the first 4-5 pics. Then your trashed it with another 100 photos
 
I like it, the only thing that makes it look wrong is the chrome trunk piece. Destroys the whole setup.

But don't cf that piece, then its too much. Have that chrome piece paint matched and then it will look good.

I agree with that actually. I'd probably color match the door handles too.

Nice! How did you go about dipping?

looks great, i'm just not sure on the spoiler though.. i think it would look better if the car had tints and/or black/gunmetal rims
Looks like you need some new wheels to complete the look.
Going to be putting on the 8th Gen 19" HFPs once I use up the stock tires.

What can I say... I'm a child at heart. Your post makes me want to eat a large pizza with canadian bacon right now.mmMmMMm

What's with the spider?
Dunno? It was just there. I'm an animal lover though so I let it be.
