Spoiler Package

Do you all like the spoiler package add-on (rear, front, side)? I haven't seen to many pictures with it added. I'm thinking about getting it when I make my purchase soon.

I was debating getting it for my coupe but couldn't bring myself to spend the extra 1500. Plus I couldn't decide if I liked it all that much, like you said, there's no pics available.

lol, thats not a concept car, thats the actual accord coupe with the HFP package. also, you can find pics of the coupe with the front, side, and rear spoilers on the honda site. better yet, you can build one

Yeah, lol, I just retracted that concept car statement. I was confusing another article I had just read.

I tried using the build app on the honda site and I just don't like the visualization on the site compared the real thing. I don't now, it's hard to explain, but things looked completely different on the site compared to my actual car when I first set eyes on it. I am afraid the underbody kit would be the same way. It's one of those things I would rather see real pictures of it and probably have to see installed on a car in person before I would buy.

yeah, totally know what you mean, I agree. to me, the angle and color just seems off. for sure, seeing the car in a showroom or just driving by makes it 100 times more sexier than seeing a fake 3-d model/picture of it.

I feel like when I see certain pictures of the 9th gen coupe, it just doesn't seem appealing at all. then I see other pictures or videos or angles, and then I'm all excited and need to change my pants

Exactly, that's how I felt about the coupe until I first saw it in person and was trying to hide my expressions to the salesman to avoid getting hooked. Love at first sight, one week later and 2 test drives later it's mine!

the lip spoilers are ok, I wouldn't go with that 1993 Celica spoiler type crap though, the actual wings type are a big no no.

Ordinarily I wouldn't comment on a matter of aesthetics. I mean, what's the point, really? However, since you asked if "you all" like the spoiler package, I'll offer my uniquely insightful appraisal: It's hideous. It's the formed plastic equivalent of droopy drawers purchased principally by the genetically-challenged who have had essentially no meaningful exposure to the science of fluid mechanics. Not as bad as StreetGlow lighting, but damn close.

that is the definition of cool. (please kill me, lol).

to be honest, when a car gets to that point of ridiculousness, I start to wonder if the owner just did it to mess with us and troll us. maybe hes on a whole other level of thought. like making something so ridiculous and stupid that its funny and acceptable...woah, that was pretty meta right there
