I've seen both spoilers and consider the wing spoiler to look like some boy racer add-on that does nothing to compliment the original lines of the car. I'd take them up on their offer as the lid spoiler doesn't detract from the clean lines the car has. Nice car by the way, I'm driving the same thing, no spoiler with the V6, very happy with the Mystic Green color choice.

At this point, I'd take the existing spoiler, for free....particularly since it's acceptable to you and you've never seen the wing. I wouldn't want a new trunk lid with 'hopefully' the same paint redone by the dealership.
Take the freebie lip, pocket the wing money.

I agree with the above posts. Take the freebie. The paint on a new trunk lid will never match exactly.
I'm not a spoiler fan but the I think the "wrong" one in this case is the better looking, IMHO.

As others have said, stick with the lip spoiler. IMO, it looks classier on the sedan than a wing spoiler would. On the flip side; if you're dying to have a wing spoiler, with the car being so new, I don't think there'd be any issue with the paint matching. If it didn't match, the difference would be so minor that simply skipping a wax job on the trunk lid would bring it in line in just a few (sunny) weeks.

Personally, I prefer the wing spoiler, and if that's what you wanted you should get it. The lip spoilers look glued on, and are not very attractive IMO. But hey, if you are satisfied with the lip spoiler that's ok. I would not settle for something I didn't want.

Katana Pilot has posted many things on different web sites about the headlight flickering issue. After a lot of work the state of Georgia has declared the car defective and honda has been requested to buy it back..kudos to Katana Pilot for his tenacious efforts to resolve this problem. I know of at least 2 other cars that will be joining him in the Georgia arbitration suit.
Thanks for your hard work KP I surely appreciate it.

I was wondering if you had more information on this and the Georgia suit. I would like nothng more than to have California follow suit. This is crazy what this car does. If you can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
