Is that your pickup up line with all your bar visits by the beach?

Yes but only for the opposite sex..
Sorry
Just ceramic coated it to improve the late Friday night pick up line odds

Yes it is and at different angle for more down force. I’m sure the factory wing is more then enough for the track but love the look of this OEM CF wing and fitment is perfection
I plan on leaving my FL5 stock and unmolested except for maybe some factory upgrades .

Thanks Brother ! I always modify most of my cars and almost always find myself down that rabbit hole
This one I’m going to try my best to leave it mostly stock. This is a special car and the only one I’ve ever owned that made me happy just as it is. With that being said the FL5 is a great platform to personalize and make it your own
Looks like yours is Sonic Grey Pearl to great minds think a like
Love this color shows off the body lines yet not in your face and subdued like the new body style.

Hey guys does anyone know if there was a labeling change for the OEM Carbon wing, 23-25?


“I bought the wing from this guy ***** ******.
Everything looks legit part number everything is correct even the sticker on the wing only thing is I posted it and my guy at Honda part manager saying it’s fake and I’m hoping it’s not because the packaging the numbers are legit.”

I wonder why did the parts manager tell you it is fake

apologies, appears Siri forgot some context. My friend purchased that wing, and a parts manager ridiculed the cost and said it was fake. The manager also made a comment about the part number on the wing and claimed it to be an error, OP doesn't recall the specifics.

I'm not following this. What specifically is the parts manager citing to support the claim the wing is not a Genuine Honda part?

 

[NeRO_CTR]

I don’t have those exact details. Using the pictures I shared and the fact that OP mentioned the cost to the parts manager, is all I have. OP does not recall what was said about the part numbers.

I have the OEM CF console, I've had the OEM CF wing, and now have this Ebay knockoff and also have some create carbon CF pieces. The wing in your picture is genuine.

How does the ebay version compare to OEM? Pics?

It looks great from 5+ feet away. Up close you notice some seams and imperfections though. I originally bought the OEM from an online Honda parts dealer but when it arrived it had a small Crack because it wasn't packed with anything other than the thin cardboard box and a super thin piece of foam wrapped around it. As nice as it was, I didn't feel like it was worth 2k so I took a chance on this Ebay one. It was like $675 and they had a 10% coupon so close to $600. When I noticed all the imperfections I contacted the seller to discuss returning it and they eventually offered to give me $300 to keep it so I did. Eventually if it gets messed up I'm going to get it painted with black pearl to match the car.

Every FL5 owner that sees it thinks it's OEM and I have to show them the seams and imperfections for them to even notice. For 1700$ or even 1400$ less I'm happy. It's covered in pollen right now so not the best pictures
