Tips for Painting and Installing Body Accessories - Type R Civic Rear Wing

- In this video I install a Type R rear wing on a 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback. There are some assembly tips including the use of Loctite, weather stripping, and drilling holes in the body. I go through all of the steps how to install this wing, but it applies to most exterior mounting of accessories.

Awesome video Pete always a pleasure watching all your content keep them coming thank you 🙏
Thanks, will do!
Nice work sir, a true craftsman. I can't help but watch any video you provide. Really value your opinion.
I appreciate that!
I have no idea why anyone would want something like that wing on their car, but is was fun watching you do it and listening to that great boogie guitar. Thanks as always.
I'm not a huge fan either, but I don't argue with the owner....lol
@@PetesGarage Yep, business is business and the customer is always right, even when the aren't! You will live long and prosper.
WOW, whar a great paint job..
Thanks 👍
thats a pretty cool workbench you got there
I'll finish it someday
Always a pleasure.
Thanks!
Hey Pete
Reading some of the comments before this one. I too am surprised by the Honda. However my thought was "Cool for Pete he has opened his doors to the tuner crowd". Another revenue stream. As you stated earlier it's a painting and installation video. Nothing more. Funny how people view things. Thanks for all the good advice.
Thanks David, you're right, it doesn't matter what's under it. I saw some tuner kids installing these on video, they missed the finer tips on the install
Only Pete would use his AC Cobra as a work bench. Nice install Pete. Go Bills!
At least I can say I'm working on it....lol
Very nice.You got me subs your channel
Thanks for the sub!
Hey Pete I love your videos, even learned how to build my 350 for my square body from your videos. I was wondering if you could do a newer 5.7 hemi build series some time?
I will try
Great Video Pete! wouldyou know what size those screws that are used to attach the wing to the car is? the 2 long ones and the 2 shorter ones,
I'm sorry I don't
Hey Pete great video! I changed my trailblazer 4.2L I6 oil yesterday and it was showing bad signs of wear. I want to rebuild it or rebuild one from a junk yard I was wondering if there was a book that listed step by step or Atleast have all the torque specs in one spot?
Those are pretty easy to find on a web search
Thanks for the video! Helped me out so much. I have to ask, what exhaust do you have on that civic? Sounds rowdy
Straight pipe exhaust out a 4 tip trumpet
Pete, did you have any issues with the single black bolt that is used to hold the cover plate on either side? Mine is like only going in 3/4 way and I may have to use some washers.....thoughts?
No, it may be stripped, tap the hole out
Hi. From what company did you get that wing from. Need one for my civic hatchback. Thanks!
Great video !:) wouldn't double sided horrible tape be a better option to avoid squeakint / movement vs weather stripping? I just was thinking it would help hold it in place and there for reduce movement more than the weather stripping . But wasnt sure.
Also any issues with hatch staying up due to added weight from spoiler?
That could work. The added weight does make the hatch difficult to stay open
I bought my wing from Pro Civic. I have a lot of hardware that they sent me. Am I supposed to use all of it? Lots of washers and washer nuts
I had hardware leftover too
i have the same template and when i put it against the base of the winglet supports it looks like the template is a tad bit bigger. wad that template provided with the box or did you print that one yourself? if thats the one that ABS Dynamics ships out, did you have alignment issues? doesnt look like you did but i feel like this template will give me holes that are off.
Mine came with the wing
Helpful enough so we can do it. I laughed at the Frank part.
Frank is all over
Did I hear the word "Honda" on Pete's Garage? Aargh. I hope my therapist has an opening tomorrow.
I 'know I know.....it's all about the painting and installation tips
@@PetesGarage I get it it. Just harpoonin' ya. Ironically, about 20 min prior to this vid, I ordered a correct near-$500 rear spoiler kit for my 1970 429CJ Cyclone Spoiler. Last "major" piece I needed.
Sounds cool
Looks like you're using Wiha screwdrivers. I have a set and they are great!
Yes they are!
What kind of weather stripping do you recommend?
Most any will work
That wing adds at least 20 horsepower! Good tip Pete not using loctite in this case. 👍
22...lol
Where in NY are you located? Just wondering if you’re around my area.
Buffalo, NY
bonjour,
est ce que ça serait possible d'avoir le lien du site dans lequel vous avez acheter l'aileron de la type R ?
je vous en remercie d'avance

Do you know where I can buy similar hardware?
Try Fastenal
Would you recommend filling the wing with expanding foam?
I do not see a reason to, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt
@@PetesGarage I bought a typeR wing that wasn’t really good plastic and it ended up cracking with a lot of highway driving
@@hxcfixed7924 where did you buy it from and for how much, if you don't mind me asking? I'm currently looking at ABS Dynamics since it's pre-painted
@@RocketEclipz it’s pretty much that one but idk what brand
I got one of these for my 2017 civic ex. It's not a hatchback. I am terrified of putting this on. I'm scared of messing it up. I'd say the spoiler weighs about 8 lbs
You can do it if you try
@@PetesGarage ended up doing it. Took about 2 hours and alot of patience. The non hatch is definitely an obstacle. Thanks for the helpful video
Great job!
Your template looks better than mine...how do I get a copy?
I'd look online or ask the manufacturer

Where can i get a replica?
Web search
What size screw to mount the spoiler?
I think they were 6mm
@@PetesGarage thanks, cause I bought a M style GT spoiler for my Fk7 & wasn’t sure on that. Thanks!
@PetesGarage 6mm by ?
What size step drill did you use?
I have so many, any size has similar steps
@@PetesGarage thanks for the tip!
@@PetesGarage one more question, what size drill bit did you use to make the small holes before using the step drill?
1/8"
I want this done to my car .
You can do it
Noice!
Wish I had a Cobra work bench in my shop. 😁
I do that so I can tell people I'm working on the Cobra
@@PetesGarage On it vs. Next to it. Makes sense to me. Have a great 2021 Pete!
Hello there anyone can help me out 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 I'm looking for Honda civic 2012 serie 9 / rear wing spoiler. Website or any commet where I can find 🙏🙏thank you everyone 🙏🙏🙏
HahA frank!!! Whats he doing in there!! Haha
He is all over the place
Can anyone tell me how much paint did he used?
The smallest amount you can buy. Depending on the paint it gets thinned 1:1 so 4 ounces is plenty
@@PetesGarage I appreciate this, thanks mate I just received my own type r spoiler and i want to paint it
Spray some sealer first, then your base/clear
Im in need of that template anyone know where i can download it
I do not
Ich suche auch noch danach

Those spoilers can double as a handle to push the cars when they break down.
Honda?
@@lilo2469 yeah, all the imports.
Possibly
