I HAVE A PROBLEM | Wing Long Term Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 дек 2024
- Hey guys! This is not my typical style video that I upload on the channel but many of you asked for a long term wing review. I finally decided to do one after 8 months of having the wing installed on my car. Note this was a self installed wing. I did not take it to a professional to get it done. Not only did we end up scratching the car in the process but we had the wing a tad higher than normal.
And YES, before you ask. Subscriber builds are still going to be featured on the channel. I just didn't include it on todays video. But don't worry! I promise it will be on the next video!

I installed my wing from ABSdynamics and it’s a full size type R replica, on the highway going 80+ MPH the mid section does wobble a bit, but not audible noises etc, the replicas are suppose to have a little play in them for movement etc, if you do go for a full size wing I do suggest ABSdynamics!
i also have a wing from ABSdynamics, it was quite annoying to put on, but i’ve gone 100+ mph and it’s sturdiness is great! like you said it does wobble a bit in the middle but it’s fantastic
I’ve gotten mines from ABSdynamics and they installed it for me too. They told me it’s normal, and if I didn’t want that, I would have to put stabilizers
I hear many people recommend ABSdynamics wings. Are they better than the other ones available on the market?
@@evelynsosa3927do you have pics of the spoiler? I wanna get one for my hatch as well and heard from them
Love how you adapt to things like that ! Even if it is your fault you take the blame and find solution!!
If you plan on adding the wing back on I recommend you use weather stripping to the base. It’s much thicker and firmer than regular. Double sided 3M Tape.
I took a different approach, went with HFP wing on the top and a duck bill spoiler on the lower wing, very happy with the result and get lots of compliments.
You have pics ?
i got the same car but never cross my mind installing that wing. i feel like even with the wing i dont see it to look like type r. im just happy with what it is. wish u all the best! goodluck with the new wing soon!
just get a duck bill spoiler
You are the man, way to show all aspects of your build.
Your car is still fantastic.
And with a little repair it will be mint again.
Thank you so much for all the videos, they are informative.
And videos like this are as helpful as the other successful ones.
You just saved someone a world of hurt .
Way to go Sir😀
Yeah I just installed the ABS Dynamics wing and it shakes too. Full size type R replica. Imo I feel the shaking comes from the center piece. A carbon version may fix it.
I have a duckbill on my hatch and it looks nice I prefer it more than the type r wing.
Same, duckbills are more tasteful IMO. Having the Type R wings makes it look like a knockoff type r
Nah bro, whether you have it professionally installed or by yourself it’s still the same thing. I did the same mistake with my Civic Sedan last time and will not do it anymore with my Hatchback. Better with the duck bills IMO. 👍🏼
I would recommend abs dynamics for a replica style wing (oem specs) it slightly wobbles but handles well. Other route you can go is getting the real wing from Honda or go towards mugen style wing Or voltex
I would suggest buy a heavy wing like Vortex wing something like that. I also installed a type r replica and professionally installed by a guy who installed this same wing on civic hatchback couple of times but the wing still shakes in the middle. That’s because the middle portion is thin and light compared to type r original wing and it will shake no matter what. To reduce the wobble people need to install ugly stabilizers there is no other choice. This wing will be good for max 2 years. Eventually you have to put a better expensive wing to fix such issue or simply go wingless.
This is why im considering the Aero Flap civic duckbill for my sport touring. The picture of the hatch with this and the type R upper roof spoiler looks great to me
Looks better with the caruse Ive had mine for a while. No probs and no drilling required.
@@Tacticaltaco-kc9be It would be nice if anyone could find a place to order the type R Sportline wing that was only made for Europe. The one we got in the U.S. is obnoxious imo. Also thats the wing i was talking about, apparently there are 2 links to it. I take it you like the duckbill? thinking of impulsively pulling the trigger right now.
I had a professional install mine also ,but the wing naturally shakes even after I had the body shop install it
did you have someone from a body shop do it? how did you find someone to install your wing?
@@royadawson1998 I pretty much called a bunch of different body shops and asked them if they install spoilers 3 of them said yes , after that I picked the shop that was affordable
So sorry to hear that man. Luckily where your car is white, paint matching won't be difficult or too expensive. Hope you find a better wing in the future!
Its pearl, its gonna be expensive.
This only leaves you with a perfect opportunity to get a bigger wing 😉
This is one of the reasons I haven’t put that wing on my fk7.. also drilling holes in my car is not a fun idea. I’m going for the duck bill spoiler. Maybe you can give that a shot if this is something not working out for you.
It’s subtle but nice little spoiler
What are you looking at for the ducktail spoiler
They sell wing stabilizers which fixes the wobble problem but it is only compatible with ABS Dynamics True Size Replica and the actual OEM Type R Wing.
Hey Chris, you should probably just get a duckbill to complete the look instead of risking buying another wing and seeing it wobble again.
Good video. I appreciate the honesty.
Could you just get an oem middle type r wing that will be heavier and prevent them from shaking?
you could, just runs you about 3k, which is insanely overpriced, i know because i called my honda dealer asking for an OEM wing
I feel your pain man, such a shame it didn't work out for you.
Maybe if you are converting to oem size "good choice". But try troubleshooting and ideas to fix it. Maybe it will help others as we all have a little shaking wobble 😆😅🤣😂
Thanks for posting this...I am glad it happens not to my car. I was contemplating adding a spoiler...
I have a 2014 corolla and installed a wing on it and it barely moves and ive been 120 a lot, it doesnt vibrated or make noises either. Its from ikon motorsports
Are you not interested with duck bills? Especially the caruse, makes it look clean. You can also try the sportline, the alternative typeR wing from europe. Cost a lot for sure though
Duck bills are nice too! 😄
Sorry to see it man, I have an almost identical civic and I feel the pain. Hoping to see you get it fixed up soon
just got my wing yesterday and now waiting to install it but now im kinda skeptical on doing it!!!
Don't.
it really depends on how you want your car to look, Chris said it himself its the way he installed it. I'm getting mine professionally done. I suggest you do the same.
Did you use any type of washers between the sheetmetal of the hatch and the screw heads? I didnt think the thin sheet metal would hold up well against 70mph highway speeds pulling on it, hence the outward bow.
That’s what happens when you buy cheap knock off parts
I added a duck bill to mine, but they wanted me to 3m tape it to the existing little wing that's there. 😂 Instead I screwed it in and it looks awesome!! Why don't you install a smaller wing in the mean time. It'll still look awesome
You can put a ducktail
I might do an APR wing or Voltex wing wayyy later on down the line. Aero is kinda my last mod to do to the car after adding power.
i think that the wing has to shake, its normal, its an indicator that the wind its creating force on it. if its screwed it wont fly off.
Where is you bought your wing? Thanks in advance
Try getting a wing stablelizers
I pay to install it but , yess it shakes a lot hahaha, i went to honda dealer just to see and touch the type r spoiler and it’s really hard but still shake a little bit
ohh noo Sorry about that Chris
Lesson learned. Lol
A Type R Sportline Spoiler would look dope on your car 👌✌️
The all Type R style wings have this issue. Your issue is the cheaper smaller sized Replica. The ABS Dynamics flexs much less and the OEM Type R is a bit less than the ABS Dynamics replica. If the shakiness still gets to you even after getting the ABS Dynamics Replica or the actual OEM Honda Type R one, get these stabilizers as they are compatible with ABS and the OEM versions absdynamics.com/products/17-20-honda-civic-5dr-type-r-rear-trunk-spoiler-add-on-stabilizer-v1-set-black.
I figured out a big problem with these spoilers is the nuts in the plastic. If they pull through? Just flip the bolt so it faces out with a washer. I did this and no way this thing is coming off . 😅🤣😂
Hoping for the best! ❤️ live love and learn from the mistake we make with our cars. Hopefully there a way to fix to the problem! 🙏 🙏
hey chris do the holes look ok after being filled ? or can you still tell they are there
I think it looks better without the wing
Nice video
My dream car
What’s the cost for fixing the holes at the body shop? 😬. Honestly, Yuki looks good with or without the wing. But I think you won’t be satisfied until the wing is back and properly installed 😎.
Could you please add the link to buy that rain guard for 4 windows??
Sure.

I bought the same wing. was going to have my honda dealer put it on..shoud i bother?
Just get stabilizers. It makes a world of difference. No shake or vibration even over 120+mph
ok now im glad i didnt get it, i almost pulled the trigger on getting it because without it, it just doesnt look right
It’s really how I installed it on mine. I messed up big time with the installation. Wing is fine.
@@chris_timefk8 what did you do wrong? how much more different would a body shop install be
At higher speed the wing will wobble somewhat. I do not think the body shop would have done a better job installing it. They will drill the same mounting holes for the wing. Maybe the brand of wing you have just flex more than the oem's.
His wing is the ebay cheap and slightly smaller sized one. The ABS Dynamics one and the Type R one flexes much less. They also have wing stabilizers for them but only compatible with those two not the smaller cheaper eBay one.
Robot3RK And the old saying, "You pay for what you get."
Add a duckbill?
I low key fuck with it without the wing ! 😍😍
Hey Chris wanted your opinion, I have a 10th gen hatchback. Was wondering if it's worth it to get the spoiler? And your thoughts do you recommend it? I was sgonna buy it online and see if a shop can install it for me
did you say you you were a little bit high when you installed it??? 😂😂😂 no wonder it’s going so rough dude!! imma have to go back and watch your install video.
sorry that happened to you though brah. that sucks. how long have you been rocking the wing? i have the full size absdynamics wing now for a year with no problems. quite a few road trips, and like 20,000 miles not even wobbling. maybe i should make an installation video 😂😂😂. i think i’m gonna be adding stabilizers, though, just for good measure.
Hi ... i have same problem. I also let a professional garage install it. But it is vibrates like shit. It is annoying really. I was also thinking to take it off nut those hols are ugly.
What did he think a wing is designed to do? Catch wind it will wobble and any wing you put on will wobble somewhat.
Not going to lie it looks good without the wing
What did you use to fill the holes?
Maybe try to use goo gone to clean off the sticker spot from the wing
Looks like the metal was bending. Some big washers may fix the problem.
You got it from Ebay, right?
Thx for your video Chris. Now i feel like i don't wanna buy this spoiler at all!! !!
that miata...... im curious
😳
How much did the body shop charge you to fix it? And how long was the process? I feel like your car looks nice with and without it.
Please let me know where you plan to get your new wing
The R spoiler (fake or not) need no upper wing on the roof.
Anybody got a APR wing on their civic hatch ?
wonder if those wobble for being $1100+
The Problem is Only that You installed One
Lol Chris your title says Wing Lint Term Review! I decided to go for the Duckbill Spoiler just because of the problem you were having. Do you know why exhausts are out of stock?
Haha. Thanks for catching that 😂
It’s fixed now lol.
Also no, I don’t know why exhaust are stock.
Maybe they had some sort of 4th of July sale?
Yeah I was thinking of duckbill too tbh
@@chris_timefk8 No I think there's a steel shortage or something.
Thats why I won't put a wing on my hatchback.
They look great with the wing but those holes are nasty,
Maybe a carbon fiber will be better 🤔
Your car still look good. My have broken rear bumper and its look shit
hope it works out chris, can tell your bummed out
I have a sport. To put a wing on a sport trim is dumb af to begin with
Anyone reading this please I have the same one, should I go for ABS dynamics wing?
Hey man. Nothing seems to be wrong with the wing. It’s just how I installed it is what made me take it down.
@@chris_timefk8 I lowkey like the abs dynamics one better cause is bigger lmao. But hey thanks anyways brother, you are amazing
@@allstarpeppa Im getting my wing painted at the moment and probably gonna get it installed this week, the ABS Dynamics one looks fairly solid in my opinion and i havent even put it on yet. apparently its the closest to the original type r wing .
The ABS Dynamics still wobbles simular to Chris's. The sides are solid. The bigger oem wing size I'm sure complicates the issues. Maybe there are ways to stiffen it up. Fill it with expanding window foam. Adhesive the parts together. But its not going to fly off if the side pieces are solid.
@@baaabygi9399 please keep me updated
where exactly did you get the wing ?
From ebay lol cheap stuff.
Look up for a carbon fiber one they expensive but won't broke like a plastic one
Not the wing :(
Lol when I had a fk7 before I got a FK8 I bought this same wing. I'm going to be honest this replica is really trash, it's a replica of the FK2 Type R and its not really meant for the fk7 at all. I used ABS Dynamics wing mounts and then bought a real fk8 center wing piece, as well as the vortex generator parts, and it worked fine with no wobbling. The center pieces the fk2 replica wings use and even the abs dynamics reps, are very low quality and will flap like crazy. If you're reading this and want to install this, please buy the OEM fk8 center piece with at least the OEM wing holders or replica holders
Think it looks better without the wing.
i got the same wing and the same problem :(
Makes me not want to get a wing, idk if I should get a duckbill or what😫
The oem factory wing is just as weak anyway
Told you to go OEM when you started your channel. Going cheap will cost you more in the long run.
It was a temporary wing. I’ll be back with a better one next time! 😅
Also it was really how I installed the wing. I messed up big time not taking it to get it professionally done.
@@chris_timefk8 Seriously, if you ever need any advice, have any questions or concerns about the FK7, hit me up. Will be starting an Instagram but I do have a Twitter. I have around 30 years of Hondas under my belt and the 2021 FK7 EX is my fifth one I have owned. We got our cars around the same time and I subbed to your channel because I dug the excitement and enthusiasm you had for Yuki. You dove in the game pretty quick. I gather that you want to take good care of your car and protect your investment. My quick advice to you is steer away from the Amazon and eBay stuff because eventually it will fail and disappoint you. The equipment will not stand the test of time, not to mention the elements. Do the research and pay the extra money for OEM or OEM inspired equipment.
We both went different routes for our builds. I am building a complete Mugen Civic and so far, it seems my car is the only Mugen FK7 this side of the world. Mugen makes parts for Honda better than Honda makes them. Everything they make goes through rigorous testing before hitting the market and every part has a purpose. All of their parts are made in Japan. Every part improves the overall experience and feel of the car. They are very expensive but worth every penny. I also network with the finest engineers that work on Hondas that has ever existed. Anything you need to know, I can get you an answer.
Good luck resolving your issue with the hatch. Also, another tip for you. For your Last Fit products, use dielectric grease for the connectors on every single lamp you installed. Trust me on that.
orginal wing
Get it back on quick! Yuk bro
Man I wish you bought your wings on procivic site instead of ebay. 😑
Ricer, go get a real type R
Not a fan of aesthetic mods looks ricey. Red H, yellow film on fogs , clean set up.
I agree but honda oem mods look good imo. If it looks factory to a Honda Civic. Like oem Red H and Oem Type R steeringwheel. Rice to me is China parts, vinyl wraps, plastidip, muffler delete . Thats rice!
@@neoison4915 exactly bro! OEM mods are fine
thats what happens when you try to imitate a type r lol
yea cuz a type r is just a sport hatch with a wing
@@_BLUU_ clown
@@Markdlacrz ??
@@Markdlacrz what’s your point? And you don’t get his point (chris) he said he like the wing because it’s looks nice. Next time he instal under glow Led and you’ll said fast and furious wanna be.
Haters always see stuff from negative way.
Is that right big guy?
Car is ruined. Time to trade it in for a 2022 civic and leave everything stock. Starting to looks like a transformers car
beacuse made in china
