Thank you so much, the OE directions and the video helped immensely. I was able to install the spoiler in about 45 minutes from start to finish. Toughest part was drilling huge holes in a 3 day old car :). A few tips, if you cant find a 35mm hole saw then 1 1/2" hole saw would do just fine. Initial marking with a heated pin isnt really necessary, drill points can be marked with a sharpie and then a small hole punch can be used to make sure drill bit doesnt slip. I used 1/8" drill bit to drill the initial pilot hole. The OE rivnut tool is $100 and some change,no dealer is lending it out as far as I know, I had to improvise and use a grade 12 m6 bolt, nut and a washer to get that job done. If you google DIY rivnut tool it can bring up a few tutorials how to make one. I used grade 12 bolt to make sure the threads on the bolts dont strip as I had to use it at least 6 times to do all 6 holes. When you peal the protective strips off of the double sided tape sections, make sure to bring it back an inch or so and then tape it to the side of the piece to make sure they dont curl back inside the side rest pieces (black). I installed the metal brackets as indicated in the video and set everything else loosely in place, tighten the three bolts on each side of the center piece onto the metal brackets first before securing the black metal bracket covers in place first and then pealing the double sided tape protective strips. Hope this helps for anyone looking to install the spoiler themself.

Do you have a pic of the tool you use ?

[@C1aYalC]

I am doing this next week on my 2 week old Civic ST. Nervous as can be about drilling into it but I’d honestly rather do it myself than pay someone $500 (what I’ve been quoted) who may skip some steps or do things lazily.

[@nikprice3332]

Thank you for this comment!

[@plightn]

Wow I hope they all get installed with that kind of care and attention to detail.

[@YagurlShey]

I Just had one installed on my 2022 Civic Hatchback Sport Touring about a week ago. I recommend having a dealer/professional do this one. The rest of the HPD accessories you can do it yourself.

[@CollegeHillsHondaAccessories]

Agreed.

[@rosaliakincaid6882]

@@hi5o386 each dealership has a different price. I called 3 and the prices ranged $400-440 for the part. Install at my dealership was $350

[@Archt1cStreams]

Love how it looks. Can’t wait to install this on my Civic Sport Touring. Really appreciate the video! I’m willing to do this myself instead of shelling out the 300 they are asking for.

[@xp50player]

Just got mine done at the dealer. Took them 4.5 hours. It was their first one.

How much they charged

[@Oliver0200]

Jeez. Hopefully they did it correctly.

Got my Rallye Red Spoiler from you all last week - been shopping around for anywhere to install it and everywhere, even dealers, are $400+ Got your instructions and this video and will be installing it myself next week. Cannot believe I’m drilling 6 MASSIVE holes into a car that’s barely 2 weeks old. Nervous as hell

[@judo_flip6581]

How did it go?

[@C1aYalC]

@@judo_flip6581 lol KZbin JUST now sent me an email saying you’d commented on this. Only a month late but it went really well. Once that first little hole was drilled everything else went smooth as silk

[@ybrik5937]

No need to apply touch-up paint on the exposed cross-section of the metal after drilling?

[@retroguy1976]

the only thing I hate about that spoiler is not enough clearance if you need to swap out the rear wiper blade after its worn out I noticed that the first time I saw that setup at the sema show

[@ricanredliner]

Look up the oem Honda ducktail spoiler for the hatch. A guy has a video on it looks way better.

[@Neon-jn3sp]

Hey, just ordered the spoiler! Where can I buy the struts that you used in the video? Thanks!

[@Luridmoirai]

Does grinding in to the body like that mess with the clear coat? Like rough edges aging poorly over time?

[@nastysoda9212]

yes, they don't care

[@chemieng]

How much dealership charge for this installation?

[@pillred5974]

I would worry about the rust forming under the spoiler where you drilled and did not treat the bare metal, other than that a great job.

[@StylesBlender]

Rust will form around those edges for sure

[@Mushroomhaus0001]

Thanks for the video! Could you do one on the Hatchback HPD front lower bumper things? That’s the only one I haven’t seen.

[@CollegeHillsHondaAccessories]

We are trying to find an available vehicle so we can film those.

[@ubertherapy]

I’m in the Ohio area several times a month. How about I bring my 2024 civic hatchback? I’ll buy the parts from you if you do the install for free!

[@Jonathan_Ace]

I really want to get this spoiler installed but am concerned that the service guy installing it will screw something up, not worth taking that risk.

[@CollegeHillsHondaAccessories]

Have a master tech at a Honda dealer install it.

[@JR-dd7sl]

That’s my fear too. But, I guess if they do; they have to fix it, so…. 😀

[@stateniland]

a HONDA dealership will do it just fine.. they are taught how. And if they cause any imperfections they have to fix it FOR FREE

[@Oliver0200]

​@@stateniland lol you think techs are taught anything? They learn by doing it. I know because it's what I do.

[@StylesBlender]

Will rust

[@Loso0523]

I want to get one installed on my 22 hatch😩

[@brucezhu9449]

I don't quite understand why the tailgate support strut needs to be replaced in the very beginning of this video.

[@CollegeHillsHondaAccessories]

Due to the added weight of the spoiler.

[@chemieng]

Are you using a special tool to install the nuts? I’m not sure what you’re tying. Thanks!

[@hi5o386]

please upload one for the spoiler, front underbody thank u

[@CollegeHillsHondaAccessories]

We hope to have that filmed next month.

[@FlyingDoctorC]

Very nice

[@detroyergamer5245]

What if honda fail to fit the hpd kit properly does they give u any compensation or lower the msrp

[@CollegeHillsHondaAccessories]

Have a skilled Honda Technician install it and that won't be a concern.

[@JustTryGambling]

That is going to vary depending on the store and their labor rate. If you are looking for an estimate allow $125-$200.
