Looks good to me either way, you would probally not even notice it unless someone said something. I would be worried that if some leaned on the center of the wing it would crack, or the weight of the wing in the middle would cause it to sag. It would happen you go to close the deck lid and you grab the spoiler adn crack. I would stay away from doing it.

I would think those supports are there to keep the thing from flying off like that one ricer on youtube!

You might as well put Honda emblems on the car while you're at it. Sorry, not feeling it without center supports.

honda symbols...... ^^^^^you might as well be yourself for jumping on the hater wagon

it looks fine and most people would have no idea they were missing. i know the quality of factory parts and i would be worried about sag and cracks just because of the size of the wing, plus you know some dumb *** buddy of yours will lean on it at a car show and ooooops

the spoiler is more rigid than most think. since the extra spoiler i have didnt sell in my ebay auction, that is why im considering doing this...

spoiler only weighs 20 pounds...

if you have an extra and both match the car perfectly, i say go for it. although, you'll have the problem of having holes in your trunk...

but i dont think it will fly off otherwise. large wings used in racing only have 2 spots where they are attached, and they produce much more downforce and therefore have much more pressure on them.

Don't be a smart ***, your pole sucks and so does the photochop. This is just a useless thread! What are the chances of you doing this anyway?

wow, what a douche of a comment...little uncalled for dont you think...

the comment about the MSPaint job was a joke, which you obviously MISSED!!!

chances are very high i would do this. i have a '95 TA that is my next project car. i would keep the stock TA spoiler that currently on the car and take the one that is in my garage at the moment and remove the center supports. i have the time, the money and the resources to do this...

pull whatever is in your ***, out of it. better yet, just stay out of my thread...
