This one is dry carbon, shaped to fit the factory FK8 Type R wing, and it sticks on with the included tape. It's the cheapest, easiest way to get more out of the wing your car already has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eRead This First: Factory Wing Only\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eImportant before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis gurney flap is shaped specifically for the \u003cstrong\u003efactory FK8 Type R wing\u003c\/strong\u003e. It's contoured to that wing's trailing edge, so it fits the stock spoiler and not an aftermarket wing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're running the factory wing, this bolts on the extra performance. If you've fitted an aftermarket wing, you'd need a gurney flap made for that wing instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow A Small Tab Adds Real Downforce\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorth explaining, because it's genuinely clever and not obvious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA gurney flap is a small tab mounted perpendicular at the trailing edge of the wing, and despite its size it increases downforce noticeably. Here's why it works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tab creates a small recirculation region and a pair of counter-rotating vortices right behind the trailing edge. That structure does two useful things: it increases the pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces of the wing, which is literally what downforce is, and it helps keep the airflow attached to the upper surface of the wing rather than separating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKeeping the flow attached is the bigger deal. It means the wing can run at a \u003cstrong\u003ehigher angle of attack before it stalls\u003c\/strong\u003e. A wing that stalls, where the airflow separates, suddenly stops making downforce, so pushing that stall point further out lets you run more aggressive wing angles and get more downforce out of the same wing. The gurney flap effectively raises the ceiling on what your wing can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDry Carbon, Super Light\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is the good stuff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's made using the pre-preg \u003cstrong\u003edry carbon\u003c\/strong\u003e process, which produces an extremely lightweight, strong part. On a small aero tab that mounts at the trailing edge of the wing, low weight is exactly what you want, you're not adding meaningful mass out at the back of the car, just the aero benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDry carbon also looks the part, the genuine woven carbon finish that matches a serious build, on a piece that's right in view at the top of the wing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSticks On, No Drilling\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is about as easy as aero gets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt attaches with the included \u003cstrong\u003edouble-sided tape\u003c\/strong\u003e, so there's no drilling into your wing and nothing permanent. Clean the trailing edge, position the flap, and press it on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs with any adhesive install, surface prep matters: clean the mounting area with isopropyl alcohol first so you're bonding to a clean surface, and work somewhere warm so the tape grips properly. Done right, it stays put, and because it's tape rather than hardware, it's reversible if you ever want the wing back to stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R (FK8), factory wing only\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAttaches with included double-sided tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWho Should Grab This\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is for the FK8 owner who wants more out of the factory wing without buying a whole new one, and who tracks the car enough to appreciate the extra downforce and the higher stall angle it allows. Dry carbon, feather light, and a tape-on install with nothing drilled. It's the cheapest meaningful aero upgrade you can make to the wing you already have.
