Spoilers with stock mounting holes?

Looking to buy a Spoon style duckbill/spoiler and remember seeing a thread with a company that made one with the stock spoiler mounting holes. I cannot find the thread anywhere. Are there any companies that do sell duckbill that you dont need to drill new holes? Or are there any other spoilers that use the stock mounting locations or am i stuck having to drill new holes.

And yes, yes i did search

I think you have to drill a couple extra holes for the seibon mugen style spoiler (pretty sure but dont quote me on it)
would also like to know if there is a spoiler that mounts to the stock locations.

guess i'll find out soon enough. i dont care if i have to drill as long as the stock mounting bolts are used in addition or at least covered up. guess i'm calling seibon tomorrow.

In regards to question about the Seibon Spoon Style Duckbill spoiler question.

Name :
Location : CA
Email Address :
Car : Honda Fit
Car's year : 2007
Message : I was wondering if the Seibon Carbon Fider Spoon Style Spoiler
used the OEM mounting holes or do you have to redrill new holes to fit the
spoiler thanks. And if it the same for all 3 styles of the Carbon Fiber
spoilers.
And the reply I got.

Sorry but they do not fit into the stock mounting holes. New holes will be
needed to be drilled out.

that seems wack imo. what's the difference? they could have simply moved over the damn threads to fit. ohh well still gonna get it. have to call them and find out if it covers the existing ones because that would be really stupid if it did not.

all the seibon spoilers you need to redrill the holes. exept for the mugen s spoiler its just double sided tape. but you need to redrill the duck bill. i have it.

N1concepts made a thread on Honda-tech regarding their version 2 Spoon style duckbill, that used stock mounting holes. They took it down a little while later, and when I emailed them about it they said there were some issues with the spoiler, so when they fix that they'll post it up. They posted it up awhile ago though, I think in January or something.

yeh the same thing. you need to redrill the holes.


all these spoilers are mimicked off the jdm fits. unfortunately.

double sided tape works, but i dont trust that.


someone had put the mugen double deck on(j racings type s spoiler)

and he used 1 bolt and the rest was double sided tape.

For your duckbill did you use all 3 holes to mount it? And does it cover all 3 OEM holes?
