Hello everyone! Sorry for the delayed response, so this spoiler is from eBay. They come painted in either black or white, I ended up sanding mine down, priming in, and then painting 3 coats of Modern Steel Metallic and 4 clear coats. If you have a black or white Accord, you are set! They already have your color, but for anyone else, I would recommend finding some paint-matched paint, or taking it to a shop. The paint I got came with a primer, base coat, and clear coat in aerosol cans with a 95% paint match for about $50 on eBay, happy to link that here as well. Honestly, I would recommend taking it to a shop though, as the quotes I received were anywhere from $100-150 which isn't too bad in my opinion!

The spoiler itself goes for $70-85 depending on the supplier and often times includes free shipping. The one linked below is $77.50 with free shipping!

The link for the spoiler is here: For 2018-2020 Honda Accord Painted Glossy Black Trunk Spoiler Wing 18 19 20 | eBay

This link is to a black one, but if you have a white Accord, searching something along the lines of "2018 Accord spoiler" on eBay will find it for you!

Overall, easy install. Once it was painted, I let it cure for a few hours and then lined the back in some generic 3M adhesive that I got from AutoZone for about $5. Zero issues with it staying on or anything.

Let me know if you guys have any other questions! Take care everyone, and Merry Christmas

Sorry to bug you again masonrockett,
I'm ready to buy my spoiler and I'm finding that most of these aftermarket spoilers will not cover the factory spoiler mounting holes. In other words when you remove the factory spoiler there will be holes on top of the trunk lid and the new spoiler will not overlap and cover the holes. The link you posted specifically says it will not cover the factory holes. I've seen people mount these after market spoilers with the factory spoiler still in place. Not the way I want to go. The angle of your picture doesn't really show what you did. Is the spoiler you have covering the factory holes? If so can you tell me where you bought yours from?

Hey Mason! So I currently have an 8th gen V6 coupe and saw this post while trying to research a suspension and wheel set up for my 8th gen.

I had two questions if you don’t mind… First, I plan on lowering mine on BC racing coils but I’m worried it’ll drop the car too low, your ride height looks exactly like what I am hoping to achieve, so I’m curious what was your suspension set up?

Secondly what was the offset/spacers used on your RPF1, it’s hard to find information online about what offset will fit these coupes.

thank you!

Hey man, hope you’re well. I will tell you from experience, BC coils are great for going reallll low on the 8th gen, but they ride pretty rough honestly. Best coils I found for the 8th gen in terms of ride quality and ride height are the Tein Flex Z. They ride just slightly stiffer than stock, and they can get you pretty much as low as you should ever go haha.
The RPF1s were run without spacers, pretty ideal fitment without the need for them. They were 18x9 +35 with 265/40/18 tires all around. I got the fenders rolled as a precautionary measure but there was really no need - wasn’t low enough to warrant it and the offset was enough to help avoid scrubbing.
Definitely not enough info out there for the 8th gen coupes, that was always such a bummer. It was so hard to find much of anything outside of basic bolt on info haha. I spent about a year determining what I should do before landing on the RPF1s, well worth the wait and research though!
Feel free to shoot me any questions you may have! I was FBO, tuned, etc… did about everything you can to the car.

I have a 2015 6+6 coupe and wanted the same wheels but nobody uses these.. it's always the cheapest setup or vossens.

Any who, you said have 18x9 and +35mm offset wheels with 265/40/18 tires. What made you go with 265 all around over 245/255? How's the steering and what brand tire? Trying to figure out sizes for my setup and thought the rear might be better to have 18x9.5 +38mm or +45mm offset to help fill in the gap. Also purchasing some Flex Z's soon

Nice man, you have a sweet car. I agree with you, people either go with something like an XXR or a no-name stancey wheel or some ridiculously expensive wheel like Vossen's on the 8th/9th gen Accords - no in between haha. I thought the RPF1's were a unique look, that old school Honda tuner-esque look. Awesome, super light weight wheels too. My 8th gen was an EX-L and the stock wheels with tires were something like 55 pounds... RPF1's with a significantly meatier tire were 20+ pounds lighter each, lot of weight lost with those wheels and significantly improved rotational mass in all four corners.

I went with 265s because I wanted a meaty set up. 245 would've been too stretched for what I was going for. When I had 265's, they were Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2's. Later down the road, I ended up going with some 255/40/18 Indy 500's which were great and honestly had better grip - just a better tire in my opinion, it is what I run on my 10th gen Accord.

Steering was fine, it would very slightly "walk" a little bit left and right on highways simply due to how wide the tires were on a car that is meant to come with 235's, but it was NOTHING bad and you didn't notice it after about 10 minutes of driving the very first time. 255's completely eliminated this, drove/steered like it was stock.

If you are going with 18x9 and want a pretty meaty looking set up, I would do a 255/40/18 minimum and with 18x9.5 in the rear, I would definitely do a 265 to maintain the look. I will say, the 18x9 square set up was perfect in the front, but a little tucked in the rear simply because the rear needs a wider wheel/tire to fill in the fender. If you did something like 18x8.5 or 18x9 in the front and 18x9.5 or even 18x10 with the right offset in the rear, you will have a perfectly flush set up all around.

You will love the Flex Z's, super great coils that handle dramatically better than stock but still ride very comfortably. Adjustable dampers help them ride like stock or stiffen up to ride like a solid daily driver.
