RESULT JAPAN GT WING FOR HONDA CIVIC TYPE R FL5 RESULTJAPAN-00148
Here’s a concise, technical rundown of the advantages of the RESULT JAPAN GT WING (RESULTJAPAN-00148) for the Honda Civic Type R (FL5).
Key technical advantages
- True GT-style wing planform → more rear downforce at speed.
The large, dedicated wing surface (overall width ≈ 1,530 mm) increases pressure differential over the rear, producing added rear downforce and improving high-speed stability and cornering grip versus the OEM low spoiler. - Direct replacement using OEM die-cast stays (bolt-on fitment).
The wing is designed to mount to the stock aluminum die-cast stays (you remove the OEM wing surface and fit the RESULT JAPAN wing to the existing mounts), so structural loading points remain OEM — simpler install and better structural reliability than aftermarkets that require new mount points. - Available in lightweight / aero materials (FRP or carbon options).
Listings show FRP as standard (unpainted/paint-ready) and carbon fiber variants offered — carbon option reduces mass aloft and improves stiffness for better aero efficiency and reduced pitching/oscillation. - Manufactured to meet inspection / width constraints.
The product is produced with the intention of staying within Japanese inspection dimensions for width/rear overhang — reduces legal/inspection hassles compared with oversize track wings. Still, check local inspector guidance for your region. - Finished options and quality control (painted urethane clear / unpainted).
You can order painted (urethane clear coat finish) or unpainted (paint-ready) — painted option reduces prep work and protects the aero surface; unpainted suits custom paint shops. Parts are typically made-to-order so workmanship and finish are emphasized. - Track-inspired rear profile + improved airflow tailoring.
Compared with the OEM flap/spoiler geometry, the GT wing provides a more abrupt wake shaping and stronger downwash onto the diffuser / rear bumper region, which helps the rear axle bite under braking and turn-in. (Product descriptions emphasize “motorsport-inspired” rear profile.)
Practical notes / installation tips
- Because the wing replaces the wing surface only, the OEM die-cast stays are reused — have the OEM hardware inspected for corrosion/wear before reinstalling.
- Professional fitting & paint recommended for FRP parts (unpainted pieces may have minor surface imperfections and need proper primer/urethane).
- If you choose carbon, confirm exact weight and stiffness spec with seller (some listings use “carbon” loosely) and ask about clearcoat/UV protection.
