SPOON S-TAI BUMPER FRONT FOR HONDA CIVIC TYPE R 6BA-FL5 71101-FL5-000

Here are the **key advantages of the genuine Spoon Sports S-Tqi Bumper, Front - Civic Type R FL5 for your Honda Civic Type R 6BA-FL5 (part number 71101-FL5-000): 

🚗 Performance & Cooling Benefits

✅ Improved cooling efficiency

The air ducts on the S-Tai bumper are re-engineered to direct more fresh air toward the radiator and intercooler, helping reduce water and oil temperatures under hard driving (like track sessions). Lower temps help prevent heat-soak and keep power delivery more consistent. 

✅ Brake cooling enhancements

It includes provisions for larger brake ducts (up to ~100 mm), which boost airflow to the brakes. Increased cooling can reduce brake fade during aggressive or extended use — great for track days or spirited drives. 

✅ Space for additional oil coolers

Spoon designed the inner bumper to provide space on both sides for optional oil coolers. That’s ideal if you’re preparing the car for endurance events or very hot conditions where extra cooling is useful. 

🏁 Aerodynamics & Handling

✅ Increased downforce & stability

The bumper’s shape — including its front canards and floor design — was developed through Spoon’s motorsport experience to increase front downforce without adding unnecessary drag, improving traction and stability at higher speeds. 

✅ Better weight distribution feel

More downforce up front helps a front-engine, front-wheel-drive car maintain balance and grip during fast cornering, which can make the handling feel more predictable and planted. 

🎯 Motorsport-Derived Engineering

✅ Track-focused design

This bumper isn’t just visual — it’s born from Spoon’s extensive race experience (e.g., Super Taikyu endurance racing), meaning airflow, cooling, and aerodynamic traits come from real testing data rather than just style. 

🛠️ Fit & Installation Notes

⚠️ Requires painting & test fitting

The piece usually comes in a black gel coat and needs to be painted to match your car. A test fit is recommended before painting to avoid issues later. 

💡 Summary: 

1. The Spoon S-Tai bumper is one of the more functional aerodynamic upgrades you can add to an FL5 Civic Type R. 

2. It improves cooling, brake airflow, and front downforce, all of which help performance on the track and during aggressive driving — without sacrificing engineering credibility since it’s developed by Spoon with motorsport in mind.
