    *1st Gen Legend flushmount on my CB7*

    I got this spoiler from a junkyard very cheap, $40, thanks to 91accord4door. It's from a 1990 Acura Legend V6 LS coupe. I had often wondered how it would fit on a CB trunk lid after seeing the two cars side by side in another yard. So, I decided to make it work, the best I possibly could. It needs to be recleared, it had hazed over. I'm not too happy w/ the ends, but being raw foam, you can't do much w/ it. I'll comment on this further but I'd like to hear some of your comments and I will get more pics in the daytime soon!

    Like I said, it needs a reclearing and the ends are okay It was basically an experiment that I wanted to go ahead and try. I will get many more very detailed pics in the daylight and give a rundown on what exactly I had to do to install it

        it looks cool from far away. much better than the cb7 flushmount IMO. but up close...i dunno. Im sure with some body work it could be sweet.

        Im thinking if you cut it in the middle, instead of the ends it would look better.

          ^^^ i agree. some body work on the spoiler and it'll look even better. it looks a bit more aggressive than the cb7 flushmount and i like how it actually flares upwards. great pickup and a for trying something different.

              It's a stretch, but I would venture to say it could be molded to CB7 perfection....

                Hey that looks cool. Yeah I think if you cut the middle section out a little and somehow formed it back together u can keep the sides intact however for that particular flushmount the sides aren't shaped to contour a CB7 rear anyways. Props for a cool mod! That flares up just like a 90-91 Kamanari flushmount.

                I sold a 1G Legend sedan flushmount (US Accord Inspire body) version to a member on this board and I'm surprised I haven't seen any pictures of it installed yet..... *cough*







                Another Legend flushmount to look for!

                  Like I said before Dan, props on getting that to fit. I remember looking at those way back when and thinking there wasn't a chance in hell it'd fit.

                  The paint doesn't look all that bad either. I'd probably just hit the ends with a quick skim coat of bondo, or maybe come buildable primer to get rid of the cut marks on the ends, and then you should be good to go.

                    Thank you all for your responses Half Pint, R33, Primo, Maple, Maroonaccord, Kurobei, and Warrior Yes, it is def. rough around the edges!!! I need to improve upon the ends some more, but finding a product that's nearly as flexible as open cell foam is tough! Any bondo would crack right off if someone squeezes it too hard, but buildable primer is a start.

                    I just HAD to cut the ends, there was no way I could get that to work, it did not follow the CB rear quarters @ all, and w/ a finger gap between the back of the spoiler and the rear quarter, it all had to be cut off

                    I'm assuming they're all constructed the same way, but they have a mild steel plate running all the way across for extra ridgidity, and man does it work!

                    Thanks for the comments though!

                        An OEM CB flushmount, I assume That's just unheard of, they didn't know what they had! Good luck w/ the install.

                            look good faraway but up close . if it would extent towards the quarters alil more it would look better.
