1993 accord lx wing onto 1992 accord lx

[CB7Kenneth]

Ok so I have a 1993 accord lx (parts car) and I got a 1992 accord lx ( 5spd, just recently purchased.). And I love the oem wing it came with, I really wanna swap it over, so my main question would be, would there be any troubles with the installation? I already have removed the wing, I just wanted to see if anyone had any troubles and experience. Thanks !!

swap over the wiring harness, and the trunk springs. Otherwise easy

LX models didn't com with a wing from the factory, so it was likely a dealer option, or installed by a previous owner.
You could also just swap trunk lids if the color is the same (or if you just want to repaint...)

You'll need to drill holes in the wingless trunk lid. Be sure you have everything matched up carefully. I'd use the old lid to take very careful measurements.
I've never installed a wing, or even removed one from a CB7... but I'm assuming there are rubber/foam gaskets where the wing meets the trunk lid. I would suggest buying new gaskets to ensure there are no leaks. You can likely find them from a Honda dealership (a special order product, I'm sure), or from www.hondaautomotiveparts.com (which IS a Honda dealer, technically... but they're well known for providing a very wide selection of OEM parts via the internet.)

Its not very complicated. On the wingless trunk lid, on the edge underneath there are 4 spots that look like spotwelds. Those are the sport you drill for the outer holes. The 2 middle holes you will need to measure out to make sure you get the right spot.

There are 2 separate wiring harnesses as well for the wing to work right. There is a brake light harness that installs inside the trunk lid, this is for the 3rd brake light on the wing to work

Second, there is a relay harness attached to the antenna. This lowers your antenna when the trunk is opened, otherwise the edge of the wing hits the antenna. Simple to swap over, its all plug and play.
