What makes this a "crane neck" wing design?

Crane neck refers to the swan-neck style mount, where the wing stay attaches from above rather than from below through the wing surface. This keeps the underside of the wing clear, reducing airflow disruption compared with a conventional twin-upright mount, which is part of why Spoon Sports developed this configuration through CFD and wind tunnel testing.

How was this wing developed?

Spoon Sports started with CFD analysis to shape size, structure and wing angle, then built multiple prototypes and tested them in a wind tunnel for drag and downforce. The best-performing designs went on to real-world track testing, with final adjustments made after extensive comparison and feedback, so the finished wing reflects both simulated and on-track validation.

What is the wing made from?

The main wing and end plates are wet carbon fiber, while the wing stay is aluminum. That combination keeps the aerodynamic surfaces light while giving the structural mounting points the strength aluminum provides.

How much does the Spoon Sports Carbon Crane Neck Wing weigh?

4.5kg (9.9lbs) at a 1550mm width. That's a relatively light complete wing assembly for its span, reflecting the wet carbon construction used across the main wing and end plates.

Is this wing legal for street use?

It's built to Japan Safety Standard compliance, so it meets that regulatory bar. Confirm your own local regulations before fitting it to a car intended for road use, since standards vary by country and region.

Which Civic Type R does this fit?

The FL5, 2023 and later. This is the current-generation Civic Type R, and this wing is developed specifically around that chassis rather than being a universal-fit part adapted to it.

Description

Spoon Sports Carbon Crane Neck Wing for FL5 Honda Civic Type R

Aerodynamics is a key element in modern tuning, and with the Civic Type R already delivering exceptional performance, Spoon Sports aimed to develop a rear wing with versatile setup options optimized for motorsports.

Design

From the beginning, Spoon Sports utilized CFD (computational fluid dynamics) mechanics in the design process, followed by wind tunnel testing to validate performance. The team carefully considered factors such as size, structure, and wing angles, producing multiple prototypes for evaluation. These prototypes were subjected to wind tunnel tests to assess drag and downforce, with the best-performing designs undergoing further real-world testing on the track. After extensive comparisons and feedback, final adjustments were made to perfect the design.
By integrating CFD from the outset, conducting rigorous tests, and refining prototypes through both wind tunnel and track testing, Spoon Sports ensured a comprehensive development process. The result is a product they are confident in, delivering both efficiency and high performance.

About Spoon Sports

Spoon Sports’ journey has been an extraordinary voyage. From the early years of Honda, Spoon Sports became deeply immersed in motor racing with cars like the N model, dating back to the 1970s. Fueled by a love for automobiles, Spoon Sports raced passionately through the 1980s, and by the 1990s, the brand expanded its racing endeavors overseas in various endurance competitions. For over 40 years, a deep admiration for Honda sports cars has driven the company’s progress, leading to the development of groundbreaking tuning parts such as the carbon hood, monocoque aluminum opposed atypical calipers, and throttle bodies. This philosophy, or “Spoon-ism,” is what gave birth to the brand, Spoon Sports. It is the brand that transforms revolutionary ideas and philosophies into tangible, high-performance products. Spoon Sports’ originality and product philosophy are embedded in every product. As long as there are enthusiasts who share a passion for Honda sports cars, Spoon Sports’ voyage will continue.

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
