its not a 3G TL.
3G's didnt have the 3rd brake light in the spoiler....
and WHY the fuck are you buying chit?? didnt you damage your car and have tranny and electrical problems????
you should probably get those fixed before you buy a spoiler....
It looks like a Honda Accord spoiler

^+1 or go to your local acura dealer ask for install instructions theyll give it to you and that will answer your question. Also should come with new torsion bars for the trunk lid as well due to added weight
To be 100% the underside of spoiler will have Acura or logo too I believe IIRC

Looks nice, but wouldn't it be easier to paint before putting it on the car? Well, I guess if the paint booth is actually a car wash there's really only one way to do it

Looks better. Personally I would remove the "TL" esp since your "Acura" is blacked out and yank the dealer decal unless theyre paying you for advertising and call it a day will look much cleaner. I'd also remove the bumper stickers but thats more time investment.

Also the TL emblem is in the wrong place so looks even more like shit.
Get rid of shitty stickers please

Lololol, the bumper stickers were on the car when i bought, i made an serious try at removing them and they were not coming off, also Thoboii, i didnt like the 3.2 decal, so i just removed it and added 'TL'. Im gonna black out the TL emblem as soon as i get a chance.

blow dryer or heatgun and floss could remove the emblems, then a little goof off to clean up adhesive. same for the bumper stickers

I actually own a 2000 tl silver in color with a spoiler.. i have no bumper stickers or dealership advertisements and my acura emblem along with the 3.2 tl is silver in color... looks so nice... never-dull the exhaust tips on top of that and your good to go.. the spoiler makes the car look so much better/sportier imho...if u want to see what the back should look like let me know and ill send a pic here.. but yeah, i dont like the back of your car one bit... but the spoiler add on was a great choice

Any progress on the sticker removal? also, you can get the silver Acura and 3.2 emblems at a junkyard or just paint it black i guess. not feeling the gold tl emblem. The junkyard by where i live always has at least 6-10 2nd gen tl's at any given time.. poor guys

LOL im just now seeing ur reply, I haven't removed the stickers yet, but I do now have the oem 3.2TL badge back on the back, "I don't like the back of your car one bit", good honest opinion, yes, lets see that pic of your car. Gives me ideas on things I should do to mines.
