Do you mind asking them how much they will do it for
I know some folks in VA area that will love to have that work done for them maybe that could be some more customers

Thank you for your time

the thing is they need the car there or a type-s bumper to mold the base lip to it. they just dont have a mold there, its custom work. and mine is already attached.

that looks good CubanLynx84, but thats what i was trying to avoid. i wanted and liked that slant around the fogs. but you did have to trim it a bit to get it to go on right?

yeah but what I trimmed was so ridiculous, it's like why did acura even bother to make it the way they did rather then all three lips they have be able to fit both bumper styles.

these guys will hook you up send them your cover pay like $400 wait a month then you'll have a cover like me. thats if they go that low they wanted $500 at first prices may vary.

I'm hopefully gonna mount my Sarona on Sunday (wasn't previously a fan but jptl04 converted me). I shaved it down like he recommended and i have the window weld, tape, putty knife, etc.....Wish me luck.

BTW, can anyone answer this question below.

I went to pull on it to make sure the window weld was still holding and half the damn spoiler pulled up.. Not sure if I didn't put enough on there or what.. Did u use any kind of adhesion promoter?

MAS, i didn't use any promoter just cleaned the surface well and wiped it down with some rubbing alcohol. if you clean both surfaces the window weld will bond them together. good luck.

Sarona roof spoiler, FTW!!!! best looking spoiler out there, (if done right) IMHO!

Got it installed yesterday....looks/feels rock solid.

still need to give remove some glue that oozed out in some areas but all in all great look!

Will post pics when i get a chance.

This mod is not for the faint of heart/wallet...total cost is high for a spoiler but look is very different than other TL's on the road. Go figure a guy stopped me today in a parking lot to compliment the car and he even mentioned he initially didn't notice that it was a four door...NICE....3G TL is a classic!
