questions -clutch/spoiler

The other day I was parked with my radio off (which rare) and windows down and notice that when I press my clutch my car squeaks. I tried to pinpoint where the noise was coming from, but it was somewhat difficult. My clutch seems to be excellent shape, and it only has 60k on it. Is this a sign that it's wearing out, is it just normal? Its not too loud, but enough for me to be concerned. Anyways, my second question. Has anyone added a factory or factory type spoiler to their CL? I'd appreciate any feedback on what type/brand to get and maybe approx. installation prices. Thanks a lot!

I got my factory spoiler from atd1.com. It costs about 290 painted which was as good a proce as i could find any where else. I installed it myself and it only took about 2 hours or so. You have to drill 6 holes in the trunk and it comes with all the other instructions. After you drill the holes i suggest putting a little rust resistant paint on the holes so that you dont get rust on your trunk. Sorry, I am not sure about your clutch though. It has never happened to me.

For the wiring for the brake lamp it came with some things to splice into the third brake light. That took like 15min max, real easy. And sorry about that, SooDARK is right, there are only 4 holes.

Has anyone ever seen any different spoilers that were put on by the dealership. I have seen a different spoiler on a 98-99 CL on the freeway. It has no center mount to the trunk, only mounts on the ends. At the very end of the spoiler, the tips dip downward. I have seen two of these spoilers on two different CL's. Each of them were stock CL's. I was at the Acura dealership off Harbor(here in SO. Cal.) and I asked them about this spoiler. They said there was a different one that some dealerships installed. It was an aftermarket spoiler but never widely used. The next time I see one, I,m pulling the guy over to get a closer look! From the two I've seen they look a hell of alot better than the one I got.

What about that tiny lip spoiler I saw? So far I've liked that the best.
