Cheap Factory Style Spoiler

sleeper

yeah, i got mine from that seller and it came out really well. the paint and spoiler shape was terrific. however, from really up close, the light fixture it isn't a completely perfect replica. but for the price, it was just as good for me. the lighting wires are a little tricky to deal with and the instructions are kind of generic, but common sense will guide you.

i'll see if i can get some pics of it on this thread with and without the lights on by Friday.

I also think that the OEM spoiler's sticker price of $800 (with installation) is too expensive. But for me I'm not ready to take this risk on the biggest investment I will have made in my life. Since I'm already paying 28,000 dollars, I might as well pay for the extra $500. I know, with this attitude, I'm likely to be slaughtered by the car dealer but hopefully it won't be so bad.

You can buy the OEM spoiler for $475 online. My dealer charged me $580 for the spoiler;installed. I would go with the OEM because it comes with new trunk struts, to help with the added weight of the spoiler. The OEM also has "TSX" imprinted on the underside of the wing.

the kit i bought comes with a thin water-proof pad for the contact point, but i used a thin layer of water-proof sealant and caulking at the bolts for increased protection. that makes the unit solid. however, it's true that the trunk lid becomes heavier. but if you are gentle (i.e. not slamming it shut all the time) with it like you would normally be, it isn't a big deal.

although if you can get an oem installed for less than $600, that's a pretty good deal and even i'd be inclined to take it. good luck with the addition. even if you buy the oem spoiler, i figure i'll still get some pics up here on monday for anyone considering a replica.
