If you search on eBay for TSX Lip Spoiler you'll hit him - maybe he'll have that color?

Yeah never never ever buy anything from Delsa...like stated before terrible communication, it took me over a month to get my spoiler, they lied and said they sent me one when they didnt, then I finally got it and it is a bit too short....on the bright side good color matching though!

What is the main difference between the Delsa and Xenonspecialist one (both seen on Ebay) other than price ($60 for Delsa and $70 for Xenon)?
Depending on which one I get, what should I look out for when installing? and What is the best way to install?
Anybody have any problems with the adhesive coming loose?
I would prefer to wait and see if the '07 will have an OEM lip spoiler, but I'd rather pay $90 than $300 (or more)
Thanks for any help

The guy from Delsa has gone to some lenghts for me to confirm the color code I gave him. In Australia we have a color called "Graphite Pearl" It turns out to be the same as your "Carbon Gray Pearl" Code NH 658 P.
I also told the Delsa people that there seemed to be issues with inconsistent lenght of the Lip Spoiler for the Accura TSX/Honda Euro with some prople reporting that theirs is a little short and others a little long. He acknowledged this and said they had spoken with their supplier and had now standardised on 1180mm for the TSX/Euro. He says this leaves about 2mm at each end. You should check for your selves.
The woman from Xenonspecialist has not even acknowledged my request to verify the paint code or a question I asked about them shipping to a US address for me and my having friends then "on Ship" to me here in Australia.
Based on my experience of the 2 companies I will definitley go with Delsa.

I'd be interested to know what you think when you get it and to see some pics would be cool. Thanks

Here is the finished product! Arrived today and wasn't unwrapped more than 45 minutes before it was on the car. Install was easy, just take your time. Measure, and mark the spots you want it to go. Color match was not 100%, but I believe the Glacier Blue Metalic is very difficult to match perfectly. You can really only tell if you're standing right over the top of it. From all other angles, it looks right. It was a tad ligher than the car. I'd call it a 95% match. Also, it was about 1/2" short on each side. In all I was very happy.

looking good not bad at all 1/2" short better then 1/2" longer (only in this case lol)

I yhink overall the spoiler looks pretty good. It's just a bit shorter than I would like myself. Glad you are happy with the result. The car looks good!

Anyone have any up close pics of the rear? Got the xenon one, but it looks like you have to bend it a bit, for it to fit on the trunk. Not sure how far back to place the lip on the trunk.
Nice piece though!

Hah, you're in luck. I also have the xenon one and posted a pic of my lip spoiler long time ago. Hope this helps

Sweet, thanks for the link. I am having the same issue. I went out to install the spoiler and could not tell where it would look best on the trunk. All the way back or up a bit off the rear lip. Still kinda iffy!
