I bought the xenonspecialist one, and the white paint wasn't the same color, and the length of it hung a little longer than the trunk lid. I wouldn't say perfect, but for 85 bucks, what can you expect? I ended up taking it off....

I got about 5mm left on each side too off my OEM trunk llip spoiler.

I also have the lip spoiler from xenonspecialist on my 04 CGP. The color match and length are perfect. The gap on either end depends somewhat on placement. I would be sure to mark the exact location with masking tape before sticking it on. It was easy to do, and I love the look.

wow, thats nearlly perfect fit. Maybe 0.4mm gap or even 0.3mm.
I am actually suprised to see my my OEM lip spoiler (the one from UK) actually leaves about 5mm on each side. The lip spoiler itself is about 1 cm shorter then the trunk lenght.

Hey, CivicEx1998, those of us who've contemplated ordering the ducktail spoiler from a dealership in England have been waiting since late April to see a photo of the spoiler that was brought back from England for you. Hearing about how the spoiler fits is interesting, but we'd be more interested in seeing a photo. If the photo was posted and I somehow missed it, please, someone direct me where to look.

I am considering the same thing JTSO. I know Home Depot carries some but they are to thick. Anybody have recommendations on where to pick up some thinner 3M tape? Maybe a body shop?

its more $ than the ebay stuff but its also not cheap plastic... they'll color match your paint code too for like $250ish.
its where I got mine. however just beware... have it bolted down cuz mine fell off from that damn 3M double sided tape. if there is a gap and it gets wet it'll slide right off.
the spoilers are a thicker and taller than the one shown above... probably about the same as the oem TL decklid or 05-06 rsx-s spoilers.

that's the fibreglass spoon-style replica.
there are some ppl on here that have it. originally i was going to get that. but then i saw a buddy of mine's spoiler on his g35 that was a replica outta fibreglass and it chipped. plus, there was some slight warping where it was bolted down. i figured i didn't want to deal with those prospects, so the rubbery xenon spoiler was a good choice.

snapped some quick pix of my spoiler so you guys could see the difference.
unfortunatly its rainy out today and my car is MUCH dirtier than JTso's but you'll get the idea.
The specks on the spoiler in the close up shots is dirt from my buildings CRAP ass driveway... i would die for some heated underground parking right around now.

other than the 3M tape sucking ass and the spoiler falling off (thank god it wasn't while I was driving).
I spent like $250 on the spoiler and $30 having it bolted on so $280 which is still just a little less than the OEM on and having it installed at Acura for $99.
your call on the $ but I like it and think it was worth it.
