TSX trunk lip spoiler

Does anyone know where I can order a trunk lip spoiler for my car? I've seen ones on ebay for what seem to be very low prices, but I'm not sure those are good products to buy. Any suggestions on where to get one?

Ebay-note that not all of them are the same.

Most all of them are cheap price wise because they are just a painted strip of rubber.

If you get one from ebay, buy the ones the xenonspecialist sells.

IMO, they look the best...cleaner than anything else on there.

Is yours bolted on or glued on? The main reason i'm concerned about where I get one from is because I have heard that there are ones that your put on with some adhesive or tape, and there are ones that can be bolted on.

It's a 3M tape mount. The unit was easy to install. I just measured the center point of the trunk lid and marked it on a piece of masking tape (after cleaning), did the same to the spoiler. Slit the paper covering the tape in the middle and peeled back about 6 inches each way, folding the paper to make it stick out from under the spoiler. Positioned the spoiler (tape is very strong, but if you mount a small section first you have a tiny bit of wiggle room after placement until you press it down) to align the two marks. Then, before setting the spoiler, check the end alignment at each end and then push the spoiler down. Then work the paper off the tape in one direction at a time, positioning the spoiler as you like it. That way after you've mounted one side, you can use that side as a template while mounting the other side.

I've had the spoiler through very hot times and it's never loosened one bit. The color match is excellent, and that has been the primary complaint on several other suppliers.

I just suggest you search the threads...you'll find people talking up (and down) all the models. Just read carefully and do it, it's pretty hard to make a mistake if you go with any of the top three or four names.

My spoiler is from Spoiler and Wing King on E-bay, $60 shipped.

I just traded in my 2004 for a 2008 and I wanted to know if lip spoiler from xenonspecialist will fit the 08 model as well. I know it says on EBAY that it's for 04-07 etc.

Yeah, I kinda figured because they all look the same but I wanted to make sure if there wasn't wider in the back or anything.

Most things I know tend to get wider in the butt as they age...myself included!
