wing spoiler or not?

ok i know this has been mentioned a million times, but i am curious if anyone that has added the spoiler regret it after?

would the tsx lowered with full bodykit look that bad? my last car had it, i didnt mind and it didn't look that bad.

i already know some people like them some don't, but want to know if someone regret adding it, but would also like to hear from those that have it, especially any blue pearl owners

i sort of like it, but then i don't.
i have until monday to decide, dealer will be putting an order for the car.

I have the spoiler on my car without the body kit and it looks good. I'm getting the body kit in the spring so it will make the car look even better. Get the spoiler!!

I've always had spoiler in my cars in the past; however I haven't installed it in my TSX yet for a couple of reasons:
1) The M3 lip looks very good as well so I'm considering it.
2) The spoiler adds weight to the trunk, therefore it doesn't pop up when I press the remote. As a result, I sometimes need to put the stuff down somewhere and manually pop the trunk before I can put it inside.

But other than those, I agree that spoiler would make the TSX look even better with/without the body kit.

I have a black '04 with full OEM body kit. I like it but will go without the spoiler next time or when I get my '06 .

I have it on my 04 CG and I think it goes well. There wasn't a lip spoiler made yet in June 2003, so I went with what was available.

No regrets.

Ive had the spoiler since i got the car and no regrets at all. Once i get the OEM bodykit i think it'll look even better. I like the way it looks but some people dont. It's your own opinion but on my Arctic Blue Pearl i think it looks pretty damn good...ur choice though

This is obviously an opinion thing, but I really don't like the spoiler. I think the car has a really nice line without it and I don't think it adds much. There are actually very few cars I think look better with a spoiler. Like I said this is only my

i wonder if the dealer can make adjustments so the the trunk still fully opens even with the weight of the spoiler?

1) I had one of those crappy spoilers from ebay. they were crappy to say the least. The ends curls up after a year or so. It's too small.

2) If you bought the OEM from Acura rear spoiler, it comes with stiffer springs to compensate for the added weight of the spoiler on the trunk. TSX spoiler does not pop up to fully open, all TSX pops and you have to manually lift the rear trunk up.

I like the spoiler, but I'm not going to get one on mine for 2 reasons.

A. I want a sleek looking car. Not to say the spoiler doesn't add that. But I like the streamline look and the more "professional" look.
B. I don't want holes in my trunk =P. So thats why I'm considering the lip spoilers =]

I wouldn't say what is the best look, because it is a personal choice.

The OEM spoiler gives the TSX a different look. Sportier perhaps.

The spoilerless TSX looks a certain way (clean and classy) and I think that the M3 style spoiler, enhances the clean and classy look.

My daughter loves the look of the OEM spoiler, but I am personally going to go for the M3 look.

You can't make a bad decision, just make the one that you like best.

My personal choice is the lip spoiler for the TSX. I think wing spoiler looks best on a sporty coupe.

Although the TSX already has a high rear deck, I think that the spoiler kinda finishes off the back. It kinda gives a rounded out look when looking directly from the rear. Almost more muscular.

Wing spoiler: just say no. It looks terrible on the TSX.
