Our car is currently without one, I like washing it sans spoiler if you ask me. But the wife said she wants a spoiler, so we shall see our car may get one down the line. But for now I'm quite happy without the spoiler.

you should show your wife pix of a car with and without a spoiler so then you guys can save some money and spending a intake/header

Our ABP TSX has a spoiler for exactly the same reason. I got used to it and now don't mind it being there.

Without most definitely. I've always been a huge fan of the wingless look. The lip spoiler is a different story though. Its subtle which I like.

I really like the looks of the Acura spoiler, but they're 'WAY too expensive! If I find something good looking, and of good quality, I'd be interesting in adding one at some point.

I never liked the oem spoiler, it looks better on the accord, but not with the back lights of the tsx, its out of place. But the m3 is a great idea.

I took off my spoiler over the weekend and it looked ok, but after a couple of days it started to look naked. I put her back and and the world is good now.

The OEM spoiler looks awful.

My TSX doesn't have one.

I apologize if i hurt anyone's feelings by starting this thread but different people have different opinions. Some people prefer having the oem spoilers than others.

Ironic thing is that, if I remember correctly, he said he regretted about the spoiler.

Is it the camera angle or does your car look like it's leaning to one side?

I let some of the air out of my left side tires. I like to give ppl the impression that I'm a really big guy, so they don't try to start any trouble. Seriously, it's just the angle of the parking lot.

It's one I saw on eBay. Kinda pricey but a great fit and good quality paint.

yeah, but what does he know? he still thinks its angry black man week....



anyway, i just got back from an oil change (i had no time to do this one myself) and the service manager said it looked great with the spoiler, especially since i had the body kit as well. however, i think the tsx doesn't look very good with only the spoiler and no kit.

btw, at the dealer, there were at least 30 or so tsxs in the service and sales area combined; i didn't expect to see so many. too bad all of them were stock. has anyone else noticed this compared to when you got the tsx maybe over a year ago?
