Did it come painted or did you get it painted? Where are people getting them painted and how much is it costing? Cause I see them unpainted but I dont know how much its gonna cost to get painted...

Yeah, there are always at least 5 or 6 TSXs on the lot at my dealer now, two demos (MT/AT) and one in the show room with all accessories.

Hmm, I dont see it there anymore. Maybe the auction ended. Do a search for lip spoiler.

I've seen a couple TSXes on the road with OEM kit and the OEM spoiler and it actually looked really good.

IMO, the OEM spoiler doesn't look as good in pictures. It makes the back end look a little too high. On the road though, from a little further away the spoiler actually didn't look too big at all. It helped give the car a nice sporty look to complement the OEM kit and I was actually impressed with it.

I'm still up in the air about the OEM spoiler though. I'm thinking I'll get a spoiler a little later after I've done some of the other mods that I want more.

at first i thought the oem spoiler wouldn't look that good; it did make it look like the rear would be too big. but with an oem kit, i have no regrets about it at all. i still think my car would look good with the lip spoiler or no spoiler at all, but i just can't picture my car without it now. i don't think i could live without my oem (replica) spoiler. i think in person it looks even better.

Yeah, one of the reasons why I bought it. The M3 one was too small IMO. I like the lip spoiler better than the OEM, not to say the OEM doesn't look good.

Lip Spoiler Only!!

I was facing the same dilemma but after seeing both on my car the definate choice was the lip spoiler! It adds class and accentuates the "Lines" of the TL. The wing spoiler, in my opinion, cheapens the look and makes it look like it's just another "rice burner"!! Without any spoiler ... it is missing something.

um, ironing boards make it look ricey, not the oem spoiler.

i pulled up to an mr with fog lights and oem body kit and spoiler. it looked surprisingly good since i'm not a big fan of mr. in the end, though, i think the body kit makes the tsx look great rather than the spoiler.

The OEM spoiler for the TSX is a disgrace to the Acura name...

I think that's a raven body kit and it doesn't offer for 04 TL
