Based on that side profile of the silver TSX, I still MUCH prefer the M3 replica and M-style spoilers. My favorite lip spoiler on the TSX so far has been the one on the A-Spec concept, but for some reason, the one in that pic looks larger than the ones I remember seeing on the A-Spec concept pics...
If I went larger, I like the way the Spoon version "flattens" out from the trunk as opposed to the smooth, curvy shape of the UK Honda version...

In the vein of what Amadeus said…
This is getting a little confusing. In the photo that CivicEx1998 posted, the spoiler doesn’t look quite like I expected it to – not like a different view of the same spoiler in that pic that jimstsx provided the link to on the first page of this thread. In the jimstsx photo, the spoiler seems to be a dead ringer for the one in the photos of the A-Spec concept. Seems to me that we won’t be fully confident about what we’d be getting from the UK unless we can see additional, and preferably relatively large, photos. Any thoughts, Jim (or anyone else)? Also, have I calculated correctly that buying the spoiler from Chiswick Honda would cost about $320 (U.S.) plus an unknown shipping charge? I wonder if bringing the cost down with a group order would be a possibility.

£183.00 – Ducktail Spoiler
£75.00 – Shipping Est
At 1.7482 conversion = $451.03 shipped.
I would have to see definitive pictures before I forked out that much cash.

I'm pretty sure if you go to www.honda-access.com you could see what it looks like on the trunk of the car - or in the words of my fore fathers, on the boot of the car! 
edit: Maybe it's just me but I kinda dig the normal spoiler more. That is the "raised" one.

I think the A spec spoiler is actually the ducktail spoiler from honda UK. The silver accord or TSX, is a non know lip spoiler that used to be sold on Ebay for 250, but i think the company is not selling it anymore.
The carbon grey TSX is actually the spoon spoiler made of fiberglass and weight under 1 pounds. I used to have that lip spoiler but had fitment issues. The edges didnt stick properly, and i broke it when i was doing the redone sticking. I have now gotten another lip spoiler.
Be patient as i will post the pics tomorrow, as for now i left the camera video cable at my girl home.

just to refresh any memories that need refreshing
here are the two photos that make me think the euro ducktail and the lip on the A-Spec concept are the same
the ducktail:

the A-Spec:
http://www.import-heaven.net/images/...ncept_04.shtml
more views certainly would help make the comparison more conclusive

Questions for CivicEx1998:
-- The spoiler on your car is definitely the OEM Euro Accord ducktail lip?
-- Assuming the answer is "yes," you're sure that if any of us were to buy one from Chiswick Honda in London, it would be identical to the one on your car -- that is, that there's been no change in the spoiler design since you bought yours? (I'm under the impression that you haven't had yours for very long, so any change in the design seems highly unlikely.) By the way, I notice that the spoiler in the photos you just posted isn't the same color as the car. You didn't buy it prepainted in the car's color?
-- How did you obtain the one you have? just curious about how someone in Macau -- that is where you are, correct? -- would go about it. For all I know, there's a Honda dealer right down the street from where you live. (I, and I'm sure a lot of other people here, don't know much about Macau, other, maybe, than roughly where it is and that it's where a lot of fireworks come from (or at least where they used to come from.)

Since i had both Spoon and the one i posted, i can tell u from IMO, that this looks better. the edges actually curves or blends with the rear of the accord or TSX
I havent installed, it is primed thats y it has a different colour then the car.

If you guys interested in getting it, we can make more pcs for groupbuy. The price we are looking at is US$250/pc (black) & US$280/pc (silver/green) without shipping. Any taker?
I need to get one in the near future!
