Honda OEM Ducktail Spoiler Image
I thought maybe some people would like to see a little better top image of the Honda OEM Ducktail Spoiler that's available as an option in the U.K. for the Accord/TSX. There's quite a bit more size to it than I originally thought. This was taken by a friend of mine from the U.K. who picked this up for me last week. It's currently on its way via airmail and should arrive by the weekend according to tracking information. It's the Graphite Pearl (our CGP). I'll post some photos once it arrives and I have time to install it. I don't have a final delivered price on it as of yet. He needs to calculate and convert all the figures before I pay him. I'm sure it won't be much cheaper than the UK Honda dealership was quoting people, but at least I knew who I was dealing with and wouldn't worry about how and when it was shipped. Chris

I got my M3 lip replica from Tsx536...and it's good, but I think this factory Honda lip spoiler looks so much better. Definitely, let us all know what the price is.

I feel so stupid now..
I was reading and looking at the picture, but since I have a 17 inch monitor
So I had to read without scrolling..
I was looking at the white vent thinking that is a weird looking spoiler

Update: My shipped price was just over $400. Remember that $75 of that was Airmail Shipping Charges. None the less that's still pretty expensive IMO. However it was still less than I was expecting to pay for it. My buddy knew someone at the dealership and I think he got some sort of a minimal discount on it. It will be here around this time next week and I will install it the same day more than likely. It only mounts with Adhesive Strips (no drilling, etc.) and it comes with a new torsion bar also. It is pre-painted for those who asked. C-

i would really like to purchase one of those myself in pwp. think u can make it happen? ive been lookin for a way to get that wing but i dont know anyone from the uk. i was actually gonna try to get the part number and see if the honda dealer here could get it for me. that is a pretty hefty price though, even wit a hook up. but then again. it comes prepainted i assume since its from the factory,everything comes prepainted. so im not sure. but i am interested. anyone down for a group buy? id like to try to lower the price some if we could.

Sorry guys no way can I arrange for any type of a GB on this spoiler. It was simply a friend helping a friend over the pond type thing. I do know Morris @ BPT can get this item and maybe you can guys can contact him and check into it. C-

A Few Pre-Install Pics
OEM Honda Ducktail Spoiler Opened Package: Includes Spoiler, Torsion Bar and Full Install Instructions including 2 paper templates for proper placement.
Spoiler by it's self still mounted to shipping box inserts. Measures 3" in the center and about 2 1/4" on the ends. It's made of high quality fiberglass with 2 bolt mounts (yes you have to drill holes in your deck lid) and also has 3M adhesive strips.
Spoiler turned upside down to show the mounting points and adhesive strips. Also I was surprised to see it's made in Australia.
I can tell you that this is definitely worth the money spent. I have had the M3 type spoiler from xenonspecialists on ebay and this is not even comparable in quality, fit and finish. I was at moda_ways house yesterday afternoon and he absolutely agreed. More pics to follow after it's on later today...Chris

That looks very nice. I can't wait to see what it looks like on your car
I kinda wished that I would have seen that before I bought the Mugen air spoiler.
Ok, maybe not but I think it will look great!
