Dalokster maybe wasn't the best choice of pics. However if you look at Icey's, it looks pretty sweet. I would have like to of done this mod on my car, if I already didn't have the OEM spoiler.

I got the spoiler off ebay for $57 Shipped

It arrived about a week later.

Heres a list of the steps..

1] Had to measure the wing and cut off about 1/4 inch from both sides on the spoiler.

2] Sanded down the sides so it would be smooth.

3] Went to my acura dealer and found out which body shop they use for painting.

4] Got the spoiler painted in one day.

5] Put the adhesive on the spoiler first. And then ya have to work it from one side to the other.

6] Applied pressure for about 10-15 minutes and it was all done.

Has anyone done any research to see if the 04 TL deck lid spoiler will fit onto the TSX? It is very similar to the M3 lip spoiler, but just a tad bit more aggressive.

i already looked into it. the tl trunk is only 44" wide. so the lip spoiler will be too short to fit.

the dimensions of the tl lip spoiler can also be found on

That's correct, I never installed it. I just used that picture to show how much it was off by... I probably bought the one that didn't fit. Accsuperstar and Sturm bought the correct one off of ebay. I just bought another one on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2466993190

Hopefully this time it will be the correct fit and I will get it painted and installed soon.
