I personally like mine...

1. It helps me see where my tailend is when backing up (my main reason for getting it)
2. I like the looks...gives it a more sportier look vs. a classy look IMO

TSX is one of those cars that look good with or without a spoiler IMO. If you want a more classy/elegant look, go without a spoiler.

I like the spoiler with ground effects, but I don't know which one i'm going to get eventually, but the spoiler is going to be free, so I was just curious what people thought about it, I was debating between that and the internal cd player that plays mp3s, but I think i want to add a gps there later.

spoiler only looks good if you have the body kit, imo

I agree, I know I want to get a body kut it, but don't know which one, but I figure if I can get the spoiler on now, the body kit, which ever one i decide to go for, won't seem as expensive.

Triton, I personally like the spoiler a lot. But, I also think the car looks great without it. If you like it, go for it. The end result of this poll is not important. It is your car, and the only issue of importance is what you want.

Either way, enjoy the new ride!

Personally, I like the spoiler. A buddy of mine got a TL(with spoiler) when I got my TSX and he hounded me until I got the spoiler. After I did, I liked it alot. Adds to the sporty appearance. I am an older TSX driver and have had a ton of compliments on the addition by people such as my mother(now 62). Kinda surprised me to be honest, but do what you want with your car. I do not have the body kit yet but will do that as well when the $'s magically appear.

i like both oem and lip but personally prefer the lip spoiler better

one advantage of having the oem spoiler is you can better gauge where the back end of your car is when backing up

My 99 prelude had a spoiler that i thought was necessary to pull off the back end. However, IMO the TSX has a great ass already.

I like the OEM spoiler.

Also, with having the back window tinted, the integrated brake light is a nice benefit.

The back-end seems incomplete w/o a spoiler IMO. Lip spoiler is too subtle to notice (can only really see it when you're up close).
