TL deck lid spoiler on a TSX?
Has anyone either gotten or investigated getting the TL deck lid spoiler (little lip, not the wing) on a TSX? I was at a (closed - Sun night) Acura dealership and did a rough measurement of a deck lid spoiler that was installed on a TL. It looks like at least length-wise it would fit on a TSX (trunk width appears to be the same). I don't know if the profile of the trunks are different such that on a TSX, it wouldn't sit flush.
Would an Acura dealer do such an installation if it wasn't officially designed for the car? I'm also thinking about adding the TL body side molding, which also appears like it would fit (and at least one other poster mentioned seeing on a TSX at a dealership). I wonder if they'd do it, but not warranty the work (getting the 4yr factory warranty on accessories would be the main reason to get the items installed by the dealer). If they didn't, I guess buying the pieces and then having a local bodyship do the installation would be the alternative.

i remember seen a post about the TL lip spoiler on a TSX, and the conclusion was that the TL has short strunk length, maybe 2 inches.
