I called 2 dealers and they said the charge is going to be.
$148 and it will take 2 hours and the other one said they have to have my car for a half a day.
I think i am get total BS.
But anyone know where i can get it installed in CT?

 

i had mine done for 70 bucks canadian, thats like 48 dollars u.s.

go to aftermarket shops.

 

B.S. I was charged 95 bucks from Tischer Acura. I tipped the mechanic an extra 15 since he went of his way. Total install took 45 minutes. That is bullshit. 148 is pricey. I would look around, but then again, you want it to match up perfect. Good luck!

 

DO IT YOURSELF

are u trying to install OEM spoiler? they should come with instructions.

open your trunk

there should be 2 round small bubbles on each side of the inside of the trunk (on the edge) i believe u just drill where those holes are and just slide the spoiler in there and tighten with the nuts

u should be able to figure out the LED brake light if u look at the layout of the wiring on the trunk. car companies will ALWAYS MAKE OEM INSTALL EASY AS POSSIBLE. the led is probably a plug and play.

just remember not to drill the hole to big or maybe the instructions have specific drill size bit?

the next thing is upgrading the trunk spring so that the trunk spring does not fall on u when u open the trunk.

I have the Replica one bought from spoiler depot. Do I still need to get the new trunk spring?
Can I just tighten it some how?

 

You will need a trunk spring set. Retail is about $35. You can get it here http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.net
for $27.74, or try to have your dealer match their price.

 

Hey...

I have a wing from spoiler depot too and I still haven't had it installed - really don't feel like drilling and possibly screwing up (their "instructions" and hardware were fairly bogus). I've been quoted $60 locally - 1 1/2 hrs tops. Shop around...

Sit tight brother man.... Chikai and myself are doing a Do-it-yourself post on the spolier depot.com spoilers... I installed mine the other day and I just got my clear LED in the mail today...http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...threadid=83918

You will see that info posted there.... about the Clear LED..

As for the springs, Chikai and myself are discussing that this weekend... the spolier is not heavy at all as you probably noticed... but we will have the post up within the next week or so.... sit tight and you can keep your money in your pocket or spend the extra cash on a Clear LED...

Smitty
P.S.. I hope you only paid 199 for the spoiler, paint, and shipping... cuz that is what we got it for... if Not PM me..

 

I bought mine for $199 also. So it wasn't hard to install you said?
I think I am going to try it with my friend this Sunday and since it isn't as heavy do I need the new spring?

 

I installed it and the trunk stayed up just fine... ... Make sure you adjust the rubber stoppers on the trunk (As NSXNEXT instructed on that post I sent you) this will dampen any rattle you may have if you got an upgraded boom box in your trunk...LOL...

If you sit tight I will have every measurement you will need and step by step instructions in the next week or 2.. As soon as Chikai's spoiler gets here we are installing his here...

Danny, how you lovin' the headers?

 

yeah...funny... I actually got that price from CT3.2 the other day...right before I ordered.

Mine is scheduled to arrive next wed or thurs. Smitty and I will probably do the install that weekend. I will try to document every step with my digi cam.

 

I installed my spoiler myself. It really is very easy, don't waste your money.

 

CT3.2: as promised...step by step instructions on spoiler install...total time took about 2hrs cause we were being very careful.
