Anyone have pics of their aftermarket spoilers?

I'm about to order an OEM spoiler from AH motor for $480 w/shipping, but then I saw a spoiler at www.sportwing.com for $240 painted. I'm wondering if anyone has pictures of their aftermarker spoilers. Or if they bought it from sportwing and happy with it? Any difference between OEM and the sportwing spoiler? Thanks in advance!

How's the paint quality? Do you have pictures of it on your car?

The paint quality is very good. I will have pics soon, I just learned how to post pics yesterday. I will post up some pics of my car as soon as I get a chance to take some. It looks exactly like the one on the website.

Who installed the wing? and

Was there any problem with the trunk lid poping open since the added weight of the spoiler?

Would the install people at the dealer know the difference bw the stock spolier and the one you got from spoiler depot.


Thanks for the info

I bought my spoiler from http://www.sportwing.com/ . The spoiler looks like the OEM one, but it has a little more curve on the underside. I think it looks better and so did everyone else at the last meet.

The painted it for me and the paint is as close to matching the original as possible. Even when up close, its hard to see a difference in color.

As far as the trunk is concerned, don't expect the trunk to pop up you push the button. It will open, but its a little heavier due to the spoiler. Once the trunk is open, it stays there (not to chop of your head). I actually had Acura adjust the spring to the stronger position, it helps but does not solve the problem.

i also have the sportswing, and am very satisfied, dont have any pics though..paint is perfect.

I like the sportswing more than oem, cause it looks a BIT BIT BIT more round, and makes the car looks a bit more stylish..by no means ricey...

though if there was a cl-s with sportswing spoiler in front of you, without another cl-s with oem spoiler beside it, you would not be able to tell which is which.

installation i gave to a local shop for 40u.s. dollars, its a little scary cause they drill, but just dont look.. Acura charges 110 u.s. dollars JUST for installation..

Does anybody know what material is used to make the spoilers? Aftermarket or Dealer

Is it plastic or fiberglass?
