Factory or dealer installed spoiler?

Is the CL-S spoiler factory or dealer installed? And how clean is the install?

Because the more I look around, the more I see that dealer installed spoilers aren't as "clean" as factory installed ones.

I'm almost positive that the spoiler doesnt come with the car, they are only installed by the dealer or by other third party installers. Someone correct me if I'm wrong... All the cars with spoilers at my dealer are all very cleanly done.

i would recommend having them installed at the dealer. if you're not happy let them do it over. they usually do it right the first time. i guess, the important thing is, they have been doing it for a while now with the same cars. they have a technique by now.

Not factory installed - not a choice.

It is dealer installed and very straightforward. I have not heard anyone on this board bitch about a dealer screwing this up.

That is CORRECT.
All are done at the dealer or elsewhere.

I had mine installed by the dealer, and I read somewhere that some dealers were installing non-Acura spoilers so I got paranoid and checked under the spoiler and sure enough it had the Acura name.
