I think I may buy one just to try it. If it doesn't fit I'm sure I can sell it on Ebay or Acura-TL.com. Has anybody tried this yet?

I don't know if it would look as good on the CL trunks as they do on the TL.

It seems we have an additional fold(bend) in the flat vertical part of our trunk. IMO it should be accented w/ something MORE than a lip.

I agree... we were kind of eyeing that yesterday at the meet and the trunk shape is definitely different. Not sure how good it would look. Since the TL-S trunk is more squared off it seems to fit better.....

The curve of the trunk is the one thing I'm worried about. Is the spoiler flexable enough to accomodate a greater curve?

Also it seems the grade from the rear window to the edge of the trunk is greater on the CL. So I'm not sure if the M5 lip would be too small. I'll make a model of the spoiler this week and see what it looks like.

The spoiler is pretty flexible. I had to bend it a little as well. I stuck the ends on the spoiler, then pulled back as I went so I could match the curve of the TL trunk. I remember last year that Streeteffectz had an M3 spoiler which they held up to a CL and it looked pretty sweet.....
