New RL decklid/lip spoiler

Did a search on this and came up empty.

Saw the new 05 RL yesterday. WOW! Dealer only had one in nighthawk black. Only option: deck lid spoiler for $382. Sorry no pics, but check the link below to "build & price" an RL. As you'll see when you get to Exterior Accessories, it's much beefier than the M3/M5 spoilers, and it resembles the SEMA spoiler where it wraps around the upper part of the "A". It appears to match the curvature of the CL's trunk so here's the question: has anyone checked with an Acura dealer yet to see if the new RL spoiler would fit the CL? (BTW, the dealer was already closed when I dropped by to see the RL).

NOTE: of all the available colors for the new RL, the only spoiler color that matches perfectly for the CL would be NBP.

Good work, hard to tell much from the picture tho. I've always wanted a better lip spoiler than I can find that fits. I have the stock wing spoiler and don't like it.

I think the curve is too sharp. The one we have here looks nice but wrong shape I think.

I looked over the new RL today for quite a while.
Exterior styling is a C- but I like the shorter length a lot, did not seem too big at all.
Interior styling is a B or B+
Tech goodies - A esp. the Navi interface and computer
Audio - A
Value - Don't know, but for $50k I want some style. Does look like a puffy Accord. Not sporty at all like the TL.
Didn't drive it but the best features on the car are the AWD and the paddle shifts.
