Trunk Lip Spoiler

Does the trunk lip spoiler only come "prepainted" from Acura dealers or does it need to be painted to match the car?

I'm wondering how well the match of a prepainted spoiler will be against the paint on a car that is now 4-5 yrs old and had exposure to sun and the elements, etc....

OEM spoilers are prepainted as are most aftermarket I have seen.

The OEM deck spoilers are pre-painted. If you are concerned about the colors matching, use a good polish then apply a good coat of wax. If there was oxidation to the original paint, it will be hardly noticeable.

(Zaino zealot mode on) I don't anticipate a problem, though, and can'tdrv's suggestion is best....only I'd go with a nice layer or two of one of the Zaino protectants. (zealot mode off)

If you buy the deck spoiler from an Acura dealer (suggested) give them your VIN and they'll send you the EXACT color. Better safe than sorry.

Easy install too. Dont forget to prep the newly drilled holes with some kind of primer/paint and let it dry before installing the bolts to the spoiler. I used a Rustolium type primer/paint. Any color. Wont be seen.
