If it's a real factory spoiler, painted to match your car, that's a bargain. The factory spoiler from Ray Laks costs $467. It should come with all the mounting hardware which includes the wiring harness, new torsion bars for the trunk, etc.

yeah, i asked if it came with all the hardware including the new trunk springs and the guy said, "yes it does, even the trunk spring removal tool." and it is a real factory spoiler, in stock, in my color.

BUY IT! That's a bargain!

FedEx is due to deliver my spoiler today and I will be installing it this weekend.

Can you get a better deal w/ an after market spoiler painted to match your car's color for less? Yes but you will have to either install it yourself or pay someone to do it. Also you will need the stiffer torsion springs and the tool to install it.

If you are a DIY person it will cost you no more than $225 for everything. But if you are not then if $379 is the installed price then it's a good deal.

When I got mine, painting it to OEM color (matched perfectly) was an additional $50. The springs can be bought from any Acura dealers but most local dealers will overprice them. I got mine from an online Acura dealer fro $35. Make sure you get the tool used to install them.

Very easy DIY which I did myself. You just need to double check everything b/f u drill into the trunk lid.
