Nice, but way too short for my likes. Also where are the mounting holes in accordance to teh oem holes? There isnt much room to fudge

its a very nice spoiler itself, but i think since its rounded and the TL is mainly a squarish car, it doesnt look at well together. but its unique and no other TL has it. =]

well i dont have the stock spoiler to compare mounting points but i totally agree about the shortness I'm hoping once its body colour it will match nicely... it has a few gouges and scratches so i'm gonna have to fix those up so i might try and extend the sides a lil with bondo..
The spoiler is an accord euro R spoiler (00 style accord), i bought it from a seller names jdmexporter6 on ebay for 99.99 so i think its decent for that price.... 150 after shipping

thanks for all the comments
do you have any idea how i can stretch it out?i was thinkin of cutting the ends off then using some kind of bolt/stud to join the ends so that there is a little space (i think i have about a half inch between the mounting point and the edge of the trunk) then fibreglass it back together... using the mesh so that its strong?
maybe a good custom body shop could do it
when i get time Im gonna sand it down fill the scratches and flash it with any red i find around the house then hold it up to the trunk again to see if it looks any better

does the wings west flush mount spoiler line up with the factory dimples......

I think it looks good from side angle shots, but from the back like everyone else said looks a bit short. When I come home I could photoshop it to match your color so we can all see how it will look. Either way, your gonna be the only one with that kind of spoiler with the sexy FPR

Otherwise looks good, just hope its fits easy

If this is true I am going to buy one tonight!!
I was disappointed when I bought my car and it didn't come with the spoiler, it was the third honda I have bought that didnt have an OEM spoiler so this is gonna make my day

no this means you can plug your oem holes and the wings west will cover them
