OK, called the local BMW dealer and I can get an M3 lip spoiler for $129. A good body shop in the area said it might take 3 hours to paint it WDP, which might cost $150. So, for ~$280, what do you guys think? The BMW dealer said they put an M3 spoiler on an Accord, and it looked great.
Oh, and those of you that don't think it would look good, keep your opinions to yourselves. :thefinger

 

Just put the M5 spoiler on mine. About the same price for the spoiler, but my local shop painted it for $60. Looks incredible. How is the M3 spoiler different from the M5?

 

Got pics?

 

Good question... I'm not sure how the M3 spoiler is different then the M5. I'm thinking th M5 would be a little bigger, so it would probably look better on the TL. FYI, my M5 spoiler was $115 with shipping from CA to NY. Paint was around $100 for the spoiler....

 

It looks like the M5 spoiler is wider than the trunk- how is it installed? When the trunk opens up, does the overlap come up with the trunk, or is the spoiler cut into three pieces and the overlap bolted down separately?

Does that question make any sense at all?

 

Sure, it makes sense...

I think you need to look at the pics again of the spoiler... the M5 spoiler is actually smaller then the trunk... about 3/8" on each side. That's why I mentioned that it would look better then the M3 spoiler b/c I believe that's even smaller and wouldn't look right. Check out the pics in this link... you can see how the spoiler is just a tick smaller then the trunk.....

Thanks everybody the 03 type s is getting tinted on Monday and the M5 spoiler is ordered - just gotta find a body shop to install and paint- Should i order Acura paint or is that not an option and is it closely matched through the body shop

Thanks for the info. gents you made this easy for me

Uphold the Acura TypeS

 

All I did was give my body shop the paint code and they did the rest....

 

How to they attach? I know that is probably a stupid question, but do you have to drill holes in the trunk?

 

Double-sides 3M tape, from the BMW dealer.

Dang, $60 would be nice. Wonder if it really is that hard to match WDP.
So, the M3 might fit the trunk, but the M5 would overlap it, requiring both ends to be cut, but fit the whole back edge. Wonder which would look better...

 

do you guys think the M5 spoiler would fit okay on a 2002 AV6 sedan?
