Need some advice on a spoiler

Alright here's the deal. I have been wanting to get a trunk spoiler for my TL for the longest time and was going to order one from spoiler depot. Now, I saw on another forum that a guy happened to be selling his Spoiler and stated that it was Pearl White.

The only reason I was goign to buy it used instead of spoiler depot, brand new, is cuz he says its an OEM Genuine Acura Factory Spoiler. Now my car is leased and I figured when and if I do turn the car back in, I wont have to worry about Acura *****ing and charging me with fees. Gives me peace of mind to know that its the Acura part. I've requested for him to give me more close up pics and let me know if there are any scratches or ne thign like that. He says that all the mounting hardware is included. I asked him about the torsion springs and haven't gotten a reply back yet.

My concern now is, he didnt specify which year TL he took this off of, and assuming that he took it off the 99TL and me having an 03, will the paint look different now since the spoiler is about 4 years old and my car is less than a year old? Will it have a mismatch problem cuz Im concerned about that. Basically is 4 years a long time for it to fade? Also, he's sellign the trunk lid if I wanted, but Im not going to buy that, but Im assuming if its a acura spoiler, then the trunk lid should have the torsion springs on it which I should get since, its part of the spoiler right?? Is there anything else I should be aware of or asking him?? Let me know guys.

'99 white was called Tafetta White while the '02+ white was called White Diamond Pearl. There is a difference.
