How much & where did you order them?

Are you installing them yourself? I heard that you need a "special" tool to install them.

i got them at an acura dealer for $48. if you don't put the torsion bars on the trunk lid won't stay open with the added weight from the spoiler.

Make sure to get torsion bar tool from the dealer. It's about $5 and makes it so easier.

I heard the tool for the torsion springs cost as much as the torsion springs themselves. Is this true?

Local dealers want $45 for the tool. I bought it online for $30 & installed the springs. Look here:

It used to be around $5 when I got it.

You still can be able to get it for $14.95 here.

Confused on installation for spoiler

From the instructions on https://hondacura world.hostasaurus.com/Merchant2/instructions/tl/RearWingSpoiler.pdf (no space between hondacura and world), it says to also use a template, cap nuts and rear protectors for the installation. I bought my '00 TL spoiler painted from www.spoilerdepot.com . The instructions call for using the "set screw method" and I think the instructions provided by the link above seems to be easier. The problem is that I do not have a template, cap nuts or the rear protectors because they were not included with the oem replica spoiler. Instead I had 4 set screws, 4 phillips screws, gasket material, 4 washers, and 4 lock washers, along with the spoiler and the wiring harness coming out of it. There are also two red plastic things that have "3M" engraved on it and I think it has something to do with the wiring harness. The instructions were also not very clear as it did not even give directions on how to connect the wiring harness for the LED brake light. For now, the spoiler is sitting in my garage until I find out what I really need to do (which instructions to follow) to get the spoiler mounted. It would be great if someone replies with the experience of installing a replica TL spoiler with the parts that came from www.spoilerdepot.com Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
