It's on THIS SITE (about 2/3 down the page) for $26.80 plus shipping. Others have done it with Vice grips, but I am VERY glad I had one to use.

 

THX! okay, the trunk spring just came today w/ NO instructions. And i had no clue how this thing work. Anyone with the DIY?

 

Here's instruction on 2000 ACCORD (pretty much same)

If you want you can get the tool from this site also for $19.60

Good luck

 

How much are you guys getting the trunk springs for? I don't wanna get ripped off by my dealer so I wanna have a gauge of the price.

 

Just curious...Are you sure you can buy just the springs? I don't recall anyone mentioning they bought just the springs. The new springs came with my OEM spoiler. You do know there's a stiffer setting on the stock springs, right?

 

Yes you can purchase just the springs from Acura. I installed an aftermarket OE style spoiler that did not come with new springs. Had to basically go to dealer to get the springs, and take it to a collision shop to install them for $20 (didn't have the tool to do this myself).

 

THANK YOU SIR! I will give it a shot tomorrow afternoon! just hope that after the install, i'll remain w/ the same among of fingers i started w/

 

It was a bit tough holding the damn spoiler up and doing the spring. Good thing I had an extra set of hands.
