Mugen lip (or replica)

That's all I can think of besides OEM.

Looks wise no. Sorry man. The TLs are classy, not some vehicle that gets that kind of spoiler and a fart can(they usually go together for people)

Exterior should stay as OEM as possible minus rims. Thre rest should be left to a Cold Air Intake, Headers, and a mellow exhaust. One thing I will say is no one will EVER steal a thing like that off your car. If you dont like OEM, get the M3/M5 style lip. Best of all, unpainted is 25 bux on ebay. That spoiler you posted is one thing and only one thing... RICE. You are driving a once $33k luxury car that was purchased buy single middle class males or mid/upper middle-class families when they were new. Keep the care what it is. A luxury sedan. If you wanted to RICE out a ride, you should have used the platform most ricers used Civic.




Adding small exterior updates will keep the car looking newer that 00. Changing the brake lights to the 02-03's u see here ADDS to that as well. Sometimes less is MORE.

Just remember. You HAVE the oem spoiler. If you take it off you will have 5 holes in your trunk that NO aftermarket spoiler will cover.

And to add with the others, please dont rice out your car with that type of spoiler.

just spend a little time browsing the forums.
this car has been out for 20 million years already.
I'm sure; if you look around you'll see something you like that some one has done before...

The Wing West wing looks good and will cover all 5 holes

Yea, i thought about saying that, I guess i should have been more clear and said the ones he is looking at. If he doesnt like the looks of the stock and is looking at what he is there is no way he will like the WW

Good info, thanks Es617 for the input......but in some cases something similar is clearly not what the OP is desiring. A very excellent choice, IMO....but then again, I'm basically an old school traditionalist at heart. I don't like "RICE".

Bondo maybe? But for real why would you want anything besides oem? I was happier than a pig in shit when I found my oem spoiler a couple weeks ago, but to each his own I guess.

Do not buy any no-name Chinese "performance" junk from Ebay. No-name headers, exhausts, and mechanical parts made in China are cheap for a reason- reason being they all have shitty quality.

Save your money and buy 1 good brand-name performance part instead of buying 10 junky ones.

To answer the ops question. Yes it will fit/work. It's a UNIVERSAL spoiler, meaning it will fit any car in the UNIVERSE. Ok, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but you get it. Now my opinion: buy a civic, or hell even an RSX could pull that off. Not a TL. BUT, if you do decide to buy this. I would advise you not to post pictures on here. Not because I don't want to see it (I'd love to have a laugh) but because your ass will get ripped into shreds. So do whatever you want, just know, people will point and laugh.

Get a '99>'03 TL trunk lid without the factory wing and call it a winner !

"Just go wingless" !!!!!

don't buy cheap chinese headers. you will spend more money in the long run taking them out again and again because of leaks. save up the money for DC headers, install once and be done with it.
