Yeah, A lot of TL owners have roof spoilers. I'm not sure if the civic si ones are the same size.

They are not the same, the first link takes the shape of the roo, curling down somewhat. A member has it ill post a pic.

And the Second Flares Up slightly. I was going to order from shadow on the weekend. Thank god i didnt. id rather spend the money on one that fits then having to cut one up.

Can we get pics of the one that was cut?

e60 will not fit our cars. i bought a fiberglass one and its short about 1 inch on both sides and its too curved and raised up 1" in the middle. i couldnt flex it downto the window without it cracking or breaking in half. its impossible to even try to epoxy it down to the window.

CU2MIKE has a e60 version in carbon fiber but i think it worked because you can flex the carbon fiber in the middle which will then make up the gaps on both sides. honestly i think he just got lucky and was able to test fit without having to buy it.

i have an 08 civic si spoiler on mine and wrapped it in cf vinyl

its short about 1/4 inch on both sides though

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Painted-Hond...-/300587541378

i messaged this vendor, and said the following:

"hello sir

we have this color no problem but sorry this roof spoiler won't fit for your Acura TSX 2012 since the upper corners of your back window is rounded .

regards"


http://www.ebay.com/itm/280809161101...S:1123&vxp=mtr

i emailed this seller as well, but forgot to tell them i have a 2012. they do have my color though. I sent them another message about the year.

my question is... is there a difference between 09-11, then 12 in terms of the back of the vehicle for this not to fit properly?

Also, any possibility someone could photoshop my car with the rear wing spoiler so i can see what it would look like to see if i really merit purchasing this at some point.

^^The back window from the 09-11 is the same as 12+ but I wanna see a pic of it on a CU2 cuz I dont that the back window is the same as an accord to my knowledge.

I know that if the fit on the sides isint near perfect, its gonna drive me insane lol

Defcons car is sooo nice! Your spoiler isnt too bad, i could live with that, even though i would like it to be an exact fit.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acura-TSX-20...item53e015cd6e

that one seems to be an exact fit though.

i got mine in 09 when there weren't any spoilers available for the CU2.

i would expect there should be better fitted roof spoilers after 3 years

Response from Shadow.Speed on Ebay

"Hello,
We can't make sure this spoiler can fit on ACURA TSX 2012.
But please don't worry, we can serve our customer the length of customized design.
You can measure the length of top of rear windows to give us, then we can make one for you.
Please takes the below pictures for reference to measure :
1. http://www.superupup.com/karta034/Li...cription-1.jpg
2. http://www.superupup.com/karta034/Li...cription-2.jpg
The width of this item is about 44mm (BRS type), please use 44mm for measurement.
Please used millimeter (mm) to measure the length, it more exact than inch.
And please double-check the length is correct, then the spoiler will fit perfectly.
If you have any question please feel free to contact us via eBay message.
Hope we have the chance to serve you.
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
shadow.speed."

Can someone tell me what the exact measurements (links provided dont work, so i am not quite sure how to measure, plus i dont trust myself) would be so that i could send this to the seller? I really like his spoiler style the best out of all that i have seen. I appreciate everyone's help, and hopefully this will help other people as well.

Even though I went ahead and ordered a civic si one, it was $35 shipping included lol, let's just see how it fits once I get it.

I hope shadow speed makes a good looking exact fit! Hehe

Well, I got my ABS Civic si rep in the mail today, test fitted, and like defcon said it's a definite miss. So sad haha it doesnt line up with the lines of the window! it's does look really good, if the gaps don't bother you but I'm pretty sure it would. Haha we really need to get these measurements going!

I wish that asshole would give some discount, 180 is nuts for a primed roof spoiler.

not trying to offend you, but are you possible trying to put the roof spoiler on the trunk and the trunk lip on the roof? you have both, and i would be dumb enough to fuck up like that. if you are putting them correctly, have you tried the taping method while you let the adhesive cure? the method pictured here https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...t=roof+spoiler
