What is the "m3 rear spoiler"

Guys I'm still picking up the lingo on this forum so forgive my ignorance. Am I understanding correctly that many are using an M3 lip from BMW instead of an OEM rear spolier? After checking at the dealer for a rear spoiler they want $400.00 bucks. So, I take it the option is a spoiler from an M3...what year model from an M3 fits an 09 TSX?

No, the style is called a lip spoiler.
most commonly found on an M3.


If you search ebay, just type in "09 TSX lip spoiler"

i found some ranging from $49.99 to $100.00.
I have no clue of the sellers reputations or if the spoilers will fit or not.

Maybe, more members will chime in with sellers that they bought before.

Well its called that cuz that design first showed up on the M3 & on Ebay I believe they come in different lengths too? Most are unpainted and just require double sided tape, hope this helps OP

i have the m3 lip spoiler on mine. i believe there's only 2 of us on this forum that has it on. CU2mike is the other one

i got mine for $25 shipped from ebay unpainted. mine is shorter so i just centered it. CU2mike has the correct length and has no gaps

I just put "lip spoiler acura tsx" on ebay and this thing came out it was from Taiwan if I still remember correctly came already painted with double side tape
spoiler itself is bit short but I center it and it looks quite good
