Anthracite Wing Spoiler darker than car

The TSX wing spoiler says "TSX" underneath the wing. Does the TL say "TL" underneath its wing spoiler?

Mine doesn't and I'm wondering if I got ripped off because the spoiler I have is silghtly different in colour/color than the car.

Btw, the car's anthracite and the spoiler is noticeably darker than the rest of the car. I am trying to get it replaced. What do you guys think? I'm thinking they gotta replace the darn thing. They can't just repaint the part and put it back on because it's a brand new car.


Thanks.

The Acura OEM spoiler should have the Acura symbol under the center of the wing. I will post picture after work.

For 500 I would fight for one that is the right color.

Spoiler...

Factory TL wing spoiler has the Acura logo on the bottom edge, clearly visible.

My TL is Anthracite, I installed the wing myself, after I bought the car, and the paint color matches perfectly.

Yes, don't expect it to match perfectly. I have an anthracite also with the a-spec kit. every part of the kit is slightly off in color. Including my lip spoiler.

Thanks for sharing everyone! Hmmm...there is an Acura symbol underneath the spoiler.

Anyhow, I drove about an hour to the dealership and showed the guy who sold it to me the difference in color. He agreed to order another one for me.

I was pretty happy I didn't have to say much.

If the new spoiler is still a bit off, then I'll have to accept the "closest matching color" of the 2. No point in fighting further since it's the luck of the draw...right?
