Factory spoiler install kit

I bought a used OE spoiler this weekend. I assume there should be a kit for installing it. With the foam seals, bolts, and template. I can't seem to find it online. Any ideas?

As others have commented, the TL decklid lines look pretty good as is. Even though I'm not a big fan of decklid spoilers, if you are going to add something to the trunk this will look better that the little "ramp" seen on some TLs. Just my $.02

I'd go with a type-S spoiler if I had a base model...Or just put the one you have!

OE = OEM?
If it's OEM, there should be an Acura logo underneath. I think the OEM one also should have the mount studs built on the spoiler?

I am still debating on what spoiler to get for mine. Wing is kinda ugly, lip is too small, and Type-S one is not cheap. So probably going none.

When I first got my TL back in Jan 2011 I told myself I was going to get a wing spoiler installed no matter what. Around that time, I noticed ALOT of people on azine had the lip spoiler installed, and no one sported the Wing Spoiler so that's what made me really want to get a wing spoiler. To be different.

But here I am, 10 months later still without anything on my trunk. I look at the wing spoiler now and think "wow, did I seriously want to install that wing spoiler that bad? It looks so ugly and out of place"

I guess it was just a 'in the moment' thing. I eventually grew out of it. That wing spoiler kills the luxury sedan look of the car IMO. I've been trying to get my hands on a type-s lip spoiler ever since. Looks much cleaner, subtle, and classy.

He doesnt state if their painted or not. Assuming you want one.. regardless, basing off your avatar you have an Anthracite Metallic, which is not a type-s color so you will have to get it painted either way. That is another $50-100 depending where you go

Not to thread jack, but in my opinion, the wing spoiler looks best when complemented by the A-spec kit.






I've since moved on to a different setup.





Hope this helps.

I agree. The wing doesn't look good just itself.

You'll need part #4 which is the hardware kit, and also the trunk springs. The R Side appears to be discontinued, but the left spring is still available. use code acurazine for 5% off your purchase
