My brand new TL-S rear trunk spoiler is on its way and I got a crazy deal - $200 bux shipped.

The distributor told me it needs 7 bolts drilled thru the trunk to be installed - anyone do this themselves? I'm considering taking this to a local bodyshop - it should be something they can do fairly quickly.

Thanks!

 

You can
(a) Use 3M automotive tape, it's strong as all hell.
(B) Make a drill template using cardboard, drill, install

 

were did you get that deal.
3m works find for some people

 

i think im going to get it installed by the body shop since i dont want anyone jacking my spoiler

 

I just got my decklid spoiler over the weekend as a b-day present from my brother, I took it to a local body shop paid $30 to install it came painted with double sided tape, and 2 holes, one on each end so its bolted on there to make sure no one steals it.

 

DIY install is fairly simple. I picked up on a good trick from Maxima.org about how someone used play-doh as a guide to where it needs to be drilled. He tried to eyeball it as to where he thought the holes needed to be, then put a generous serving of play-doh at the spot, then put the spoiler where it should go on the deck lid. He then lifted up the spoiler and could see the exact spot for drilling. I think there is a DIY guide over on that site.
Of course, if you're nervous to drill you deck lid, the body shop install is also a good route!

 

I can do a couple of things my own, but i'll neer drilled the body of my car, I'll let a pro do it. I can do the electronics and CAI, put Headlights back again, but doing body work, HELL NO.

Leave it to a pro

200 bux shipped!!!????

where can i get one for 200!??

 

thanks for the input. hopefully it wont cost more then $50

 

quick question on this install...the dealership from here in london told me that the mounting of this spoiler is the same as the aspec spoiler...in other words...you would not have any exposed bolt holes from the larger spoiler to the smaller...my thoughts are that there would be exposed holes left from the aspec...can anyone shed some light on this?

 

To drill the holes you gonna need the template if not you have to be rellay good eye to drill with out it is gonna be a PITA i did mine awhile ago and came out prytty good after someone stoll the first one...But still good price can u post a link or some where did you get this from thx....

its a type s spoiler buddy - ill post where i got it from but i need to check with the person to make sure its cool with them if i give out their contact info. also i want to get mine in first before i recommend someone.

 

If your getting it brand new it should come with a template. I know mine did...

 

Sooooo a seller is concerned about their business growing?

Lawdy, this is starting to get interesting.

 

here you go dipshit: mikeman81@rogers.com

this is the best deal for a type s spoiler - 200 shipped from canada. as stated above i havent received mine thats why i didnt want to post the persons email address until i got mine and it checked out. he has an ebaystore thats how i found him and can get other acura parts too but the tl-s spoiler seemed like the best deal he was offering.

 

So this is a replica?

 

Must be a replica. I have been monitoring Ebay for months & never saw a OEM TLS for $200.

 

Well, apparently OP found a diamond in the rough...?

 

its not a replica its the real deal. and yes i did find a diamond in the rough. 200 shipped from canada is as best as it gets. you can thank me later.

 

Is that in CAN $ ?

 

its US $..

price beats out any acura parts vendor and az.com vendor on this site.

 

OP, you have yet to answer the question if this is a replica or not.

I'm not trying to be a, what was it...oh yeah, 'dipshit' as you so maturely stated, but I am trying to ascertain if this a real-deal Type-S or simply an overpriced replica.

 

I think I found it

dude scroll up i wrote that its not a replica - it's an OEM TL-S trunk spoiler. contact the guy's email and get these questions answered directly if you want.

 

lol!

 

I did mine myself, but if I would have known it was only about $30, I definately would have a bodyshop do it.
I drilled mine, I think the 3m proved unreliable in the long run on several members cars.

 

Where can I find the template? and how do you know what size the holes have to be?

 

Bump for pics.
