Hey man, can you please show me what is already out there specifically for the TL (excluding the base style spoiler and the wing spoiler)?? Because I have yet to find something besides base style deck lid spoilers unless I spend over $600 for the type-s spoiler. And yea i know about the CSL spoiler but it's way too much money.

The point I'm getting at is there are many aftermarket companies that replicate the base spoiler and the wing spoiler and sell them for good prices. For what they are, they seem to be pretty good products for the money. But the base spoiler just isn't that exciting for me...now something like the TL-S spoiler or a more aggressive spoiler that MrHeeltoe is trying to capture (hopefully) is what we all would like to see and is not like what is already out there.

lol I forgot about this thread.

Since the OP, we have gone into production and sold a few of these wings for TSX.

As it turns out, the opinions were really split in the other community as well. But funny thing, the pics were really working against the wing. Because while some folks could read the lines and details of the wing, others could not and took it at face value. The opinion on this wing has really shifted and people seem to like it a lot.

In production version I like it more than preproduction as well.

In short....

phone cam + primered part = not good pics of a product.

We have a carbon one being laid up now so we will post pics when it's done.

I knew people would like it! Sometimes pictures just don't do things justice. So when is the prototype/preproduction unit coming out for the TL?! :wink:

We have sold a few TSX ones yes. The wing really looks good on there. The carbon one came out great.


On a front lip, we are working on the 'club for a TSX front lip on the 04-05. Next will be the 06-08, then I am certain we will be onto the TL!
