Need Roof Spoiler Fast, My TL is going to the Body Shop

All;

MY TL type S is going to the body shop next week to repair the damaged bumper my wife caused backing into my neighbors car. Does anyone know where I can get a roof spoiler for it? I can have the body shop paint it and install it if I can get one next week. I only saw 1 on ebay for $250 which I cannot spend on such a mod. Please advise.

Sarona is the way to go but if your budgets under 250 it aint gonna fly.

The Civic is a much smaller car than the TL, how will this fit?

just find one you like on ebay and tell the seller you need it to be 45", that is what I did and I think I ended paying like $20 or so shipped, can't remember exactly but it was cheap. I test fitted it to my TL and it is perfect. Search lip spoiler an ebay...you will find a TON! It does not matter what car it says it is for as long as you get the right size. I don't have it on my car yet...still waiting for paint to get here.

You would need to get a trunk spoiler for an 1997-2002 bmw m5.

Jwong, you are right. There is about a 1/4 of an inch on each side that is open. This is not a 45" spoiler. It still is OK and looks fine though.

^ does not matter which one you get it needs to be 45" and it will fit, the style does not matter, just search ebay and find one you like.

^ yeah I noticed that...I just sent a message to the seller telling them I needed a 45" and they got right back to me. Odd that they are not getting back to you, you'd think they want to sell these...
