I did compare the two, and they look about the same. My concern is width and if they are identical in that aspect. If I can save $25 over a marketing scheme, then I'm on it! This spoiler is cheap enough that I can buy it and try it out and not feel so bad about it if I don't like it. But I don't want to start out on the wrong foot with a spoiler that has an even smaller width then the "TL model". I sent a message to the seller asking if he knew the width of the Accord couple window spoiler, and I'm waiting for a response back.

what i was thinking is if 10+ people are interested, I can talk to the guy on ebay and get a coupon code....this wont be a group buy since the mods will boot my ass out.....but yeah if we can get 10+ people I will talk and even if we get like 10 bucks off the honda spoiler (provided its the same) then looking at $60 for a painted spoiler![Too Cool](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/toocool.gif)

Unfortunately, the battery for my DSLR was dead so I had to use a point & shoot and I was losing light. It came out so blurry and it's too dark outside to take a bigger pic now.
BTW, you guys are quite needy![Tongue](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

"hello sir
sorry we only give our dimension to customers when they've placed their order. If a minor adjustment of dimension needed.
regards
Alisa BMWOEMSHOP
-bmwoemshop"
Grammer errors are verbatim. So, after I order the product, then I can call for the exact dimension of the product to ensure the correct fit? Um, yeah. Thanks lady.
So, how do I interpret this response? They are all the same spoiler. Period.
The fitment issue shown in the pictures above doesn't bother me. It's close enough. Their paint job looks pretty decent as well for the price. So, I'm not sure if I'm going to attempt to save $25 and risk having to deal with a product that just isn't going to look right in case there is a noted difference, or if I'm just going to buy the one that Takoyaki purchased and just shell out the $95. Either way, I'm going to sleep on it tonight just to make sure this is something I want to do.

^^^ Thanks for the input. I was a little put off by her general response to me, since I asked a simple question which I thought entitled me to a productive answer. I just wasn't please with it.
Anyways, let's see what swoosh can do for the rest of us debating on this purchase.

Not a fan... I know its good for the money.. but I feel like the Sarona and ATLP are a much nicer mold and fit. This looks more like a trunk lid spoiler that was stuck onto the reear window. I had a ebay roof spoiler, back then they called it the JDM spoiler, same gap on each side.. whcih wasn't that big of a deal at all but I got the ATLP one now and though it has its own fitment issues... the design and shape of it just suits the lines of the car better.

Guys, there seems to be a lot of back and forth here. Look, you can't make a list for a discount or a coupon on Acurazine for a company that is not a sponsor on the site.
Here is a picture up close of my JDM spoiler-it's the same type as on EBAY that sold for $50. I actually bought mine from a fellow Acuraziner and had it painted by a friend who owns a body shop.
![](http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii123/steventbell/100_3638.jpg)
I think the bottom line here is that you can go inexpensive and live with the small gap (as shown above) or go more expensive with the Sarona or ATLP (as Elegant has pointed out) an not have the gap.

Wow i was so close to pulling the trigger on this spoiler. Thanks for posting up pics Takoyaki. btw what wheels are those? How do you think the spoiler will look with the wing?

I think this is a great choice for more affordable roof spoiler to who doesn't wanna spend $300 + paint for that piece.

It's definitely tempting because of the price difference...it looks pretty good, but doesn't it kinda look like someone took a lip spoiler and put it on the roof? I don't know...I'd like to see a pic of this one, the sarona and the other one mentioned side by side to decide.
It def. doesn't look bad so this is not a knock on it.
