Trunk lip

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acura-ILX-20...40712399756%26

This looks rather interesting, but will it fit on our 3G? hmm..

I'm not a fan of the base Lids or replica

AM a fan of the TL-S Lids but too costly and havn't found identical replica

itching to spend a little cash

Hmm, interesting. From the pics on the white ILX it doesn't look like it would fit, but at least the seller is out of NY with free shipping and not Hong Kong. So you could always buy it, test fit it without pulling the tape off, and if it doesn't look right, return it.

Type-S replica spoilers on eBay are cheap. They are usually priced between $80 and up depending on seller. Here is one example http://www.ebay.com/itm/04-08-JDM-Ac...6a2d3d&vxp=mtr

Search eBay, certain sellers sell them painted already.

Yes, some colors are harder to find than others. If after searching around you can't find a company that sells one in CBP, you may have to buy a plain one and have it painted. It's still way cheaper than buying an OEM Type-S spoiler.

I went a different route and got the M3 style lip spoiler and I also have a roof spoiler as well. Both were from different sellers and paint match came out great. WDP is one of the hardest colors to match too, but they did a pretty good job IMO.

Some of the pre-painted ebay stuff is not always color matched correctly.

or base model lip which is a smaller piece and not as contoured to the trunk lines.

Go on eBay, search member kyonick

They ship from Taiwan for 80$ painted and ready to go any OEM color. He didn't list DGP in his auction but when I sent him a message he was happy to do it. No extra charge either IIRC. I'm sure they can to carbon bronze too. I was always very happy with mine. It was a roof spoiler but they're roughly the same size...should fit trunklid too

I can check since I'm removing mine in the next couple fays
