Type S trunk spoiler replica?

I've searched and searched for anyone that makes it... Found nothing, unless someone knows someone that CAN make it if we get interest. I just can't justify $500 for a OEM lip spoiler... (http://www.acuraoempartsdepot.com/pa...layCatalogid=0)

^ I don't like any other spoiler on the TL other than the Type S deck lip and the V2 roof spoiler.. I've seen the combination before but what my plans are the way I like it so.

PS - Did you convert your front/rear bumper to Type S?

Yup. When they realized it wasn't a replacement part anymore, but people were using them as an accessory. Crazy on the mark up. They had to make it that high because the A-spec one is around $300 and its smaller. Luckily my dealer sells them at $259 shipped as an accessory.

^ Are you sure its a type s one? The type s attaches with studs and double sided tape.I don't think there is currently and replica type s trunk lip.

^ Correct the one he bought must have been a base spoiler as there is a vendor who sells them for that price.

Bryce what you have is a replica of the oem BASE spoiler.

And yes the base spoiler "kind of" looks like the type-s one to the un trained eye, but anyone with a type-s or is really familiar with it can easily tell it's not a type-s lip.

The type-s is more bold and pronounced looking. It looks more aggressive whereas the oem BASE / replica both look smaller and less aggressive.

Something tells me you bought that from eBay thinking it's a replica of the Type-s lip when it's not. There's also other replicas of base model lips that can be had for less than $110 shipped painted.

If the eBay seller stated it's a type-s lip in the ad than he's definitely lying.

You don't have to drill holes if you don't want to, but than again it's all preference. Drilling it will make it more secure so thieves can't rip it off. That spoiler is anywhere from $300-$500 new / used. Some people would rather have that tightened down securely if they spent that much money on it.

However I got my type-s spoiler for $75 and have it mounted by only 3m tape. Lots of 3m tape. I didn't want to drill holes in my trunk either

Everyone on here recommends the ebay one from thespoilerstore. I just purchased one the other day and am waiting on it. You cant beat the price and from what everyone says they are the best place to get the TL replica spoiler. Looks like they took all their listings down for Christmas though.

^Its still different. They market it as a type s style and use a generic photo of a type s rear end in the ad, but its still going to be different.

If I ever get my hands on a Type-S spoiler for a steal (ideally less than $200), I would be willing to lend it to a shop and get a mold of it done and tell them to become a vendor on here (and also ebay) to sell because I know the demand would be high.
