Exclamation Bought Ebay rear spoiler ... ALERT BEFORE GROUP PURCHASE!

Hey everyone. I purchased one of the ebay roof spoilers that a previous thread had. I noticed that everyone was trying to get them about an in longer or so. This will be too much. Mine has a total of maybe .2 of an inch gap. Also, and more obvious, they sent me the wrong color. Sent me silver instead of am.

*MOD EDIT*

Here are some pics for reference for everyone

Did you perfectly match the roof line? I'm sure you didn't put the silver one on your AM with the double sided tape and the glue. If it's any straigher, the gap will be smaller for sure.

Is this the Accord or TL-specific spoiler?
Also, what is the measurement, please?

Looks decent for the price paid for it.

I ordered the same one last weekend for $95, painted and shipped.

man that sucks....can u list who was the ebay vendor.....was it for Accord or TL.....what years !!! did you mention the color code or only the color of your car ???

44 1/4 will no where come close to the TL's roof line....the roof line is 44 3/4 and hence you see a .2" gap on each side....

sorry man.....and how much did u pay for this ?

Will the spoiler that your working on with "bmwoemshop" have any gaps, wheather they are on top (as seen on the pics posted) or on the bottom of the spoiler?

It's the exact same thing. The "M3" style lip spoiler. A friend of mine had one of these on his Accord and it looked exactly the same.
