Hey Rockstar143,
By any chance since you have a wing spoiler, is it OEM, if so can you tell me if underneath there is the Acura Emblem engraved into it? Too many pages to sort through to see if it is.
I found a NEW wing spoiler in my color online for $120. Seller states its "OEM" and all hardware is there in the photos so just curious since I never knew if the actual OEM part has that engraved emblem underneath.
Thank man.

Typically Honda spoilers have the emblem embossed in the underside of the spoiler.

thank you Aman...very much! Actually...the blue stem was what started it all. It's a little darker than the lugs...I hated the black on black on black...no contrast...but when I put the blue on it, it was visually appealing to me. It was hard to add accents without going overboard and ending up on one of those "ismycarrice" websites.
Thank you...I'm happy with it and I'm glad to know you think it's nice too!Gracias! Gonna repost it here...I don't think I posted it yet.
The bluer the better...that just means it's gonna be a BIGGER LOAD LATER!

Thanks man. Will make the purchase now, just needed more feedback before making the purchase. Your like the 4th person to say that so I think this will suffice and ease my concerns about purchasing a part for my TL thats OEM only.

Matt...don't feel badly, IIRC he traded the entire trunk lid with spoiler with someone that wanted it.

You guys have good taste in fruits
J, do you have to take particular care of the lugs when swapping wheels? Or is it all right?

FK YES I have to take particular care, brother!
First time I mounted them...I did it by hand. Sure, I thought...it'll be fine, I thought. I used a 1/2" 2 foot long breaker bar to put them on...even offering very little resistance, my extended lugs on the front were too long. I torqued them down...when I went to remove them...next time...3 of them were TOTALLY stripped and stuck on the studs.
FK ME...I wanted to cry. Ended up paying Tire Kingdom to slowly and carefully drill them out to the tune of $100 (cost 200, but they messed up my sideskirt and took a hundred off, was able to fix myself).
I wanted to abandon the idea, but decided to rethink it. Got shorter extended studs... and bought one of those hand crank ratchets that don't allow you to put much torque and I torque to 80 ft/lb EXACTLY. Have had NO problems since.
I just couldn't bare getting rid of them...I love how chunky they are and the blue they are on the wheels.
Steven, thank you!

LOL, thanks!
Actually, I was looking more closely at them...if the tips were ANY bigger, they'd NOT sit up in the aspec/bumper groove like they do. I love em (until Richie makes a dedicated base tip)
Chip, thanks buddy...
New RV6 Vid I made this morning from inside the car
