Will trunk and rear spoiler on 2011 fit on 2012 model?

hi all,
I was wondering if the trunk and rear spoiler of 2011 model fit on 2012 model? I know the front and rear bumper won't fit and my guess is the trunk won't fit either but just want to confirm..
Thanks for the help..

yes, it should fit as it shares the same part no for the 2009-2013 models, the only difference is in paint which the last letter of the part no dictates:

It is:
71700-TK4-A01Z

it should be 71700-TK4-A01ZD for the Crystal Black pearl

The trunk is the same, but the base model spoilers do not have a hole for the rear camera.

yes, that part no above was for the tech models, for the base:

here's the spoilers for the base model:

Thanks for the confirmation guys.
I have the base SH-awd and love the look of the tech spoiler. The base spoiler just doesn't appeal to me..

You could buy the tech model spoiler and plug the camera hole? Even easier to get away with having a black car!

I'm trying to buy the tech model but it's hard to find. I've contacted a few vendors such as CarID, EliteSpoiler.. and they all were trying to sell me the base model spoiler. It looks FUGLY..

dealer or auto-recycler is your best bet. You can probably just buy the whole trunk lid and sell your old one so you don't have to worry about the holes from the old spoiler.

$134.36 + shipping from my local dealer : OEM Acura Automotive Parts & Accessories - Bernardi Parts

Just paste 71700-TK4-A01ZD into the "PART #" box in the top right and you will find it.

I can vouch for these guys, I've ordered parts from them without any problem.

Thanks for the idea about pasting the part number. I found it only $130.63 which is $4 cheaper at Acurapartsforless.
I'm ordering it and will post the picture after the installation.
