2010 TL rear window spoiler
Ordered the rear window spoiler from eBay and it arrived quicker than I expected
, the correct color,
.......
......but it is 1/2" too short.
Checked my order and I had the right car when I ordered it.
Hopefully they will do something for me without having to spend $30+ to send it back.

Here is a pic. Heard back from the vendor that they will give me $20 off the cost of this one to keep it. Or, I could send it back and run the risk and get my money back, or if I want another one, exchange it and hope the right one gets sent.

The problem with sending it back is that I would have had to send it back at my expense ($30-$40) and they would have exchanged it, but there is no guarentee that what they would have sent would have been correct the second time (comes from Taiwan).

My guess is it is for a dif year TL (3G maybe, color is a match, possibly a TSX?) and if it bugs me too much, I will just take it off and maybe somebody on the Zine can use it, but for now it is installed.

I would pay more for one from somebody who sells them in the US next time.

I'm wondering if your box sat in the heat somewhere when in transit.
My spoiler just fell off this past Friday due to extreme heat (I live in Las Vegas). I took the spoiler off the car, removed all the existing tape and left it in the garage with the intention of prepping it to reapply this weekend.
I reapplied 3M automotive tape, went to put in on tonight, and the thing shrunk about 1/2 inch after sitting in my garage for two days! My spoiler was flush on both sides after the original install and I now have a 1/4 inch gap on each side, and a nice ripple effect on the top of the spoiler itself.
I wouldn't have guessed the heat would have contracted it that much (if at all).

My guess is the one they sent to me is for a different model Acura.
I did joke with my son to go online and see if he could find a "spoiler stretcher"

He thought about it for a second then decided I wasn't serious.

The OP very likely received the wrong spoiler that was designed for a different car.
