So i know that many ppl have been wondering if this part fits, ive taken the plunge and it works.
Only problem, there is no instructions as this part comes factory installed and not sold as sn accessory. I was able to get this directly from my local dealership for about $120 with hardware
i started by taking painters tape and covering the underside, making an outline, marking major mounting points and then carefully cutting out the stencil i outlined. See attached photo. I removed it and just flipped it onto the trunk to follow the trunks curves.
the center pin mounting spot lines up to the Tip of the A emblem. Use your stencil to measure align everything perfect, then start drilling holes, yeah scary i know...
i didnt use all the mounting points, the center pin has a clasp on the underside, i also used two screw in mounting points, then the two most out pins (i didnt have clasps for these but once they were in the holes and i saw how flush it was, i just used 3m tape along the outer edges to secure in place.
Overall, it came out perfect and i think it completes my panda TLX.
Hope the pics and video upload okay. Let me know if you have questions.
looks good, I did the same except i didn't drill into the trunk. just 3m double sided taped it on and i got it color matched. just took off the clips and broke off the one in the middle.
I had a local body shop install a 2018 factory painted Modern Steel Metallic TLX Advance rear spoiler on my 2017 TLX Tech. The body shop ordered a 2018 trunk lid with the holes pre-drilled and make a template so hole could be drilled without guessing.

Was there hardware that came with the spoiler, or did you need to order it separately? If the latter, do you recall the P/N(s)? Also, am I understanding that you used only three mounting points?

How has the spoiler held up with just the tape holding it on? (There's not a lot if surface area on the spoiler.)
EDIT: So the OP hasn't been on here since December 2017, so.... But Flexin5?
Recently installed an 2018 aspec spoiler lip on my 2015 tech. Just left it factory painted to my match my 2018 aspec bumper. Super pleased!! Just follow 3M double side tape instruction and clean the surface with alcohol. Also I realized that the lip came with a foam padding trim stuck to it. The top side was not sticky so I removed it and cleaned the contact surface of the lip with alcohol. I wasn’t sure if I was to put 3M on top I felt it would have been doubled layered. My a friend said he’s fell off before but he used some cheap double side tape from China...

The spoiler comes with mounting hardware, I believe you drill and the clips under the lip fit into your drill marks. I got mine from acurapartswarehouse.
Thanks IL_TLX. That finished off the rear end of your cal nicely. I love the color of your car, too!
I bought a spoiler locally, and the clips do, indeed, come pre-installed to the spoiler. All that's missing is two bolts. Not wanting to risk drilling a half-dozen holes, I opted for just two for the screws, and used 3M VHB tape all the way 'round on mine. I love the look, especially with my smoked-chrome emblem.. (Now if I could just do the A-Spec bumper for only $110, too....)

will this fit my 2020 tech package ? I need a spoiler bad AF everyone keeps saying the aspec won’t fit mine
Happy to help. As for the diffuser, I think you're referring to IL_TLX's car. If so, that's a factory A-Spec bumper, and yes, you have to change the whole thing (and rework the exhaust for tips).
Hey guys. I just went to pick up the trunk clip from Acura and when I opened it it was black. I gave them my paint code when I ordered it. When I just called back they said it doesn’t come painted and only comes in black… Is this true or is the part number different for a paint matched factory lip?

My paint code is: NH797MX
I think it comes from the factory black. You’d have to get Acura or someone to paint it to your color code.
