Deck Lid Spoiler - 2008 Acura TSX

Hi guys,

I'm looking to get a deck lid spoiler such as below. I ordered for my TL few years ago from TheSpoilerStore on ebay and I see that they don't have this type of deck lid spoiler for TSX. Can someone please advise where to order pre-painted
one with good quality.

I deleted your thread in the New Member Introductions Forum since you aren't a new member anymore and you posted the same thing here.

yes, there are quite few but I'm not sure which one has a quality product. I was reading through forums and some people mentioned buying from vendor "xenonspecialist" However, I can't seem to find that vendor on ebay.

what makes a piece of plastic different than others?
most likely they are all coming from the same factory...and then getting painted else where.
but even then, having them paint it is ALWAYS a gamble.

so, there is NO difference in which seller sells it.
buy it from a seller on ebay.
Do not over think this....

As said above, paint is the main gamble. I recently bought a lip spoiler and here are my recommendations.
Before install, I would actually remove the double sided tape they come with and replace it with a heavy duty one from 3M. I've had spoilers and visors on previous cars that had cheap double sided tape from the companies and they would not stick after a season or two. I'm lucky enough to catch them in time before they flew off.
Another thing I would do is to wax the spoiler after install. It will help the paint last.

^but it doesnt matter. lol buy one.
he could list the seller and it would be the same as another seller.

lol

we're talking about a strip of plastic here....NOT a structural piece or a mechanical piece...
just a strip of plastic for aesthetic reasons...
there is no reason to over think this.
