new tsx-se deck lip spoiler and sbm or not?

Hi,
I'm going to pick up my first ever Acura, a Bellanova white TSX special edition. I fell in love with this car after test driving, Buicks, Toyotas, Hondas. I've order the deck lid spoiler and side body moldings. I hope I did the right thing, I want the car to look classy/classic/not too busy looking. Can anyone offer any advice on if they have a 2009 or newer TSX with Side Body Molding and /or deck lid spoiler? I would appreciate it. Thank you.

The side body molding (even though I don't think it's really functional because it's too low), really does make the car look beefier and better. It's easy to install. You get a template to tape to the car, and then pull the tape backing off the back of the molding and pull off as you press along the molding.

I'd do a deck lid spoiler too as long as there isn't any drilling. I may check into that for a late holiday present.

But get the side molding and splash guards.

the lip spoiler is very classy, if you are younger and intend to get tints, you may want to have black accents, so you could use a black lip spoiler. they usually drill them, but i suggest just using adhesive such as 3M tape. its better cause drilling the trunk is no bueno

side body modlings are not for me, but lip spoiler is good!

I prefer spoiler-less also, but again, you can't go wrong with the sideskirts:

That's a beautiful picture of your car, looks like the one I'm getting in 10 days, the wheels look great. I've sign the paperwork for the deck lid and SBM, I don't know what to do. Maybe I should ask them to hold off to future date to install the lid and SBM. Does anyone out there have the Bellanova White SE with either the deck lid spoiler or SBM or both and can post a side view picture. The dealership is going to drill two holes to hold the lid.

You could ask the dealer to install the deck lid without drilling, or ask to install it yourself if they refuse. I know that other members have installed it without drilling, and if you go this route at least you'll have the option to go without the lid in the future.
