hi everyone, i am new here. i have a 11' CBP TL SH-AWD. i will finish my profile soon but have question thats driving me nuts....does anyone know where i can find a template for the rear decklid spoiler on a 4th gen? i have a painted one but acurapartswarehouse.com never sent me the template with it. the dealership does not want to install it and claims the only way they can get a template is if i order the spoiler from them (almost $500) and acurapartswarehouse says they do not send them out with templates, and they shouldn't have to especially if the dealer is installing there product. after much research and a few phone calls to client relations i am out of luck. any help is greatly appreciated thanks.

 

acura client relations came thru! they are mailing me the template.

 

make sure you upload the template or snap a pic for other members here to view when you get it.

 

I got the tech spoiler for my base model and there is no template for the tech spoiler, only the base spoiler so some custom work has to be done, i believe only two outside holes line up and rest must be measured or whatever. My car is at the body shop getting it installed so as soon as i pick it up i will post acura part numbers and upload the template i got.

 

I was using 3M tape. it is so firm and adhesive.

 

This is the template for a base model spoiler, the acura part number is on it if anyone is interested in it, i got this one directly from acura client relations

 

The body shop i go to told me none of the holes lined up with the tech spoiler because the tech model was not offered without it so it has to be custom installed, 6 posts had to be measured and drilled plus a hole for the camera wires and it has to be perfect the first time thats why i did not attempt this.

 

is the 3M tape not applicable ?

 

Im sure the tape works fine but im not taking any chances, i live in upstate new york and travel to the canadian border in winter where it gets to -40 or colder

 

Im happy with how it came out, and for $125 i know its bolted on and not going anywhere
