I installed the Carbon Fiber spoiler today

[koatic]

I purchased my accessories from AllDiscountParts.com and installed them myself today.
Black Type-S emblems
Front and Rear Black A emblems
Carbon Fiber Spoiler
Type-s All season mats
Seat back protectors
Type-s trunk Tray.
Took about 4 hours for everything Except the front A. (waiting to do that when I install PRL intercooler so I only have to remove bumper once..)
I was a little apprehensive about drilling the holes in the trunk, but it was not bad at all, and I am glad I didn't pay the ridiculous amount the dealership quoted.

notes to anyone doing this themselves..
Dropped the clips twice into the hatch frame. grommets near the hinges can be removed to fish them out since you can't turn the car upside down.
Front Type-s emblem on the grill has POSTs in it so had to heat it carefully as to not melt grill and the gently pried it off.

Do you think the accessorie carbon fiber spoiler would be secure enough without drilling the extra holes on the car?

OP stated drilling holes in the trunk. I believe it was done as the dealer would do based on the description provided.

I suspect it could be installed with 3M adhesive only, especially if you use 3m's adhesive promoter. That stuff really makes the bond hold well.

Oh its plenty possible to make an adhesive that would work just fine. If you want alternatives let me know I might be able to work out a new project

you sure can use just use the tape if you want BUT>>>>> what if 3,6 or 10 years down the road after hots/colds and weather wearing the glue comes loose.. your spoiler will definitely be toast as opposed to it being anchored you can simply add more adhesive. just my thoughts on trying to keep a 725 dollar part on the car long term.

I can't seem to find Type S parts on that website, and it only allows me to select the regular Integra as my vehicle. Would you mind sharing links to your parts? I'm planning to do the same to my car.
Thank you!

That table will be highly useful for folks on here, thanks for sharing.

It would have been too easy for Acura to have the carbon spoiler use existing holes.

Im not a fan of the OEM carbon fiber spoiler between the extra holes, peeling issues and price. I’m looking forward for other options to be available, using existing holes and tape preferably in gloss black to match the rest of the car. Artwork body shop has one available made of fiberglass (I believe) .

Artworks has one in gloss black like the factory stock one. They can also paint it to match body color if you want.

 

[StingertimeNC]

Artwork has stopped using the bolt holes though..I think... which means you have to tape up all the holes. It's just put on with 3m adhesive. which is totally acceptable. I'm also waiting for other aftermarket options.

 

[sayonara]

I put a carbon fiber spoiler on my Alfa Romeo Giulia with the 3m tape. After 4 years it was still on firmly when i sold the car.

 

[gregbutler_20]

What was the wait time for the spoiler? In stock? I am in need of one and my dealer dropped the ball. I need to find a place that has in in stock and ready to ship if possible.

Edit: NM. I ordered one with 2 day shipping for less than what alldiscountparts.com wanted to charge me at myacuraparts.com
