    I love my EndLessRPM duckbill spoiler. Plus mine is also Anthracite Metallic but an 05 and love that color. I did however read somewhere that it’s not good to cover the holes on the inside of the spoiler. As those holes help with the expansion and contraction with the hotter and cooler weather.

    • @thecarfiend11
      @thecarfiend11  3 роки тому +1

      I was wondering about those holes lol. It kinda makes sense. There's a good chance they were plugged up from the silicon stuff. But oh well. Might be removed later so I can redo the paint

    For at home painting if u ever want to turn your garage into a booth you can put up plastic but also spray a mix of diluted glue in water to keep the dust down but also making a simple shroud over a box fan set to reverse w a duct outside a window is great. Lots of gundam modelers use at home airbrush studio setups for cheap! Great video

    Was previous spoiler installed by yourself or was it OEM? I plan on also getting a duckbill spoiler for my TL in the future but I'm not sure when I remove the OEM spoiler on my type-s whether if it's bolted onto the trunk or if it's adhesive stuck onto it. Looks great on your TL eitherways!

    • @thecarfiend11
      @thecarfiend11  3 роки тому

      Duckbill sits closer to the edge than my replica spoiler. I cant really help with that, since I don't own a real TypeS. I'm sure others have installed. So you may need to go to the forums/fb groups for confirmation

      Thanks man. I appreciate the love. I have OEM A-spec lips (bought a few years ago). They are discontinued and very hard to find. They can be bought on various acura websites, but they rarely go back in stock. Check local Acura dealerships, they may have them also. As for NON-OEM lips, they are what they are. fitment isn't the best, no mounting hardware, etc. They require come extra work, but they can be done.
