My E has some bolt holes on the top where the spoiler should go but they are filled in and I remember reading the installation in the Honda PDF about drilling some holes. That is why I mentioned that. I'll let you know how it turns out once it gets here.
Uhhh, Oops. I just submitted a best offer on a Spoiler. He had it listed at $139.99 with $30 shipping. I put in a best offer of $99. And it got accepted. Only problem, I really dont want it... and Its the blue RBP. My E is NBP.... Would a blue spoiler look funny on a blacked out Element? It sounds Ok in my head...
Anyone local wanna take it off my hands for $139?

The one I got was Root Beer and it was free shipping and I offered $140. Maybe should have went lower but wasn't sure if they would take it. So now all I have to do is paint it YR539P.
Ha! Yeah, I kind of wish I had offered it at $100 flat. These have been on there a while and the guy probably just wants to ditch them now. Either way, I'll see how it looks as blue.... but I can see myself plasti-diping it black. I think the matte black of the dip will actually go with the black plastic trim on the roof and look ok.
And yes, all of these OEM models will fit any year element. I searched and plenty of photos proved it. Also, somepeople claimed a 10% better MPG with it on.... well atleast that's what the wifes were told.... :grin:
Hey, do you think I can/should paint it myself with the big can of Touch Up Paint in my cars color or should I have it sprayed at a shop? (I don't have a big enough Air compressor and guns.) Since its mixed single stage application?

you will not get an even finish or sheen much less a matching clear coat with a rattle can. That combined with the pearl/metal flake body color it will look horrible.
One rattle can paint job out of 1000 may have come out "well". I cant seem to view any pictures on that thread so I cant comment. Ive painted cars and parts so unless youve got a little experience dont waste the time and money. Rattle can paint is overly thinned out meaning the chances of flaking, cracking, peeling... are high. Its going to come down to the quality and longevity your after.
Your looking at only $100-200 to have just the spoiler painted that's not to much to have it done the right way. If you went with just gloss black that is the cheapest
