I agree. Mostly good for getting the defrost working if you park outside. Otherwise like you have stated it is better to drive slowly and warm the engine.

Anyone get quotes on this from a dealer? I just purchased it online, wondering how much others have paid before I start calling around.

The spoiler will probably cost less from online than a dealership, but if you have the dealership install it, they will probably make up the difference on labor since you didn't buy the spoiler from them. To really save some $$$ you would have to install it yourself, IMO.

Thats what I thought.....first dealer was $232 + tax, second one was $128 + tax. Not a bad price to pay for security that I won't screw it up!

Never bought from them, but I have bought all my maintenance items and accessories from this site and am well satisfied. Always the right parts at the right price. http://www.handa-accessories.com/accord.html

with the look of the 2008 honda sedan being what it is (I think it is more classy looking than sporty looking).....do you think a deck lid spoiler or a wing spoiler would look better?...I am leaning towards the deck lid spoiler.....opinions anyone???? I don't recall seeing spoilers on BMWs or mercedes... audis...not that a honda is any of these cars....but .....just thinking......

This is a VERY subjective subject . .but here is my $.02.
 
I think the spoilers only look good on the black or silver 08 Accords (maybe white??) I think the darker colors look very rich and give the sedan a classy "touring sedan" look that is inconsistent with a spoiler (except black which can go both ways). On the other hand, if you were going to add one to a darker car, the deck lid spoiler might be very nice! IMHO, the full wing spoiler only looks good if you have the right, sporty, color.
 
I added a full wing spoiler to my 08, Silver EX-L with black leather interior. It looks very nice. But, I would not have installed it on the dark red or grey Accords that I was also considering. Further, if I had it to do over again, I would have more seriously considered the lid spoiler, rather than the full wing. It might be sporty, without making the car look faster than it is.

It's all a matter of personal preference. I have a wing spoiler on my black 03 sedan. It was on the car when I bought it, along with tinted windows, and mud guards. I probably would have purchased one for it, if it was not already there. I like the spoiler, because it gives the car a more sporty look IMO.
 
Older BMWs did have wing spoilers (early 90's), before they designed the trunk lid with the little lip flare already on it.

You guys make a good point, it does look better on darker colors. I am thinking of getting black, with the spoiler. Though it is much more upkeep on the black, but hey, you only live once right.
