Just got my new spoiler thought id post a pic. It fits really well; I thought I would have to do some heavy sanding. One question though, Im not going to get the entire car sprayed till i buy the ss hood (buyin that next Friday). I figure its gona take me about another month to save for a decent paint job after that - is there any way i can spray this spoiler? not looking for show quality but id like to keep it on for the next two months or so before i get it all painted - cause otherwise im just gona put the stock on back on.

thanks; i really want to but i plan on dropping a large amount of cash in about two months to do the entire car with new hood so i dont really want to put money into painting it unless its something i can make look reasonably well painting it myself - is that possible?

yes....but it takes time patience and practice. and a ton of rattle cans LOL. but seriously, if you can afford to get the entire car done that is 100% your best bet. I've done a few rattle jobs and they can never match the car perfect and it just isn't the same and a pro job

yea im not looking for great quality here but just want it to match from a far - is there any way i can ruin the spoiler or cause my self more cost ( have to strip the spoiler or more prep work) when i have it professionally done?

IMO just leave it til it's done right, less chance of screwing something up

yup, take it off and leave it so the body shop has less work to do in prep......which will save you a little money

yea dont spray it with rattle cans PLEASE, and dont even bother "practicing" yourself even if u have access to equipment. ALL that will have to come off in two months then, more $ spent then.

I agree with everyone else. It looks good, and don't paint it yourself. Whatever you put on it, will only have to come back off.

it looks good, but is it me, or does the wing have a lip at the top of it?

yea it has a small lip, the shadow makes it seem more than what it is.

i liked the smoked one better.
