new Wing

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.

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

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.
