Rear spoiler, R230...

Friend with a nice R230 in 744 Silver wants a rear painted spoiler. Lots of discussion here about who to buy or not buy from. Basically, we want it to be turnkey with a quick trip to the body shop. Who is the preferred vendor here?

Thanks for the info...

Get one from the dealer painted to match his car. No need for a trip to the body shop.

If interested, PM me. I don't want to put the vendor's name out there like that. To their credit, they refunded my money after unsuccessfully trying to sell me a non-carbon fiber one, instead. They almost refunded it too quickly. I think it was a common occurrence.

I will show pics though. Quality is poor, and fitment is one step above horrible.

I got what a paid for. I definitely bought the lowest cost one, sold on this forum. How different could it be from the more expensive ones, right? Learned my lesson.
