I have to admit, I wasn't sure about ordering a trunk spoiler from an overseas vendor for $110 painted and shipped. But wow, this came out great! Paint is a perfect match, although I'm sure 040 Black is easier than Obsidian, dunno.

Here are some pics...

Nicely boxed and wrapped. Ample double sided tape. Was also inspected by customs.




















I have a carbon fiber front lip from JL-Motoring in the garage. I don't like the CF look so I'll put it on after I get it painted. Pics to come after I get that done.

Gorgeous!

I understand that these are typically attached with special double-sided tape. How tricky was it to get it installed centered and straight?

Damnit, Tony. Now I'm gonna want to get a carbon front lip, unpainted of course.

How's the quality of the paint? My car came with a lip spoiler that looked okay when I got it. Over time, the finish began to dull. Less than a year later the clearcoat failed and I had the spoiler repainted.

Yeah, it would have been easier with a second person there but I did it by myself. I would just peel back an inch or so of the tape backing, rolling it over the side of the spoiler. There are several pieces so I did this for each piece of tape, so basically there was a piece of that red plastic rolled back and only an inch or so of the actual sticky tape exposed.

Then I positioned one edge of the spoiler onto the trunk. Most of the backing is still on so it's kinda easy to un-stick it and re-position it. Once it was in place, I rolled back the red plastic... while the spoiler exactly where I want it. So basically, the spoiler is on the trunk with the tape backing mostly on. Removing the backing is easy and I don't have to move the spoiler. That make sense?

I'm pretty pleased with the paint. I don't know if it has a clear coat or not or if it'll fade over time. It's ABS plastic. Color match looked pretty perfect. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
