    BEWARE people.i ordered the GTS spoiler,got it but the wrong damn color. :evil: its about 10 shades darker like a maroon.i even gave them the paint code,P26 rally red.if anyone does get a gts spoiler(DE,ES guys/gals) make sure its a dealer or at least do it yourself,now i got to repaint it and get off my lazy bum...only paid $125 for it.not worth waiting cuz they might paint it orange. :x

    not for me though guys,i like to keep it clean. :p if i wanted to make it look C.F. from a distance then i would get an actual C.F. spoiler.thanks for the advice.

    I think black will only look nice if you have a black/cf trunk. Just get it painted lancered.. :D

    thanks tatsujo.i dont think they get it cuz if i had a C.F trunk,hood.id paint it black/or even get a c.f spoiler.and paint my roof black as well.but since i dont have c.f. and my car is RED,im gonna be clean.plus i painted my front cus it gives it that sharper look to it.

    Well its $240 if you order it from the dealer, you payed $125, how much would it be to get it painted?
    probably come out the same if not more, haha that sucks!
    see what you get for trying to get a deal and skimping out on quality
    ;p jp

    g

    Quality?it all comes out the same if you can paint with a gun.i had to pay another 90$ to get the paint,reducer,clear,and hardener,AND a friend who can spray as well.BUT, if you want to get the good stuff (PPG) $90 is just the paint,for a PINT.and if you didnt read enough of my thread i ieven said the quality of the paint job was really good,it was just the wrong color.now i gotta wait for it to warm up a bit.its still cheaper doing it this way anyway,i couldve saved another $50 just buying a primered spoiler.and itd still be cheaper.
