Default So I Bought One of Those Painted Trunk Lip Spoilers Off Ebay.....PICS

I saw on here a while ago that a few members bought this spoiler which was only like $60 and already painted. It looked awesome and the price was even better so I bought one myself. Just thought I'd share some pics with everyone incase you're thinking about gettin one. They are very easy to install. The only thing I was unsure about is that it doesn't cover the entire trunk, there is something like 1/2 inch on each side. I looked on here for examples and apparently thats how its supposed to be. The paint is a perfect match.

I like those type of lips but if you would have saved a bit more you could have one with a low profile brake lamp in it and cover the rest of the back but for 60.00 ok...

Looks like your car is supersized. Not my favorite but it's not my car. Good Luck with it

nice lip spoiler. Are the ends raised up a bit, it doesnt look like they sit flush with the trunk. Maybe its just the angle

Yeah its got double sided 3M tape, which is how it goes on. That angle I took just makes its look worse. You can't see it unless you look at it just like that up close.

Well sorry to disappoint some of you, but that is how its supposed to look. Its not a $300 spoiler than another $100 for paint and install. If I wanted to spend that much money, I would have, but I didn't. Its a cheap nice already painted factory color lip spoiler, nothing special, espcially for the price.

I've already got a few PMs about who the seller is on ebay, so I'll post a link to the auction.

I bought the same spoiler and for the price you can't beat it. I love it, I'm not into big wings or even the OEM wing and it definitely changes the rear of the car. Looks good.
