Default should i trust this roof spoiler?

roof spoiler, made and painted in taiwan when you give them the paint code. Made of "PUR" which I assume is polyurethane? I'm just worried about fitment and paint quality? Any thoughts?

That is a tough one. PUR is the abbreviation for Polyurethane (http://www.modernplastics.com/plasti...reviations.htm). But it is less than $100 painted and shipped. If you decide to get it make sure you pay with Paypal.

06spdrcer: I would definately use paypal and i think the seller had a high rating on ebay

GS300ToM: do you know something about these that makes it garbage or do you just not like the way it looks?

ac921ol: you know ppl with GS's that got this same spoiler? any pics (better than the ebay one)?

I may jus get it unpainted and have it painted myself since i have to paint some bumper damage on my car anyway

I actually got one of these!!!! Lol same item but different seller. The fitment is pretty good. I had to bent it a lil to fit sides under the window trim but overall is great. There is a tiny gap between 1/8 to 1/4 in on each corner but barely noticable unless u that picky =P

U get what u pay for but so far mines holding up pretty well. I'm happy with it =D I'll get pics as soon as I can to help out =P

Eagerly awaiting pics...

cool. my car is cinnabar pearl...i want to make darn sure that it matches well. Don't think it would be too much extra to have my shop do it when they do my bumper...the peace of mind would be worth it.

I'm going to a bodykit place on saturday to look into a front lip...if I don't see anything that I like there, I'll probably pick up one of these...as long as those pics from UcDrewskii look good! *nudge get those pics up!* haha j/k

Thanks dude!! The gaps aren't too bad for 70 bucks haha...

I'm still on the fence about the way the spoiler itself looks, not sure if I like how it flips upwards...but if I get it I'll post pics of the paint and fitment.

Thnks again UcDrewskii
