It'll look good either way, but I'm just not a fan of CF for things where it's purely cosmetic.

In general I agree with you, Dave. However, some tastely-added CF parts would accentuate the car even more. For example, on my Aristo, I have the CF window sills and CF pillars, and then I have the CF AB Flug grill on order too. I think the CF DSR roof spoiler would go really well with the other CF additions. I am not planning to add anymore CF parts though. There's a fine line between looking classy and looking rice.

Default dsr roof spoiler

well guys thanks to hkgs300, i was able to obtain this dsr roof spoiler. it came painted in black already so it was a plus for me. the fitment is great; no warping issue or whatever. i was deciding on this spoiler or the ugo; in the end i pick this cuz it's available now and sit on the class.

Looks good. Sounded like a simple install as well. How much did it cost you painted?

Woohooo! About time Kola! All of us have been real anxious about the fitment and the style of this spoiler? So how do you like it?? It looks fantastic on your car!

PHML, I think he already got his painted black! Great bonus!

Looks like a mid-point between the UGO and the LSportline, nice!

PHML - mine came painted already, but you can get one prepainted.

Letsride - pm HKGS300 for good price . he was a great help in obtaining this for me.

jtanoyo1 - fitment isgreat; no warping or alignment issue! just put on the 3m tape to the back, line them up (got 2 other friends to hold each end while i line up in the middle: i'm very picky when it comes to this kinda stuffs), stick it on the glass, and then put pressure on it. that's it.

That looks perfect. How can I obtain one? How much? Where? Should I contact HKG300 in HK directly? How about shipping?

Yes guyz...I read it was painted black. I guess my simple question was a bit confusing. OK...here I go again.....How much did it cost.... including paint job and shipping? How much for unpainted one?

I got family in HK....but they not into cars....so I won't give them a headache trying to find this piece. LOL!! How can I get one (unpainted)? Is it reasonably priced?

Pete
