Default What happened to the cheap roof spoiler on Ebay?

Doesn't seem to be listed anymore?

Besides Lexon, anyone else make these things? I remember seeing a few posters who had something else.

Well $200 later for the paint job, my roof spoiler is installed and looks perfect! Guy said the 3-stage pearl white paint is hard to do?

looks and fits great!

Of course they gonna say its hard.... How else do you think they gonna charge you $200 to paint a small spoiler like that? 3 stage just basically mean that they have to paint 1-2 extra layer of pearl to the regular base coat before the clear coat paint. So that so called "hard" basically took him an extra 15 mins.

damn so you saying I got ripped off?

So did the other white pearl IS-F owners really only pay $20 to paint their roof spoiler? I find that hard to believe and too cheap even for something this small. I was expecting maybe $100 bucks....shiet

I'm having trouble keeping the drivers side top corner of my ebay spoiler down...anyone have any ideas on what i could leave on that corner overnight to keep it down? I used the good 3M tape like everyone else. The angle right there makes me really nervous to leave any type of weight on it overnight. The rest installed fine..I'm just still unsure if I like the overall look or not (for the price though I thought I'd see).

rip the spoiler off entirely, take off all the 3m tape. go buy a can of paint reducer from pepboy or autozone or advance auto. rub the reducer onto the spoiler, then re apply new 3m tape. Before you stick on your spoiler, use the reducer to wipe the rear window. I did this process with my spoiler and it hasnt budged at all since day one. the reducer makes the 3m tape super sticky, almost like the stuff you put on before sticking on a dash kit inside the car

Thanks..my buddy who owns a body shop and I did all that and cleaned the spot thoroughly...still just having issues with that one tip of a corner...it's not a big deal so I'll just give it some time and see if the heat here in OK helps me.
