Appreciate your posts thus far especially the images which I'd like more of! I have some questions that I would very much like answered which I'm assuming you'll answer because you answered helpfully in my other posts.
Where did you get the paint work done and how much was the paint and the paint job? I'm thinking of doing my spoiler and want to know if I should just get the Balsarini spoiler instead and sell my spoiler. I'm also thinking of having my local body shop paint the rear bumper skirt as well. Maybe we can get a bulk deal going for the Balsarini spoiler! I'm in SoCal btw.
What tools do I need to take off the spoiler and rear bumper skirt?
Where'd you get the Job Designs body kit and for how much? Did they come painted already?
I really appreciate your help!

I like the Balsarini spoiler as well and would take that over the OEM. I'm in for a group buy but of course it will depend on final pricing.
You can paint the OEM spoiler for now until the Balsarini spoiler comes in. I'm sure it wouldn't cost must to get it painted, but it really depends on where you get the work done at. I got my parts painted at a friends shop so pricing was reasonable since he's done work for me in the past.
In regards to the lower rear bumper skirt, it's part of the rear bumper and cannot be removed. I too was thinking on the same lines as you (painted all lower black parts body color) but when the dealer told me it'll cost about $1000 I passed and picked up the Job kit.
What tools do I need to take off the spoiler and rear bumper skirt?
If I'm not mistaken the rear spoiler uses either 10mm or 12mm sockets. There is also a plastic locking tab in the top center area that'll need to be squeezed with a long nose pliers. Furthermore, there is also another plastic clip that holds the center area of the spoiler. I broke this plastic piece when I pulled the spoiler off and had to buy another at the dealer so be aware of it. I'm thinking the spoiler is supposed to be pushed up towards the sky when removing it (so you don't break that clip) but can't confirm this. I'm going on how it's attached and the design of the locking tabs.
See comment above about rear lower bumper skirt.

The Job Design kit did not come pre-painted. I sourced it from a former vendor in the US
I really appreciate your help!
No problem, that's why we're all here to help each other out

I did consider airrunner but didn't know if anyone had it installed and didn't want to be the first. If you have some video showing how high and low it drops your car I'd appreciate it. Have you had any issues with it (blown hoses, tank slow to pressurize, tank too small, etc)? Any pictures showing installation of the components? Pros/cons to the system? Thanks for the help.

Thinking of getting one of these bolt over grills. Can anybody attach a photo of what it looks like from the side? Seems it might bulge a bit since it's being bolted over the existing grill.
thanks
