Default Roof Spoiler

I had my new Spoiler King roof spoiler painted and installed today.
I'm very happy with the subtle change it's made to the look of the car.

How much is it? Where to get it?

Found it on ebay. It is $87 unpainted. Is that where you got it?

Yea, I like the look of that spoiler as well, especially for the price in comparison to the Tom's. I am certain that the Tom's is built much better but I can't see me paying the money they want simply for the look. But at the price of this one I can see going for it.

So I too want to know where the OP copped his from

Yes, I purchased it on eBay.
Make sure that you follow the instructions!
Heat it up to make it pliable to ensure a good fit before painting it.
Use a paint that has flex in it.

My car is black so I guess I don't need to paint it as it comes in flat black.

Now does the spoiler interfere with opening/closing the roof?

...lol...trust me if I hadn't got such a good deal on this one,I would have never even entertained the price of a Tom's spoiler. It was already painted the same color as my car also, so that just made the deal even better

It would look a lot better painted.
The spoiler is very light and doesn't impede the roof operation.
