So I really wanted to get a subtle spoiler/lip for my car. That said, I'm a cheap bastard and I don't like to spend much money. I looked around at the options for a while and I decided that I really wasn't in the mood to pay $400-500 for such a small piece. The solution? Pick up an inexpensive one, and paint/install it myself. I should also note that this is the first piece of body work I have ever done, so I was a bit worried. ANYWAYS, here are my results. I spent $47 on paint/primer/clear to finish it up. I think it looks nice and the color match was great for a rattle can:
