I've never seen any dealers spray the hatch or trunk to blend-match the manufacturer add-on spoiler. In fact most of them outsource the paint job entirely and install them in their own shop (or parking lot in some cases). There's not a terrible amount of variation from the original paint code to what you see in a new car on the lot. All you have to do is drill the holes and set the sealant.
So yeah properly filling and sanding the hole and painting the trunk or hatch panel is harder. I guess I should have specified on the consumer.
But try this... go to a dealership that has the big STi spoiler on a car and tell them you want the car without the spoiler. They won't want to do it or will charge you out the ass, or point you to another car. But adding one on as an option is never a problem.
