After thats done i sprayed 4 light even coats of paint, once they dried i sprayed 2 light coats and 1 wet coat of clear coat, i let them sit for 2 days then sanded them down with 2000 grit sand paper till i had an even dull look all around and polished them with rubbing compound and a lil bit of glaze, finally added a bit of wax and slapped those suckers on!
If you have painted any car parts before it should be an easy process, all you need is an air compressor, a spray gun, and ALOT of patience!
Ill try to get the name of the paint adhesive promotor and share it with you guys for those who want to do it them selfs!

Hmm, the Stillen parts may be more trouble than they're worth for Canadians like me. We don't get free shipping. I contacted them and I got quoted around $320 plus taxes just for the trunk spoiler. Plus the cost/work of getting it painted, I can probably get a 5 Axis or Seibon spoiler instead.
Too bad though. After seeing how nice yours looks, a low cost spoiler like Stillen was a promising choice. But with all these additional costs for Canadians...
