I'm thinking the same thing, but I would like to see the pieces off the car unpainted to get a better idea. From installs it looks like I may want to paint part of it but it's hard to see the lines exactly once painted and installed

They are Rays Gram Light 57xtremes. 18x9.5 +40 all around. The tires are 265/35/18 F/R. But with this set up the fronts will rub against the frame when the wheel is at full lock. A narrower tire will remedy this.

My rear lip spoiler finally has a tracking # and is due here Tuesday the 4th.

The guys at stillen are AWSOME!!! I picked up my roof and trunk spoiler from them today, their facility is huge and their customer service is the best! Ill post pics of the parts installed once i get them painted some time next week!

Can you take a pic further back from the side as well as behind the car? Im trying to get a feel for how the roof spoiler looks.

Wow, looks better than I thought! How much was painting?

How is it installed? Double-sided tape?

Thanks! I liked the way they looked unpainted but painted they look soooo good!

I prepped and painted them my self so i only paid for my paint and color match service which was $28 all together.

The install is very easy everything lines up perfect so theres no guessing where stuff goes or where to line it up with, and yess its double sided tape..

Would it be easy to paint it myself as well? Or do you have specialized equipment that an average car owner wouldn't have access to?

Well i say its pretty easy, the prep is a bit different you have to clean the spoilers over and over again with a powder cleaning agent like ajax, you have to scrub and scrub and scrub untill its like a flat black color. After thats done i sprayed paint adhesive promoter that makes paint stick and it makes paint "flexible" once cured to prevent it from cracking later on. 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...

I know exactly how you feel, i was waiting for the hta frs lip for months, when it was finally done shipping was more than half the price of the lip from the uk to the us so i decided to wait a bit to see if any local vendors start carrying it for a lower price si ce they buy&ship in bulks, shop around maybe a local shop can get it to you for less if they stock up on them, good luck!!

You can try shipping to CBIUSA in Niagara Falls NY. This is a great option if companies don't ship to Canada or the shipping cost is outrageous.
