Got one from ebay...... it is made out of ABS plastic and the one i got is very bumpy not smooth so definately need work to make it look nice and smooth before painting. So good luck.

Don't worry man, I'll be doing the same thing this weekend when my spoiler arrives. Hopefully ours turn out well!

Double sided tape like the 5AD and other ones of this type.

Haven't taken the leap yet but just fyi I found this one as well - says it's urethane which should work out better than ABS:

My spoiler arrived today. It looks effing mint. I'm so excited about it now. I put on 2 coats of primer tonight. I will let that dry overnight then put 5 coats of color on Saturday and 2-3 coats of clear on Sunday. I think this will look like a 500 spoiler when I'm done.

After 2 primer coats, 4 paint coats there is what it looks like (I still need a couple coats of clear on it but I'm happy with my $74 purchase):

No doubt, will do! I feel like tons of people always want to know how these things look but there are never any images of them. I'm super pumped with how it's looking. I have a feeling people will think it's the TRD one (hopefully).

Alright, I got some clear on it. I wish the sun would come back out...but one more coat and I should be able to let it dry for a while so it looks perfect.

I believe it was automotivetouchup.com or something along those lines.
