I'm just afraid that our little community here is going to end up with a lot of rip-off body kits painted and installed in your front yard.

There are car enthusiasts and artistic people out there that will notice the difference.

All true - but I think people sometimes see spray painting as an arcane art, which it's not really. Just a little technique, and with most paints you can fix many of your screw ups with some wet sanding. Gotta learn somehow The biggest thing for amateur painters in my book is safety - make SURE you're not inhaling the stuff, especially if you get your hands on really toxic paints like polyurethane.

So I ordered one from BaysonR...

I ordered one of the Bayson replicas, but it's sitting in my living room while I get quotes from body shops. Yours looks great, but I don't think I could replicate that.

Took me forever to look for this thread. I got a rep 5ad spoiler that I may attempt to paint and mount come spring time. But if I could get it pro painted for ~$150, it'll probably be best to go that route as I am retarded when it comes to body work.
