Haha, the money you saved offsets that extra $100 to the dealer.

I own a shop so my painting will be free. That was the reason why I pulled the trigger on replica since I got it for around 200. I work on body parts on daily basis so I thought I will have no problem making it fit anyways and use that extra 500 I saved towards my next mod haha

So it would still be a better deal if I were to get the replica than the oem kit if I had to paint them red yes?

All comes down to you and how you like to buy your parts. Personally I don't mind replicas on cosmetics and use extra money saved for performance parts but some people like originals everything, also consider the road condition around where your area if your road is crap and you have a higher chance of scraping or cracking the lip then the replica will be the better choice since if you break one it'll just be $200 and not like $700 lol

I just got the T-style spoiler & painted it myself. Couldn't be happier. Fit is perfect.

Thanks! It looks like its an ultramarine, but judging from your name its an asphalt, do you happen to have any more pictures of the spoiler?

Update: more pics posted. The asphalt does kinda have a blue metallic to it at certain angles.

That is the exact spoiler. I got the paint from AutomotiveTouchup.com . I used the spray cans. 1 can adhesion promoter, 1 can primer, 2 cans base color & 1 can 2K urethane clear coat. They have directions on how to make it look the best and stick to plastic on the website too.
