Default Roof and Trunk Spoiler

Where is the best place to purchase a roof and trunk spoiler (quality and beat price)?

Thanks!

Will the 3M doublesided tapes already be attached?

No. A roll of tape should be included in your package.

Thanks. Is there anywhere in the states as shipping time from Taiwan is a concern.

I've bought trunk lips from Taiwan it usually only takes a couple of weeks. Bought a grill for the Mrs. Sonata without the H on it from Taiwan it took 9 days. Just buy from high ranking sellers with free shipping. I also looked after reading this thread and saw one seller that had the roof and trunk painted for $199.

My items from OEMthing actually came really quickly. Faster than a lot of stuff I get from the States.

I did have to pay an extra $20 or something for taxes and duty though.

I ordered my trunk spoiler from eBay and my roof spoiler from a user. Expecting a few weeks for delivery. No rush here! Now it's just a waiting game

I'm seeing a lot of options for a roof spoiler on Ebay (OEM style, V style, R style, etc). Which one do you guys prefer? Does anyone have a pic comparing them side-by-side?

Thanks!

Purchased a SFP rear spoiler from oemthing three weeks ago. Color was not perfect but still surprisingly good considering my expectations. $100 shipped and took about 7 days TOTAL painted (Ordered on a Saturday, received it the next Saturday).

There are plenty of vendors and MikeFoxx said, purchase from shops with great ratings and you should be fine.

I purchased mine from eBay as well. The roof and trunk spoiler painted for $200. Purchased on 7/02, and they were shipped immediately from China. It's 7/6 and they're already in the states en route to Miami with an estimated delivery date of 7/09. So pretty much one week, and that's also including the 4th of July holiday. Not too bad. Hopefully they're of decent quality. But considering it's just spoilers and nothing that will jeopardize my safety, or performance based, as long as they look good I'm happy. Don't need the top of the line item.

Ebay $99. Shipped pretty quickly. 3M Tape came with it. Already painted and it matched very well.

I got my OEM style trunk spoilor for under 40 dollars. It came with knockoff 3M double sided tape which I did not use.

Be careful when you're installing it.. I bought and used the 3M Automotive Acrylic Plus Attachment Tape for my OEM spoiler from Sewell. I pried out the three bolts and removed the old 3M using Goo Gone. Cleaned it as best I could and put on the new 3M tape. Covered up all the sides and put some down the middle. Cleaned off the trunk using rubbing alcohol and heated it up using a blow dryer then placed the spoiler on. I must have done something wrong because my trunk spoiler was gone the next day while I was driving it. Could have been the rain the next day.. or I must have installed it incorrectly because everyone else on this forum seems to have no problem with using just 3M tape...

Or someone stole it?
