Default IS250 Spoiler

I just got this trunk spoiler from "OEM.Thing" on Ebay and got it installed on my 3IS right away. I've received mixed comments on it so far. Some say it looks good, and some say it looks ugly compared to the ones on their 2IS. I personally think it looks quite alright, please let me know what you think about it!

Haha thought so. Oh well, it was only $55 and a heat gun + floss should bring it back to normal. I ordered the car late 2013 so it wasn't an option when I purchased it. Installing the OEM would cause me to drill holes into the trunk and would be expensive having the dealer install it right now..

It's not too bad if painted. I got it on mine. Looks better in person.

Got one as well painted on Atomic silver, to me looks good, nothing too aggressive, it gives a decent look.

The problem was that they said they couldn't paint it "Ultra White" which is the color of my car, I didn't want the two white to be in different shades so I decided to go with a contrasting black. Any idea on how to have it painted ultra white to match the color?

Yeah that's why I didn't bother with that seller. I found another one that offered UW for same price. Perfect match.










You shouldn't spend more than $50 to get it painted.

You could get it painted at a local bodyshop, but I'm guessing you'll probably pay double the price of the lip itself.. The black doesn't look terrible, and these lips are hard to judge from photos, I'm sure it looks better In person

Might consider this one since mine didn't come with a factory spoiler, good to be able to actually see it on USB. Is it painted gloss black or have a matte finish? Seller info? Thanks in advance!
