^ Wow i dunno if its the picture or not, but yours looks more off than my roof spoiler does on my starfire pearl, and i thought that was a really hard color to match.

Your best bet is gonna be to get it repainted, but even then, the clear coat is gonna make it appear brighter then the rest of your car, especially on white. Another option would be to wrap it with black Vinyl or paint it black and install it. Although this looks much better with a black roof of course.

if you're going to paint it to match the SFP you might as well spend the same amount of money and get the real thing, get a black roof and vinyl the spoiler black, or don't have a spoiler at all.

Yeah mine is not a perfect match but, it's not as off as yours. Weird...I thought crystal white was pretty much the same as starfire pearl.

Default Roof Spoiler

Has anyone installed a roof spoiler from oem.thing on a 2011 IS250? It's listed to fit a 2010 and was wondering if there were any differences in the roof or glass from the 2010 to the 2011.

Do you get a lot of dirt accummulating under it? Is there enough room to wipe?

How much does painting a roof spoiler at a local shop run? I have starfire pearl and even my wing that i bought from swell is off sorta like that roof spoiler lol. I hear if you sand/buff it some it might get the paint to match better, but also takes off some of the clear coat obviously.

I actually just got a quote from one of my local shops for $125 sanded down and painted. He showed me a paint card and it matched my car a hell of a lot better than how it originally came painted. I might bite just because it bothers the hell out of me.

Most likely talking about the "Lexon" roof spoiler. I'd still be saving a couple of hundred bucks after getting it re-painted, LOL!
