Default Rant... tint/ spoiler

I ordered my spoiler a week ago off EBay from the site that everyone uses on here. Great reviews. Super exited when I got the notification it was delivered today.

Meanwhile, I dropped my car off to get the 2 front windows tinted to match the back. 20% carbon tint. While I was there I said how about installing the remote start and tint for $300. They agreed. Again so excited!! Left and went and did some shopping.

Came back at 5:45 and they said it would be another 1-2 hours. I was so irritated. They hadn't even started the tint. And was only have half way through the remote start. Ugh!!! So it was there for 6.5 hours and I didn't even get the tint done because I couldn't wait that long. So damn irritated.

Even worse, I rush home to get my spoiler, take it outside and it's way darker than my car!! Angry AF. I gave them the paint code and color- Atomic Silver. Needless to say the 2 most things I've looked forward to for a month failed today.

At least my car will be warm when I get in it. Although, I'll have to restart because like others, it cuts off when I open the door!!!

Coors Light time. If the mountains are blue, I'm done.

Post a pic of the spoiler. Was it oem? Mine wasn't but it looks just like oem as if it came with the car and my car is harder than atomic silver, it's autumn shimmer perfect match. Sorry for your experience

Well the only difference between ours is oem and non oem. Otherwise no one could tell a difference looking at both

Default Wrong color


I gave them the wrong paint color.

When I posted my into pic, someone commented how nice the Atomic Silver was. Well I never second guessed it and thought that was my cars color. Googled the paint color code instead of looking at my door. Can't believe I did that. I'm going to see if they will take it back and repaint it... silver lining metallic. Ugh....

That may have been my bad and I sincerely apologize. I thought it looked like my Atomic Silver from the photo. I am really sorry about that.

Thanks guys, window tint is 20 all around with a full sheet in the back no 3rd light cutout. And yea I really love the color was very hard to find only 3 in the east coast. Has a different shine in all lightings.
