Default Ameba trunk lip spoiler

Anyone have any experience with the ameba trunk spoiler? I am wondering if the color will match and if it is the right fit. I have seen it on eBay for about $65 painted and ready to install. Any other good spoilers that aren't a lot of money? I liked the Jp 3 piece spoiler, but it is a little too much for me.

Check out an Oem sportdesign spoiler, similar to the lip spoilers from eBay but flows a little better imo and would be a guaranteed perfect fit, wraps down over the back of the trunk a little. There's a few vendors here that specialize in Sportdesign parts and from what I've seen wouldn't cost a whole lot more.

This one is from nycautoparts but as far as I can tell is a sportdesign rep.

I like that! Can I find that online? Do you know if it comes painted?

Check with gazi here or another vendor, RGW LLC or something like that. They specialize in parting out sportdesigns. Depending on the color of your car you may be able to find one already painted, the one I bought from nycautoparts did not come painted and was double the cost of the genuine Sportdesign I saw listed a few weeks after I bought it, still no complaints on the quality and fitment of the one I got. I think it looks less " tacked on" than the eBay pieces that sit on top of the trunk. If you're slightly DIY inclined it's really not hard to paint small pieces like that, just buy quality paint and wetsand well.

My car is red so I am expecting it to not be as common. Is gazi someone's name on here?

Yeah, I think his screen name is aliga. Not sure how much it'd cost to repaint but it's a relatively small piece so it shouldn't be too much.
