faded spoiler fixed
so...I was tired of looking at my polished paint, and this dry,ashy faded spoiler. I figured I would give this carbon wrap a chance. note: this is my first time wrapping anything, but I think it came out ok.

about a hour...I did it without removing the spoiler, had someone stretching the vinyl while I applied and massaged with a heat gun. My recommendation would be to remove the spoiler, Makes life a little easier.
You could buy paint can from an auto body supply shop, that auto paint in a can and paint it yourself. Thats what I did when I had the GFX kit on my IS. Came out pretty nice. Or take it to any body shop 50-75 bucks have them reshoot it

Indiana Alumni cutting corners just like the basketball program. LOL. Just kidding man. It's not my style, but I guess you can get away with it on a black car. I'd probably have taken a chance rattle can spray painting it before I wrapped in vinyl CF. Actually, I'm lying... I'd just have gotten it painted by a shop if it bothered me.

not bad and a cheap fix but i would have rather spent the $100 to get it repainted or at least used a black vinyl. That cf vinyl looks nothing like cf which is the only reason im opposed to it.
