I just got my roof spoiler from oem.thing 30 min ago, service was great, after it got painted, took 2 days to get from Taiwan shipped to my door!!! I haven't took it outside and see if the paint is match. I'll report back later.

i got mine from oem.thing awhile back too. fitment is spot on. paint is near perfect. you'd have to be super **** to notice the slight paint mismatch. quality of paint really wow-ed me.

Who did you purchase from? Are they still on eBay?

i just went out and test fit it on my car, the spoiler fits prefect, but the paint don't match as it should but very close. the seller told me that the starfire pearl is hard to match, i told him it's okay.

1. Clean glass
2. Apply 3M double sided tape (or more if its already got some) on spoiler
3. Remove protective strips on tape
4. Place spoiler correctly on rear window
5. Press down
6. Grab a beer and enjoy

EASIEST install ever

Many members here have reported 3M double sided tape holding its weight through car washes, winter, rain, etc. So it shouldn't be a problem. If you apply enough of it and applied enough pressure and everything during the install, you shouldn't have a problem with it.

Will install and post pics this weekend.
