Default Rear Window Spoiler

So I was looking into getting one of these, and it was kind of hard to come by a lot of good pictures, or details on people's experiences with any of them. I recently picked up the Spoiler King version off of eBay, so thought I would share some pictures. Feel free to post up other pictures or on different color cars to help other people decide.

When I got this spoiler, I had every intention of painting it, but when I looked at it against the tinted windows, I kind of liked it black. I may change my mind later, but am leaving it as is for now. Installation was stupid-easy; just let it warm up in the sun for a while, then start from one end, and remove the tape as you work your way to the other side. Fitment was perfect. So far, so good.

Hopefully this is helpful to others trying to decide what to do.

Looks really clean, you should try to color match it to the car it would make the entire car stand out!

Do you have any pictures you can share with us? Did you use a body shop for the paint job? I'm real curious as to how the paint matches and holds up over the long run. I still debate if I should get it painted or not - happy with it black, but know it will look good painted too if it matches well and doesn't chip or peel.

I don't have any pics as of right now. I'm actually looking for a body shop to have it painted. It says to only use (flex paint). Now im wondering how much its going to cost to have it painted, hopefully not too much. At first I was just going to put it up as flat black, but I decided not to. Ill post pics once I get it painted...

Flex Paint - Just a flex additive thats added to the paint before spraying. should only be like an extra $5 to the normal cost of painting that spoiler.

It is sold on eBay by Spoiler King, and runs just over $70. Here is the link

TFIG - How's it holding up? Still on tight and looking good?

Has anyone else purchased this and had it painted to match a NGP? Just kind of curious as to how it looks.

Yep no issues thus far. I still haven't painted it, and am very satisfied. Tight as a rock on the window.

Looks clean. Would you consider blacking out your roof with vinyl wrap?

Very nice! I just bought mine, I was also thinking about wrapping it in CF. Think you could take a daytime pic when you get a chance?
