Default MV Tuning Spoiler

So I received my MV Tuning spoiler and I did a test fit. It seems to fit perfectly! Here are a few pictures of it completely unpainted and no tape or anything. I just sent it to get painted black because I love the blue/black contrast so I will update once I get it back and I install it. Also I am attaching a photo of what it should look like once it’s painted and installed.

I've been eyeing that same spoiler, and I also have the ultra sonic blue haha. In some pictures from the back, it almost looked too short on the sides. How was it in person?

What do you mean exactly by too short? To me it’s fine but it’s personal preference? Haha

Haha, you’re probably right. Perhaps I’m just used to seeing spoilers that go all the way to the edge of the trunk lid. I love the side profile of the car with that spoiler though. I’ll be looking forward to some more pictures when you get it installed

I did. I thought I was gonna sell my car, but ended up keeping it. I'm glad I did. I have one again, and it's all painted up and mounted.

Looks great dude! Reminds me kind of the BMW M4 competition style spolier.

We carry these as well! Contact me for pricing!

Installed the spoiler today! I am very pleased with how it looks and the contrast of the black and Ultrasonic Blue Mica. Used 3M’s stage 2 molding tape to install. I also used their adhesion promoter to ensure good adhesion to the car.

This particular one from MV Tuning only comes unpainted. If you look at my original post I test fitted it unpainted then sent it to a body shop to get it painted black. They only have pictures of it painted black but it comes unpainted.
