I also have one of these Taiwan roof spoiler painted Matador Red Mica and it looks great! The seller was great and communicated every step of the process including painting.

I think its cheaper if you bring it to your local bodyshop to paint the spoiler. the price difference is around $110-120 for a painted spoiler over a non painted spoiler. Im pretty sure your local bodyshop can paint it for around $50-60.

For those who painted it at the body shop, was it necessary to leave your car as well, so they can match the paint exactly? Or did you just drop off the spoiler with the color code? I wonder if USB is hard to match...

All we need is the color code of your car.

I wanna get the abs plastic one, but the seller is trying to rip me off on shipping, he wants $60!!!!!
