Default Bought a new Spoiler...

I did a few searches with nathin, I'm just looking for a good source for paint for the silver streak. The spoiler comes just primed so I'm gonna paint that puppy myself. Checked paintscratch.com but no luck. Any advice is appreciated. This is the spolier .

Black out third brake light and just use 4th and it improves, but w/out that my thumbs point to hell

I was thinking about getting that spoiler myself. I would blackout the 3rd brake light with a overlay. Post some pic when u get it install. I want to see it on a TC before I buy it.

Why don't you go to a body shop to get it painted. Should be around $150.

Does that spoiler look like the Acura TSX?

Seems a bit taller than the acura tsx spoiler. Can't beat the value really only 100$ shipped. I talked to my dealership and I'm just gonna have some paint mixed up and a friend will slap it on. Guess the hardest part is gonna be matching the color shading, Silver can be a Biznitch to shade match . I like the spoiler lightbar, I'll prolly try disabling the stock brake light strip. I'm a spoiler brake light luva .

I'll definitely drop some pics when I'm done, doin the spolier and I'm makin a custom 10" sub-box for a flush mount in the spare wheel well area. Should look TIGHT when I'm all done. L8r

Lil update. Im lokking at about 175$ total: shipped-painted-installed. 2 reasons i did it this way--

1. Save money
2. Closer paint match when you have it painted, they can color match it way batter.

Post come pics soon.
