prepainted would be a very viable option. I will put that on the table for TIM.
He has to figure out the cost of painting it...along with factory paint usage. Tim will want to make sure the color matches to factory.

The lip spoiler is phenominal! Very sexy how the spoiler hugs the body very tight.
How much does the spoiler weight? Can't image being no more the 7-8pds. Only problem I see right now would be rubbing. With the vibration of the panel against the wing, I'd be afraid of the paint rubbing, eventually leading to the paints deteorating. Any problem foreseen in that yet?
I would definitely be interested to see what it would look like on a much darker color. But this would be a 'for-sure' thing! Form, function and style...what could you ask for!
Btw: I couldn't help but notice that you had black plates? ...is that legal in Ca.? I had my plate done like that on my mini-truck last year...but it was a no no...got a warning...so I took it off :?
Your car is coming together quite nicely! I've liked alot of the add-ons, they're very tasteful and they compliment the car very stylishly! Automotive coutour at its finest! LOL :D

in any event, the spoiler will be initially available as fiber glass then eventually a carbon fiber.
The one I have is actually carbon fiber under the paint... it's pretty light... i would say about 6 lbs. But we added some bondo for designing purpose...it might even weigh less.
The wing was designed to "hug" the contour of the tC along the tail lights. There is absolutely no rubbing at all. There is about 1 to 2 " gap between the rear quarter and the wing. I have driven nearly 500 miles with the wing and it's perfectly fine.
The black plates was put on for a special shoot I did for the car... and yes it's illegal to drive on public road with such plates.

Hi Guys
Its me again
No WORRY about the spoiler touch the quarter panel
It look like the wing is sitting on the panel but NOPE!
It is almost 1 inch off the panel so there is no way the spiler hitting the panel =)

well, after staring and staring at it, i really want one
sign me up for it as soon as it's done, pre-painted would rock - I'd say paint as they're ordered if you can get it done quickly, wouldn't be fun to paint 15 of them azure pearl and sell one.... but I sure would love to just be able to slap that baby on my car rather than have to find somebody to paint it, take it to them, worry about a job well done etc
mine's a Flint Mica, so if you are thinking pre-painting it, please add my name to the tally list
