rear trunk lip

I was thinking about getting one of those rear trunk lips like they sell at the dealership. I have looked on trdsparks but the price is kinda high at 279 or some. I did come across this on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Paint...spagenameZWDVW

Has anyone bought this from this seller before? I dunno if i should trust the painting to be matching with my car. What you guys think?

They did use double sided tape....and screws...but it's not even...

They installed it on my car BEFORE I purchased it...$400 dollar markup on the price...but I wanted the color and an Auto...so oh well

GET 3M HEAVY DUTY!!!

Even though you may think that tape will hold, there is a good reason why some require screwing into the hatch...be careful...

sorry guys pics are gonna have to be on hold for awhile cuz i just noticed that my spoiler has like ten or so scratches on it but it is under the clear coat? weird huh. and you know what sucks, I noticed that even though the ebay person say their shop is in CA, the address on the box was a spoiler shop like five mins from my house. Waste of 30 bucks even though i got it after two days......
