!!! Lip Spoiler Help !!!

[chirayus]

Thinking about buying a lip spoiler in ebay (i.e. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...category=33638) but there're so many sellers and types of material made for this lip. Any suggestions and info will be greatly appreaciated. How much should the paint/installation jobs cost for local bodyshop quality work. Thanks again you guys

Link no workie..

I got a M3 lip spoiler offa ebay, I made the mistake of getting the coupe one, but as it turns out, it's the right size, the sedan ones seem to be 'short'. It's not the same thing going for 189 or more on some sites, but it's not crap, solid polyurathane.. About the only safe item I'd get on ebay. (there are a few, gotta find the good vendors..)

Haven't painted it yet, that can vary depending on where you go, and who is doing it, and how they do it.. $70-200 is a good range to bank on.

They come with long 3M strips, I would suggest also using good tack/glue when you put it on, I've heard of them coming off with just the 3M..

Proceed with caution!

I am curious to see if anyone else has done this, but I would proceed with caution. I recently purchased a polyurethane one from an ebay vendor, and while the length looks fine (I haven't actually installed it yet), the curvature does not match the curvature of the trunk lid. It will flex, but I am very concerned about (a) the paint cracking (I haven't painted it yet either), and (b) the fact that it will be under constant stress from being flexed, and will the adhesive tape permanently hold this piece under stress. It is flexible, but the amount of force needed to flex it enough greatly concerns me.

I sent the seller an e-mail last week, which was not responded to. At this point, I regret spending the $50, which I have a feeling will probably go to waste.
