I got mine from the spoiler store and paint match was spot on but the finish left something to be desired. The good thing though was it has plenty of clear coat so you can wet sand w/ 2000 grit and rub it out w/ a 3M polishing material.
I must have come out pretty well on mine. It had less orange peel than the factory paint. Mine isn't the worst case of orange peel from the factory, but there is some present.

Seems like orange peel is standard equipment on cars nowadays...

Thanks everyone for the input and responses. I really appreciate it!
We are talking about these two holes per side, correct?

Thanks again!!

I also can vouch for the spoiler, I put mine on last week and I'm loving it. Finish was great, installation wasn't too hard. It did take about 2 hours though to get the adhesive off, I just used a credit card to get the majority of it off, then went to town with a rag and some goo gone. I did rub down my fingers quite a bit, they were hurting for a couple days afterward. You do not need more than just the two holes, that's all I used and it turned out great and stable. Make sure you line up the holes right though when you push it down with the 3m tape, I was off by like 1/8th of an inch, so it took my friend basically hanging on it to line it up right for the screws. Good luck though, completely changes the look of the car, especially if you bought the car with a huge ricer wing like me. I have more pics in my sig if you want to see how it looks on my car.

Here's TacoBill's write up on how to install the spoiler, worked great for me, and you can always trust TacoBill Taco Bill Installation Guide

UPDATE: A helpful hint... when you pull on the red backing from the 3M tape don't take it off just pull it off enough so as to protrude out the side of the spoiler. Do that at all the ends and when your ready place down carefully so its barely sticking, make sure its where you want it. Now pull the backing out from under spoiler and then press down like hell...lol

That's your two factory holes, the hole towards the front on each side will not be used. The optional hole would require you to drill between those holes and the side of the decklid.

Amen brother! That's by far the worst part!

Good tip, would've save me a ton of headaches I had during the installation process, make sure you line up your holes before you put the spoiler on!!! That 3m adhesive is strong stuff.

Hi All,

Did you all use the screws that came with the new spoiler for the existing holes, or use the original threaded studs and nuts that came off the old spoiler? I noticed that they do screw in as well.


Thanks!!!
