I painted some stock 17` anthracite bullitt's black for my drag setup. I just used the rattle can found at napa for painting wheels. It didnt come out so great. Good enough for the track but kinda sh**ty for a DD wheel. If you plan to buy new wheels anyway, then why not. I did read a few threads about painting wheels. Try a search and see what others did to get a good finish.
Not a good picture but you get a idea.

A spoiler delete might end up looking good. Its kinda hit or miss in my opinion.
I was going to go with the spoiler store option but ended up jumping for the Roush spoiler. I LOVE how my roush spoiler looks (i have no pictures though, and its not in my sig pic).
It was far more expensive then the gt500 option but it was worth it.

You can probably find a stock spoiler pretty cheap. What color is your car?

I'm just curious, do you have any pictures of the spoiler because it sounds like it's a steeda wing with the chrome inserts which you could probably sell to someone for decent money and get the GT500 wing. Does it look like this:

http://www.americanmuscle.com/steeda...reet-wing.html

American Muscle has it listed at $299.99 brand new so I would say $150 used isn't out of the question. Not to mention if you have the steeda aluminum winglets (chrome looking pieces at the end) you could probably get an extra $50 since they go for $94.99 brand new.

OP, Sounds like you possibly have a Steeda spoiler? Pics?
Eddie, yeah I have wheel spacers. When Cam, Brandon and JC worked on installing my springs, they were asking about the spacers. The wheels and spacers were on the car when I bought it, so I don't know the specifics. The Sumitomo HTRZ II tires are close to being flush with the wheel well, however the Falken tire on the right rear is a different shape (side wall is not as tall and square), so it does not feel out the wheel well as much, which kinda sucks. I got a nail in my tire, that's why I had to replace it out. The places I went to didn't have the HRTZ11's, but had the III's, which were really expensive.
