I got a 3D Carbon 3D500 spoiler that was prepainted. I bought it at CJ Pony Parts, but it is shipped from 3D Carbon. It had the Gurney Flap pinted flat black, and the overall quality of the paint job was good. My car is Red Candy also, and It matches my car color perfectly. There were a couple of very small imperfections on it, so it was not a big deal. They are very hard to see, and you have to know what you are looking for.

Roush conversion here. Paint was perfect in color and finish. I was more concerned about the finish (level of smoothness) vs the color and it is a perfect match. One thing to think of is level of sun fade. Our cars are pretty new so shouldn't be an issue but the longer you wait the higher the chance it wouldn't match due to light fading of the color.

2011 Side Scoops
Bellow are some links to some pictures of the "side scoops." I put them on last weekend. I just followed the instructions that came from DG Auto with the "scoops." The paint finish and match was perfect. The kit included a liquid that is applied under the tape area to improve the curing process of the tape adhesive. I really like the way they add to the "retro" look.

These are the side scoops from 3D Carbon - they also make them for Ford if you have them factory installed. Yes, they use a very heavy grade of double sided tape which goes around the entire perimeter of the back of the scoops. I have no concern about them coming off Bellow are some links to some pictures of the "side scoops." I put them on last weekend.

Ive noticed that American Muscle is now offering Pre-painted parts but not for the 2010's and above. Is this fact or has the website just not been updated yet to reflect the next model years? Seems odd they would paint some parts but not others.
