Where is the best place to get prepainted spoilers? And is this a good idea? I'm looking for a rear deck lid spoiler with an aggressive look. I guess these days they have the codes for paint color so should match.

I would buy from one of the vendors on the board. Trinity Autosport uses OEM paint.

just don't buy from JBSPEED. My spoiler came in wavy and crooked. Cheap crap for the price that is close to OEM

If you buy from eBay, the paint match/quality is hit or miss...

For the spoilers, check out my gallery:

I got mine from eBay, 4M Motors I think. It cost me $180 shipped and painted for the roof and trunk spoilers. So far so good, they have been mounted for quite a while and no problems at all with paint or fit. I would be careful about some because after I bought these a lot of other members had posted about problems with spoilers coming from Taiwan and China and I was worried sick until I got mine and everything turned out much better than expected. Good luck
Here is the group buy I posted a long time ago for them:
