I received my ebay ordered trunk and roof spoiler (painted jet black) earlier this week and I just wanted to post-up my thoughts.
The fit of the pieces is spot on it should be a easy install with the provided 3M tape. I decided to have it painted by them, so it would be plug & play for me (I don't have the patience to deal with body and repair shops so I do most of this type of easy work myself).
The first thing I noticed about the paint was that it is soft and easily swirled (but that's the case with most ABS aftermarket pieces). I would rate the paint job as arrived at 8.5 out of 10 (with ten being a swirl free job that needed no attention at all). This is about what I expected for the price. The were a couple of blemishes and a few minor rough spots. The good news is after a little Zainos AIO polish (on the blemishes, rough spots, and to take out the swirls) and a couple of coats of Z5 polish both pieces are right where they need to be. I am extremely satisfied.
I got these from eBay seller 4A Motors (4A Motors on eBay) and the total price for both pieces (including painting and shipping) was $205.00.
For me, a super deal. Now for the pics!

I didn't have to do anything special or out of the ordinary for the order. I paid for them on January 26th and got them yesterday. There was no mail delivery Friday, Saturday, or Sunday due to the east coast Blizzard or else I would've prob had them last week sometime. They came via EMS Worldwide delivery (delivered locally by USPS).
