f10 spoilers on ebay with paint?

There are some oem style spoilers on eBay that are relatively cheap and are already painted. Any takers yet? I am tempted to pull the trigger!

I picked one up for my e46 a long time ago from ebay already painted and near as I can tell it is exactly like the OEM one. I must have paid around $25 for it. It matches my paint and has lasted at least 3 years already. The same thing from an OEM store was a few hundred dollars! Your spoiler will be different and honestly if you're paying more than $100 I wouldn't risk it without feedback available but a similar deal worked out well for me in the past.

If you are worried about paint match and quality, we carry a performance style lip that we offer painted with a guaranteed fit and finish.

Let me/us know if you pull the trigger and order one......I was thinking about ordering a non painted one and then getting it painted here. That way I know its a perfect colour match.

I just placed an order for one. The problem is that the color code for dark graphite metallic is not showing up on his color chart nor the website.

Can someone confirm dark graphite color code?

i think its hit or miss on these aftermarket spoilers... ive purchased a replica ac schnitzer roof spoiler for my e46 m3 back in the days and the fitment and paint was horrible... but then again there were otheres that had perfect fitment and paint

post some pics if you end up picking one up...if the paint matches and fitment is near perfect im down to save some money!

I went ahead and purchased it. I will NOT be installing it until our brutal NYC winter is over. It will be going on at the sametime as my DPE's if all goes well :-D. Figure mid March.

I'll be interested in one of these also. Let us know how paint and fitment is when it arrives. Seems resonable for $150 shipped...wonder if its made of fiberglass or polyurethane? There are 2 sellers on ebay with same price shipped and pictures...wonder if its same company.

for the price I am 99.9 percent sure that it is a fiberglass spoiler. did not get the item yet, but I will definitely let you know. The seller has a phenomenal feedback rating........ I have high hopes.

i just got mine today. It is definitely a fiberglass spoiler. I did not install it yet, but when I "mounted" it on the trunk......fitment was perfect. The paint match was excellent as well BUT it did have some swirl marks in it. I am assuming they had to wet sand these things a little bit to remove some orange peel. This is not a big deal for me. I will be polishing and waxing the piece before I install it with the included 3M double sided tape.

Anyone have suggestions on where to put the tape? Should I use a different type of tape other than what the seller sent me?

I bought a Hamann rep , painted on EBay for my E92. It looked and fit great. Had it for 3 years with no issues.

My painted spoiler just arrived today, I must say that it looks fantastic and the fit is perfect. Haven't installed it yet but I'll take some installed pics tomorrow. For about 150 painted and delivered- this can't be beat!
