me neither... but for $30 bucks il' take a chance. i wasn't going to spend more than $40 total. i think it doesn't look great on some of the cars in the thread because they are stock. i think you need some kind of kit/lip to pull it off. also i think it looks better on the 97-99 rear than the 95-96. the molded in one looks cool... i might do that.

Yup, I just bought one too. I'm dropping off my car on Wednesday for paint, so hopefully next week I'll have some pics.

for those of you considering this, I have one and I like the way it looks. But I had to buy a second one because the first one was too stiff to stick down. I got it off of ebay for ~30 bucks, it was ABS plastic and it was pretty stiff, you could push it down and it would pop back up on the sides...other people will tell you the same story that have tried this one. So I ended up getting one that came painted for ~90, this one was very soft and has no problems fitting the contours of the car, and the paint is nice too. In my opinion this is the way to go, since you can buy the stiff cheap one, and then pay to have it painted and put it on your car and it still does not even fit right, or just do what I did the second time.

I got a painted one off of eBay, wasn't listed as an auction but contacted a seller that sells spoilers and asked about it. It came painted and the quality was superb, it was surprisingly flexible and the double sided tape has held up well so far. The only flaw i noticed is it was about 0.5 inch too short, so there's less than a cm uncovered on each side. But I would avoid the unpainted one posted, I remember seeing that because of the stiff, cheap material it's difficult to adhere to the trunk and the extra cost of painting it is a hassle.

DO NOT buy the eBay one guys.. Save the trouble and go to paradox-systems.com and purchase theirs! It is simple to install, bends really easy, and I have had mine installed for 3yrs now without problems.

i take it thats it in the sig. glad to see somebody rockin the 95-96 front end. it was always my favorite of the two, and it seems like anybody who has a kit updates it.

*edit* i don't see it at paradox anymore.

when I was trying to get mine, I also tried Paradox, but he (Harry) told me they did not have them any more. I got mine almost a year ago so maybe things have changed since then.
