I kinda had the same problem, i'm limited to shops, so i had to use maaco,the baked my roof spoiler and front lip, only issue i had was the 3M tape on the spoiler wasn't strong enough. i redid the whole tape, and its good now, paint came out perfect too.

ok, let break donw the cost of getting a Stillen spoiler Vs. OEM Spoiler

Stillen Cost
Stillen unpainted spoiler = $250 (unbelievable )
paint job = $100
installation = $50
Grand total = $400 tota
hassle of getting it paint and install
spoiler has no LED light.
warranty???? if you're lucky
spoiler can fly off the trunk while driving at high speed or on the freeway...

OEM spoiler Cost

painted spoiler = $275
installation = $100
no hassle of installation
pre-painted and designed for the car w/o the hassle of installation and look better too.
warranty by manufacture
bolted down instead of double sided tape


Why go thru all that hassle when you can get the OEM spoiler........

Dawn may as well get the Stock OEM that is pre-painted and designed for the car w/o the hassle of installation and look better too.

hopefully that someone won't see their spoiler flying off the trunk while they at high speed.
I am desperatly trying to understand what you are trying to say in your post but can't seem to understand.

No problem man, I'm def glad no one else has to go thru what I did. It almost makes it worth it knowing that I am preventing others from having the same drama.
