Hi
97 maxima pebble beige....GXE

Want a spoiler .... I'm searching online...
1-What website you advice to buy from ?

2-Should I go for the painted from them ? or take it to my friend shop for a paint ?

3-Is that a good deal ?

4-around 90$ for the OEM style , is it good ? not expensive ?

5-Does it make so difference in quality from one site to another? or pretty much all around the same in build quialty ?

appreciate your inputs about that thingy...

 

have ur friend paint it.... their color will never match unless its black or white

 

why if you provide them your color code ?

 

because color fades over time..... it wont match...

 

the price is decent i got mine from a junkyard for 25 bucks... dirt cheap in excellent condition so look around a lil more

 

i dont like how any spoiler looks on a 4th gen, i say wingless all the way!!!...

 

If they supply the color code it should match just as good as any part painted at a shop. I have never seen a body shop do anything to the OEM paint to adjust for color fade. Repainted parts are almost always a little off..

You have to watch out with non OEM spoilers. Many of them will develop sags over time. Your best option is to find one at a junk yard and pull it. I went cheap with the spoiler on my Mitsubishi and it began to sag in the middle after just a year.

 

I had to have my spoiler painted 3 times to finally get it right.. because i just gave them the paint code... they need to color match.. you can always tell if a car had something repainted if it wasn't color matched..

 

How exactly do they alter the paint to color match? My body shop always gets in the paint using the code I give them and they put it on without messing with it.. done the same for all my cars even the ones with pearl paint. The difference has always been very, very hard to notice and I have had tons of body work done over the years

I ordered a OEM spoiler for my Galant GTZ in factory pearl red and it matched perfectly, painted by the online retailer. The aftermarket spoiler I had put on my pearl red galant es also matched perfectly right out of the box.. but the middle started to sag on me because it was a cheap spoiler.

Now if I was having paint work done on a Ferrari.. that might be a bit different

 

the color all depends on diffrent things. first of all, your old paint fainted. 2nd, to get the same exact color match, you would have to paint in the same conditions as the rest of the car was. (im talking temp and humidity) and the other reason, is that sometimes these shops mess up some colors.
