how much you looking to spend dude? you can get one for I think 130. and it'll be gel coated either white or black depending on which one you order, so no need for paint unless your car's a different color

^^Don't buy that one if you care about fit, finish, or quality. I had one and it sucked.

steven said he liked his?
They're just really poor quality. They weigh less than 5 pounds, crack easily, and aren't anything more than a piece of cheap, hollow plastic. Fit was terrible. I only left mine on for about a week and I sold it. I would hold out for a Kanean wing.

Slow90coupe, you must just have bad luck.


I picked mine up in person from them and the fit is perfect. It weighed about the same as my old wing, perhaps a tad bit less.
The gel coat isn't the best in the world, but who cares. No matter where you get the wing from, you'll have to paint it.

I got mine from special carbonfiber and have had mine now fore almost 2 years. So far love the look of it! There were 2 issues on the spoiler. 1st was 1 of the 4 holes were not drilled right. it was off by 1/4. I used a heat gun for help mold the wing and to help let it rest a bit better. it brought the hole a lot closer but wasnt quite there. So i too a dremel and a tiny bit took some metal out and helped the fit a bit. the 2nd issue was the driver side of the wing was a tiny bit to low so sanded it down enough to where it would clear. Other than those 2 issues wing looks great!

my trunk is open on this one

Here's what mine looked like. IMO, it didn't even look good. I'm really particular about my fitment and paint, so I should've known not to buy a cheap part. I really don't think you could've made this wing look good. There wasn't enough material on the wing to sand it.
