I came across this, can someone confirm its good as the original?
Some were going at $189 or so, its the VRX spoiler?

Painting should be from $100-150 I believe.

There are some on ebay that offer to have them painted for you but the problem is they could not be a 100% match with your car.

does it mean that it would be better to get the spoiler in first before i get it painted here... or do u guys think it would be a better idea on asking them to paint it then send it here...
anyways how much do u guys reckon the installtion would cost? i doubt it would take more than an hour?? and how much for pinting ...
$60 installation
$150 paint?

Its better to just grab the spoiler and bring it to someone to paint as they can exactly match the colour of your car.
Yes there is no doubt they may have your colour code, but lets not forget the amount of light and weather conditions our cars been through may have changed slightly over the years. You wouldnt want a slightly different shade for your spoiler would you?

It is actually a generic Sports/AWD/Verada spoiler.

That's a good price and an extra $100 for painting is fair enough. It's pretty easy to install it so I recommend you DIY. Just don't forget to mask the area where you will be drilling to avoid accidental scratches on your paint.
You cannot trust sometimes the auto shop this job, like in the case of my brother-in-law, they installed it way too far so he drilled another hole just to make it look good. Just my $0.02.

I have the exact same spoiler at home for my car, (to be painted and installed) and I have the installation details from Mitsi's if you want them. Its just a paper template.
