Default Looking for a OEM front Spoiler

Hey guys,

I know some of you are very motivators and you change the front spoiler for a Power Agency spoiler (lol) so let me know if you have the original with not scratches! I will buy it from you

Has anyone noticed that the black version is $199, however the "paintable primed" version is $829! $630 must include a lot of primer! Is the black one a different non paintable material?

Does it need a special tool to remove? I think they sell a tool to remove it too.

Remove two screws on either end, pull spoiler off (multiple tabs in slots come out). Reverse process to reinstall. 10 minutes at most.

I've got two - both painted, both original black. Swap it as needed, and my guys spent a lot of time tweaking the silver to get it right (lower parts get different formulas than upper).

But yes, the standard black CAN be painted, however, you need to find a very experienced professional paint shop/painter to do this, some do it really well, others....might cut corners or results may not be 100%.

Just make sure they know how to handle plastic/rubber.

Good luck.

No local dealers on Miami with parts departments? - you could drive over and pick one up for $215 or so using your PCA discount. Put the savings in your EP fund.

The following two dealers sell the front lip for about $185 + shipping.

I didn't think about that... I though it was going to be 3 times more $$$

I also had my previous lips painted and all were the standard black. Curious how much the aero kit lip would cost...
