Painted lip spoiler from eBay
 
Does anyone have experience with Painted lip spoiler on ebay?

Are those ones from Taiwan usually decent in quality?


This lip spoiler is made from ABS so I'm not too concerned about fitting issue.

I thought I'd check first here.

TIA

Not that bad of a deal considering they paint it for you too. Fitment might be WAY off though so take that into account as you said.

lip spoilers like are pretty good from ebay; they are pretty simple

Even you match the colour code, it will never match exactly. Also I believe most of them just simply spray paint it and let it dry, at least I can tell mine is like this.

Ending up paying another $100 to get it done properly.

i bought one of those when my spoiler got stolen all the time a few years ago

quality sucks, paint sucks, dimension sucks. OEM spoilers have smooth round edges, and these fake ones have sharp edges, not to mention u have to bend the curvature urself, which usually ends up looking horrible. and they lack the gloss or top coat that makes the oem spoilers shiny.

ps: lol the spoiler on my avatar when it was taken was when I had the fake ebay ones

My experience for the E46 BMW M3 lip spoiler echoes the above poster. But I also just bought one to go on my 2010 MB C300, which fits perfectly but the color was off. As the spoiler for my particular car is molded to fit the shape of the edge of the trunk it fits very well. I ended up having to ask a body shop to repaint it because the difference in color drove me crazy. Lesson learned, next time buy the version thats unpainted. :fullofwin:

it's for 2011 C250

I've seen $139 for painted, $80 for unpainted

I guess I'll get unpainted one and save $60 and take it to bodyshop

thanks

They seem to be pretty good actually.

I've bought a painted spoiler off ebay.. Must say, the color matching is damn good.

What did you end up doing? I bought one off eBay and the color is off...not sure if I wanna get this one painted or find one locally (and doesn't cost $500)

i've ordered one painted off ebay, the color was off. next time i ordered one, i had them send it to me unpainted with $80 discount and had it painted locally for $100 for a perfect color match and they even installed it for me

babyshortie 05-27-2011 11:32 AM

Where did you go for paint? I was quoted $180 for paint!

I found out proper paint code wasn't listed on ebay listing,
Seller said white on MB is probably won't match.

So I'm ordering unpainted one...

and I've been lazy and my gf is trying to kill me for not ordering for 4 month.. lol
