ar15fonsi, it looks like you got what they call the "10 sedan" style lip which is a little different than the tm3 which kota and I purchased. The "10 sedan" style looks good too! I am very impressed with this seller's paint quality and attention to detail getting the paint exactly right. With all the pics I've looked at, they all look like a PERFECT color match!

Got mine today, it's currently attached to the car with masking tape so it can get it's shape...so how did you guys apply it? Do I just start from one end and work my way to the other end? I have to do it by my self, so...

Carwatcher, what I did is applied masking tape outlining where I wanted the spoiler to go after it was in the correct contour. I installed mine myself too and it wasn't that hard, just make sure that you mark where you want to put it, then peel the adhesive and lay it down.

Some pics of mine installed. I only waited about an hour for the spoiler to get it's shape. I figured that 3M tape is pretty strong, so...4 days and no problems. Again, perfect color match.

Well in other news, Im getting mine replaced since the one that I got was the wrong one, and not only that the seller actually shipped the wrong spoiler, but they worked with me very well and they are sending me another spoiler.

Looking good, do you have the same color as my car (SEC)? Good to see another cat in my color

No, mine is MDZ. I actually liked the spoiler you got in those pics you posted, but good to hear the seller is doing an exchange.

Color match is perfect, better than I could gave done with the car sitting in front of me...impressive for under $40!

I had mine for about 2 years now (tm3). Still holding on very well. Color match was perfect. Looks likes it came from the factory. The (10 sedan) just doesn't seem to contour as well at the ends. But still nice.
