Ebay Seller for PAINTED M3 Lip?
To all the guys that bought the painted M3 lip spoiler...
What was the seller's name? There was a guy on there called "xenonspecialist", but the lip looks a little different to me for some reason. Maybe I'm just being a little paranoid.
Btw... has anyone braved through a Northeast winter yet with their M3 lip? I'm curious as to how it holds up with the snow and extreme temperatures.

Hey amadeus303,
I have the NBP painted M3 lip spoiler from "xenonspecialist."
I've decided not to install it and I was planning on selling it on eBay for $50.
Let me know if you would be interested. Where in the northeast do you live? I live in Pittsburgh, but I'll be driving to New York on Friday. So if you live in Pennsylvania, New York, or New Jersey, we may even be able to arrange a place to meet and I can personnally deliver it to you.

Howard and Supraken... you got your lips from "xenonspecialist" too?
And Supraken - have you braved a NY winter with it on yet? If so, how's it holding up?

The lip spoiler should hold up in NY winter...mine's been through the Toronto canadian winter and its fine.
Just make sure you tape it onto your trunk in the summer or when its warm....if you do it in the cold, the tape wont adhere as well and can peel

Viking asked, "Any reason why you decided not to install it?"
First I bought the “sabersport” (Unpainted $50), had it painted and installed ($75). Later I noticed a few less than perfect spots, one of them was right on top of the spoiler and although I seemed to be the only one who noticed it, it bothered me. My own fault, I should have scrutinized more before the body shop installed it on my car.
Then a few days later, one side became unstuck from my trunk. So at that point I decided to use this opportunity and order the one from “xenonspecialist” (Painted $80). It arrived, I checked and the paint job was perfect and it matched perfectly. Although they are both nice, they differ from each other in that the “xenonspecialist” one goes all the way to the edges of the trunk whereas the “sabersport” one is a little smaller than the length of the trunk. Unfortunately, I prefer the “sabersport” one with the slightly shorter than the trunk length.
So I removed the “sabersport” and did not install the “xenonspecialist” one.
The cool thing about the “sabersport” one that I have is that although it does not have any 3M tape on it anymore since I removed it, it is painted and it has maintained its bowed shape, matching the curvature of the TSX trunk.
So anyway, they are both up for sale for $50. However, I will only sell the “sabersport” lip spoiler in person since I want the person buying it examine the imperfections and decide whether it bothers them or not. If the person does not mind the imperfections, then all they have to do is to buy some 3M tape and install it themselves.
amadeus303 doesn’t live that far from New York. Since on my back to Pittsburgh on Sunday I will be stopping to see my uncle in Greenbrook, NJ, I’m going to try to meet with him and show him both of them. I’ll let you guys know if he buys one of them from me. Which ever one he does not buy will still be up for sale.

Mine just came in Friday from Xenonspecialist. I put it on yesterday. Love it! $85 shipped. I set it as far back on the trunklid as i could. My girlfriend helped me measure and mark off the spots with light masking tape. I cut backing of the 3m tape from part of the middle to stick that down, and started peeling from each side. Then I put the 2 sides down and as i pulled the backing toward the middle, I was pulling back on the wing to keep the curve then stick it down. I did this all the way until I reached the middle.
But twice I had to pull it back up since some parts were a little too straight for me
It was only about 55 degrees out when i did it, but it's really stuck on there. Maybe I'll take a hairdryer to it today. Wish it came in last week when it was 87 here in Chicago!

I got mine for $85 shipped as well from xenon specialist. I couldn't find any flaws on the paint job.
Install was pretty easy with the help of two friends. The spoiler bows perfectly with the trunk and looks great.
The only thing i don't like is the gap on the sides of the spoiler where you can see the tape.

I noticed that too at first when i was testing the fitment. What I did is trimmed the tape off with a sharp blade before installation.
