Be careful with those cheap spoilers. Alot of them don't take paint very well. I heard about problems with the aftermarket M3/M5 spoilers peeling and cracking.
true story - i was on the parkway and everyone was doin around 75, 80 except for this one car in the middle lane which was doing about 50, when i zoomed around him wondering what the problem was, i looked in and the guy looked like he was crying.. it was some hybrid car that he must have jus bought cause the plates were still stuck in the window!

i've heard of others putting this on their car instead of dishing out the full price at c-c-c.net for the oem bmw m3 or m5 spoiler

WTF does this have to do w/ the post?? On another subject, $69 for a spoiler? I say you get what you pay for-CRAP!
If my memory serves me correctly I believe this lip on the trunk is the same if not similar to the lip thats on the SEMA cl-s you can use that as a guide line. I agree with NSXNEXT you should check to see how well paint holds on.

Here is the M5 Lip spoiler...I did lot of reading about the other lip spoiler's and found that everyone liked the OEM BMW M5 lip spoiler better then any on the knock-offs. Apperntly there is some sanding and fill worl that has to be done to get the knock-off spoiler ready for paint and application to the car. Just my 2 cets

While the BMW spoilers outsell the replicas 10-1, so far, the replicas we've sold have not had any reported problems with peeling, etc., but that could be b/c the customer's paint shop used good paint and additives, but you never know.
I personally went with the BMW OEM spoiler (M5) b/c I feel you get what you pay for with this stuff... and $130 for a spoiler on a $30k+ car seemed worth it to me.
