Ok im looking into getting a oem spoiler from this site. I want to get it prepainted but i have some concerns:
1) I have had the car for about 7 months and i am worried that the color might have faded so that when i put the spoiler on it wont match. I live in Chicago if that helps.
2) How hard is it to install myself. I dont want to take it to a shop. I know you have to drill holes and i am worried that water might leak. Where do i drill the holes? Can any dumba$$ install this themselves?

Thanks

 

If the car is only 7 months old; I doubt you should have any concerns about matching the color. The install is easy; just do a search in this forum and you will find lots of information.

I agree. I know a guy with a TL that had his spoiler installed after about the same abount of time and it's still perfect.

Also depends on the color. I had my OEM put on 14 months later on my red and it looked fine. Don't worry.

Doesn't your TL have clearcoat? With CC, fading is not a problem. BTW, let us know what you end up with, how the install goes, and how it looks. I'd like to do the same.

 

Mine according to the UPS tracking will arrive on the 17 of May. Bought the Factory spoiler from Tim.

I'll lets you know how it turns out.

 

TLWiz has a spoiler for sale... it's in Laguna Green Met.. Send him a Private message, see if he still wants to sell it..
