I bought the same one but it came already painted from taiwan. You just tell them the color code of your car! Seemed much easier than painting myself. I wish it covered the full length of the trunk. It is off like an inch on each side unfortunately. Fits perfect on my friends 00 V6 Honda Accord Coupe.

This is the only picture I have but you can kinda see it.

Dang I'd be so mad if I paid for the lip and it was off an inch off each side. I paid about $15 for mine unpainted unprimered but it came from Cali. Took about 3 days to get to me in New England. Mines only off by about 1mm each side

Fyi dont get the m3 lips anymore. Get the m5 one, its a bit bigger and taller and it makes a big difference. Friend had an m5 one compared to my m3 and it looked much nicer.

It looks exactly the same only difference that its taller. It may seem like nothing but it makes a difference, small details add up.
