For you all that are getting it unpainted, what kind of prices are you getting to have it painted locally? I just checked with a shop I've used in the past for some body work and they want about $90 
Also had them give me a quote for painting the black plastic portions of my a-spec kit and they want about $430, double
Long shot, but anybody know a good paint shop in the Baltimore area that does good work and has decent prices? Going to have to shop around a little apparently.

I had the opportunity to see one in person yesterday and it just confirmed my opinion even more. I owned the JDM one, seen Allons and Brians car with the Sarona, and now the ATLP. ATLP is better fit from tip to tip, perfect contour and just the right amount of lift. Definitely another quality product out of ATLP. This is basically my extensive review if you care to read:
JDM: Owned this and is a decent buy "for the price" and that's pretty much it. There is a 1/4" at the edges, and the contour of it does not sit flush with the rear glass but its not that bad either and IMO there is not enough lift/stance to it to make a bold statement.
Sarona: This spoiler picks up where the JDM lacks. Better fitment overall, but still has that gap at the edges, but not as pronounced as the JDM one for sure. Better lift and better fitment on the rear glass compared to JDM. This spoiler makes is "beefier" according to Brians words and he's right and hence makes more of a bold presence compared to JDM.
ATLP: This spoiler takes the cake and reason for that is because it was designed and molded for our TL, and it shows. The fitment goes right to the edge of the glass perfectly. The countour fitment is impeccable and duh obviously, it was molded to our car.. was there any doubt? LoL.
Now here is the differences between the Sarona and ATLP and this is where it comes down to personal preference.
ATLP vs. Sarona: Both are quality looking spoilers. I dont think the JDM should be even compared here because its just not in the same league. The Sarona has more of a raised look to it and more linear in its appearance. The ATLP has more of a smoothened out and sleak look to it, which makes it look like a add on factory option. Not too overbearing and not too under done either.. just tasteful and right. However that said, both spoilers look good and are a great addition.
I'm not hating on any spoiler, just trying to be as honest as I can with my review. If ATLP did not exist, I would get Sarona hands down.

Alright guys, here is the breakdown.
Checked with my paint shop, but they will need a more accurate number of spoilers per paint code. So I don't have an estimate of the painted cost yet, as it will depend on how many will be painted, and the amount of different colors.
As far as the non-painted, primered version, it's going to be $215 shipped in the con-usa for everyone on the pre-buy list only.
**To purchase these after the pre-buy please contact Marcus at HeelToe Auto, or Phillip at 604Racing for Canadian orders, our two official dealers at the moment. =)

Please do not PM me if your shipping information, as it's hard to track conversations between people since my PM's fill up.. E-mail me at mike@acuratlparts.com and include the following:
Contact information
Shipping information
Username and number on list
The non-painted ATLP spoilers are ready to ship!
For those interested in a painted version, I think the paint is going to run about $50 or so per spoiler. If you are definitely interested in a painted spoiler, please include in your e-mail your paint code.
Any questions, you can reach me at 818 746 6997. Thanks for hanging in there with me!

What if we are on the original list? I sent Mike an email but he hasn't got back to me yet. I just don't want to lose my chance to get in on the pre-order.

Sorry guys for the delay. Had to pick up the tips from the port Friday and shopped around for pricing for the spoilers all weekend.
The painted quotes are coming in from about $90-$110 which I think is a bit too much. This is for prep, sanding, primer, paint, clear-coat and final buffing. In my opinion, it's going to be a much better bet getting it painted locally, as they will be able to match the paint a bit better. BUT if you absolutely can't do it locally, or don't trust anyone in your area I can have my shop do it, but as mentioned, it will fall into that price range. I tried to work out numbers with them but they won't budge.
As far as ordering for Canada, yes, all Canadian orders must be through Phillip at Revspot. ONLY if you are on the pre-order list, I can ship them directly to you but remember we don't do retail anymore which is why only those that were on the list before we went wholesale/R&D only can receive them directly from us.
Sorry this has been confusing, we're in process of uploading our new site so everyone is going to be confused on where to order from.
Pre-order list - Order goes to me. (I know I'm backed up on e-mails. I most likely received it and will get to you!)
US orders (not on pre-order list) - Marcus @ HeelToeAuto.com
CANADIAN orders - Phillip @ Revspot.com
Hope this clears it up.

For you all that are already have them and are getting them painted.....are you getting the whole thing painted one color? I was actually thinking about getting the underside painted black (or flat black) since I have ASM and wasn't sure how the lighter colors would look. Probably not worth the extra money but figured I'd ask.
Mike - I'll wait for your response to my email but I'll probably just have you send me an invoice for the unpainted version. Catch up on those emails man!
