ASM rear window spoiler... pics please

im interested in getting a rear window spoiler but im worried how the new paint on the spoiler will match the rest of the car.
does anyone have an ASM with the spoiler? if so post pics and let me know how well it matches in person.
thanks!

I didn't even know there was dry and wet install. I know that in some DIYs people say to use soapy water and then squeeze it out... But I thought there was no difference in the vinyl.

Silver, welcome to Acurazine! Check out our Search Engine on the site and use "roof spoiler" or "silver roof spoiler" and I'm sure you'll see more than you bargained for!

In my signature, you can click on the header to take you to my Garage, where you'll also be able to see my roof spoiler.

I had no problems matching the color. Now if you had a white TL, that would be a different story.

that looks good and they make it seem so easy. Not saying that it is but it's giving me confidence to try it this spring. I wanna do the gloss black so it matches the sun roof. I think I wanna order it soon. Not sure from where though
