Side under spoiler help

I need help, I somehow managed to scratch my side spoiler. My first question is, does the side spoiler comes as a standard accessory for the 4g tl's? Do you think I should get it painted or should I just buy new side skirt? And last question is in this bottom pic if I were to buy these side skirts do they come as a pair or just single and is it the same style skirt that comes with the car?thanks for all help in advance.

get them painted, and get a pair. I had to replace one of mine. you will not save any money getting them unpainted, plus the paint may not match. Not VERY easy to put on, but doable. I replaced mine myself.

Why get them painted and also get a pair? How will I not save money?

I went to a body shop to get an estimate on repainting a scratch on my front spoiler. The guy looked at it and said "you're probably better off getting another spoiler." I said "yeah, but how much would it be to get it repainted?" and he said "about $200." I said "yeah, well a new front spoiler will cost me $300." He still told me "yeah, well it's probably just better to get a new front spoiler still." Talk about a body shop owner not wanting to make money!

I think he means "Buy a new one that is painted" as opposed to "New, not painted".

When I priced them there was not much difference in price for one unpaintd and buying two painted. There is a much diffeence price for body parts and over the counter. Plus you run the risk of a shity paint job. Check both prices and compare for yourself.
