Anyone using this eBay F36 spoiler?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Painted-BMW-...wAAOSwI-BWFeWD

The price is great and it looks good (I prefer a lower profile spoiler). Saw a few mentions of it on the forums but not a whole lot of pictures or testimonials. Anyone using this?

I just got one in Jet Black for my Glacier Silver but haven't installed yet. It seems to be a perfect fit and it's very light. I'll post pics after I install.

Not installed yet but here's what it looks like. The paint match was not great for the mineral white but I imagine it'd be better on single stage colors like alpine white.

EDIT: I got impatient and installed it. It comes with a roll of 3M adhesive tape, 1cm thick. There's enough tape to run the length of the spoiler 2 times with plenty of extra. The fit is perfect. There really is only horizontal alignment to do as it fits flush with the slope in the trunk. I'm all thumbs and I was able to do it pretty easily with some assistance from a friend.

Did you buy the M aero kit and have it painted or did you somehow order a mineral white M sport model?

Ok. What is the problem with the color matching? I was going to order one of these from spoiler nation but keep hearing problems with matching the mineral white color and am debating just ordering a black one instead.

It's too white. It's not a horrible match but if you look at it, it's not hard to tell. The body shop that painted my M-Sport bumpers didn't match the car perfectly either but it's much closer than the spoiler.

If you want it done better and you're willing to pay, get an unpainted spoiler and have a shop paint match it to your gas cap cover.

I like that idea, but still might go for a contrasting look. Thought about buying an unpainted one and then buying some 3M carbon vinyl to wrap it in.

I took the car out and actually in the light it doesn't look so bad haha. You can get a CF one for an extra $50 bucks on eBay I think.

I don't think vinyl CF wrap is going to look as good as just getting a CF spoiler. Here a are links to a couple.

Doesn't look right

Maybe it's just the photo but from the rear view , the spoiler just looks weird. It looks like a wrong (too small/short) spoiler was put on the car. Looks good from side view though

I got mine from Bav Auto and had it painted a local shop. I didn't know about the below sponsor at the time I ordered but if I had, I would probably have gotten it from them since they will paint it.

Here is mine. I bought from Ebay unpainted, then had IND paint it.
They are the only ones I trust with my painting needs. I did gloss black like the diffuser which I bought directly from IND.
