mohawkboom is an unknown quantity at this point
a Painted and Installed OEM Spiler is $630CAD.. Dayum.. about $140 is reasonable for a good paint job..the one for $85 will probably a fast slopjob.

Cheers

why get an OEM spoiler, get something that'll make your car stand out...never buy from the dealer once you drive off the lot...

dm1preppy, check out Kar Rite Solar Solutions on Victoria, they do painting and install of JSP spoilers...they are good

i already have the stock spoiler, my girl bought it for my birthday - just needs to be painted and installed - i don't want anything to flashy....i use it for work as well (my car) and it has to be somewhat conservative
