Default Looking for a lip spoiler?? Look inside.

I cant say enough about a company called Prestige Imports. I think it is a one-man company but he sells lip spoilers on ebay.

Link:

I paid $127 shipped for a painted lip spoiler. I am pretty sure it isnt OEM BMW, but you couldnt tell based on the fit and finish. Also, they are professionally painted and are flawless. The color matched perfectly. For the price, its hard to beat. Some pics to illustrate:

I wasnt paid for this endorsement. I just want to give credit when credit is due.

Default not bad, when you got the spoiler was it a nicer plastic?

did it bow easily or was it a bit harder to flex it around your trunk lid?

Nice, definitely not OEM BMW, the angle is much greater than the BMW one.

Default It was in a long plastic bag that looked like it was meant for the spoiler

And yes, it was relatively hard to bend around the trunk.

Default i got my spoiler from them and i hate them!

the first spolier i got had drips all over it. terrible paint job. i sent it back, they sent me another, and this spoiler has small dimples in the paint, AND the left side of the spoiler is bent up and out of shape so far, it over-powers the adhesive and wont stay on the car! I talked to Eric from Prestige Imports, and his response was "go to the dealer and buy one". I guess i just wasnt so lucky with them, but i wouldnt recommend them to anyone. so, i still have that jacked up lip spoiler on my car, with the left side not sticking. Im going to see if i can take it to a shop to have them heat it and press it back down...
