M3 style lip spoiler on Ebay ...
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/15141/picture_005-a.jpg"></center><p>I followed the advice on AW on getting lip spoler from Eric (he sells them on ebay) and was wondering if anyone had the same experience.
The spoiler I received from Eric had paint scratches (almost looked like paint was eaten up by something) on the part that faces rear of the car, you can see it in the attached picture. I called Eric and was told that the paint imperfections are from spoiler being attached to something during painting process (Eric said that all of his spoilers are like that and that noone ever complained). Also, when you touch the paint, it feels like a sandpaper. Eric said that this happened because the spoiler was repainted from a different color. I was also told that if i decide to return the item, the $17 shipping charge (even though $5.50 mail postage stamp was attached to the box) wil not be refunded.
Can anyone comment on that?<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=796348959 3&category=33638">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=796348959 3&category=33638</a</li></ul>

DO NOT do business with eric.
i got mine from him and it was like your spoiler but worse. i sent it back and he sent me another. this one was bent and it has many imperfections. i told him about it and he didnt care at all. i put it on my car because of was tired of all the crap. mistake. its gotta come off soon because it looks terrible. the ends lift off the car because theyre bent up so much. get the real thing. if you dont want to spend the money, dont get a lip spoiler.
