Getting an aftermarket fiberglass highrise instead of buying an oem one. Really wish I would have found a used one. I'm not sure if it is just the paint cracking or the actual spoiler. Plus it isn't close to factory quality. Has pits here and there, and the blade has casting marks, so it isn't close to smooth. However, I did get the spoiler and it painted for what it would have cost to buy the oem new..... I'm still uncertain if the price difference was worth it. Kinda leaning towards no. Other than that, letting the dealer work on it. Kinda nice when they wreck something and don't fix it until you say something. :\

If someone offered me what I have in my car, it will be gone.
You will almost always lose money on a car you buy.

Dont feel bad I bought a OEM one ( took of my low rise PITA) and the highrise fits like shiz...put 3m tape and cant get it to fit flush on both sides. So I put more tape.. and to get it flush I had to put like 2 layers of 3M tape and now I can see the tape...crappy looking ..taking off to try again..

I didn't install mine myself, I took it to the dealer for paint (only place that could paint it the soonest) and let them install it. It fits fine, the spoiler just looks like crap closer up.
