Picked up diffuser, splitter and spoiler

RDKing2 · 03-25-2015, 07:31 PM

Picked up my parts from the body shop today, hope to install this weekend.

Painted the splitter all one color since I could not decide on the pieces under the side grills. Probably going to do a black matte wrap on the top edge there.

The painted MP spoiler is replacing the JB one I put on the car. When I pull the JB off I will put them side by side for comparison pics and post in the other thread.

You mind sharing what you paid? I'm thinking I'll get the splitter, and have it done all body color, like you (same color, too)

Looks good! Can't wait to see some installed pics. If you don't mind what shop did you use? I'll be needing one when I go for the diffuser later down the road.

The paint was $650 for all three pieces. Still more than I wanted to spend but that was the least expensive place I felt comfortable with. I am okay with the cost. Got a pretty good deal on the parts including shipping and the MP rebate made it even better. Was "The Body Shop" in Simi Valley, the guys I dealt with were nice. I could tell a few places were not even interested in doing the paint. They just want to do collision repairs only.

Thanks for the info. I'm pulling the trigger sometime soon to get the rebate.

Did you paint the middle section of the Defuser gloss black or leave it? I can't tell by the photos

RDKing2 · 03-29-2015, 01:04 AM

Gloss black. Not a fan of the matte finish on any part of cars. Had to work today and only had time for the spoiler removal and install. Little disappointed with the paint as it appears to be a tad to dark. The JB spoiler is a better match. Funny the cost of the spoiler, paint and shipping is less than just the paint I had done here. They had the original spoiler in hand as well to paint match. Plus side, the MP spolier fitment is better.
