advice for spoiler...

i just bought a 03 bby and the owner before me was 41 years old and didn't want the evo cf wing... so i've got an oz wing and i'm ready to order the evo cf wing, because the oz wing's kinda embarassing lol

so, where should i go to find the oem style wing with the cf? i want it to be painted, too.

should i just order a primered one from www.spoilerexpress.com ? they have a 3 year warranty. or i could have them paint it too, but i feel like the paint wouldn't match then, even though my car's garage kept n not sun soaked. i'm thinking about just ordering a primered one and going to a local shop and have them painted to match closer.

can i go to a dealer?

i just want the paint to match, and for it to fit, at the best price. i'd just install it myself.

otherwise, what do you think i should do? i want to order it tonight n hopefuly get it by the weekend so i'll be all set by monday.

thank you!

mm for a bby in good shape, no sun spotting and clear coat peeling on the cf like ehh 250-300, depending. i'd need to see pics.

how much i'm offering to pay for the evo wing right? not for my oz wing?

You will not be able to get one from mitsubishi because they no longer make them. Thats why they were giving IX wings to VIII owners for wich they warrantied the peeling and cracking wing.

eBay sometimes has nice real OEM wings, in addition to many fugazis.
