Genuine boot lip spoiler

Hey kids,

After a genuine boot lip spoiler if anyone has one collecting dust. Preferably in OBP or Urban Grey Metallic but doesnt matter as i have paint. Dont care if its STI or just normal one.

Let me know.

Failing that, if anyone has a bootlid in Urban Grey Metallic thatd be great.

(Bought a Chinabay lip spoiler and im not happy with it so hoping to turf it)

What's wrong with the chinbay one out of curiosity as I've been looking at them!

Bad finish, ripples all over.

I bought one, didn't like it at all and sold it to someone else who wasn't willing to fork out the extra $400 for a pre-painted genuine Sti one, and bought one of those myself.

Oh and not to mention the one particular ebay seller never mailed out a replacement LED light which broke about a month after the guy I sold it to put it on his car, and it was still like 6 months under warranty.
Ebay seller claimed to have sent the LED replacement, I waited 6 weeks and it never came, emailed him about 5 times after and he refused to respond. Another reason to not go ebay, at least not for one with an LED light.

They're farkn stupid.

Got delivered in the wrong colour even though i supplied a code when asked. The spoiler has threads to put screws into it but you have to drill holes in the bootlid. Theres no template or measurements given for hole spacing ect, you kinda have to guess where it should go. Its near impossible to thread through the screws from inside the bootlid as the re-inforcements and stamping doesnt give you much room. What they should do is provide studs you can wind into the wing, then guide through the holes and put a nut on through underneath the boot lid. Its a nightmare.

They give you double sided 3M tape but i dont trust JUST that holding it on.

If i can get an OEM one, ill go with that, but in the meantime ill have to treck to bunnings and see if i can get studs. Ill make a tempelate for drilling too and then ill see how it looks done up tight. The wing is fine, its just the installation thats a prick, and also the mismatch. Lucky the seller agreed to a refund.

What are the genuine STI ones worth painted?

Is there 2 different ones? Non-STI and STI? Ive seen NA's rocking them bog standard, like an option?
