Default New Rear Lip Spoiler Installed (Pics & a Movie)

I recently bought a rear lip spoiler from forum member red rock.
It looks awesome! Paint matches perfectly and it fit great, too.

The weather is great, so I washed my car and dried it. Then, I wiped the back of the rear bumper with rubbing alcohol to remove any wax. I centered it up with the tail lights as a guide, marked the outer edges with masking tape, peeled the backing off of the 2-sided tape and had my son help me apply it to the car. (I recommend 2 people do this, because you need to make sure it stays exactly where you want it. That tape is really strong.)
We put it on nice and straight.... Here are the results.

That looks pretty cool. I wonder if it will also help to keep driving dust from building up around the tail lights?

Did it come painted to match your car?

I like it. Subtle and clean looking - unlike the usually hideous ones I see on C4's.

Where did you get it?

Yes, as far as I know, all colors are available.

Yes very cool, I like it. Just noticed your wheels are very similar to what is on my Ford Falcon.

the difference is that a friend made it , painted it , and shipped it , without charging another friend for it, and isnt on here trying to sell it. why is that hard to understand?
