I may be down the body shop Friday to get some pic's. My spoiler will be on the car by then so I should be able to get you a better pic from the side... That is if you can wait that long....

For the price I know you are looking at..I say go ahead and get the ACS spoiler, then if it does cover any of the striping, you can have it retouched back onto the spoiler...it will only make it look even more so integrated...I LOVE my ACS Mini-Spoiler!!

I think you missed the part where he said the special 'one' he was after is already 'sold', it was already painted in the same color as his car so that particular one held special interest to him...In all honesty I admit he never said all that info...but that is why he was asking... I still think as nice as his car is he'd be better off to get an unpainted one anyhow so that he can be sure the paint matches....no sense paying for something 'extra' if you have to go back and repaint it again later...

Had a 97 Torch red that needed a mirror painted. I think there were at least 4 or 5 batches of Torch Red that year and that was a very short run.
All whites are not alike.
Get one in prime and have a pro get the right color batch for your car. IMO

Default Who is ACS

I love these low profile C5 rear spoilers and would buy on in a minute. But who is ACS and how can I contact them? I did a web search for ACS spoilers and came up with this thread and a company named AC Schnitzer whch spealizes in spoilers for BMW's.

send a PM to 98pacevette, Chris will be your best bet on snagging one of these VERY hard to get spoilers, he knows the 'right' people...Long story, best not to go into all that on why the spoiler is scarce....

Thanks for the kind comments, but all said and done there is no guarantee that any paint will match perfectly. I was willing to take a chance to save a couple $100 , and couldn't believe that thing was sold after 5 weeks in a matter of a few minutes of my interest Still I am curious if it would fit w/o disturbing my stripes
