Default Suggestions on THIS Spoiler ?

I have been mulling over getting this spoiler from Mid America for my 2003 AE. My questions are about quality and fit, plus the color-match....especially for the unique AE paint.

Anyone have this unit and have opinions please chime in.

Thanks ahead.

Barry

For 500 bucks you might as well get the whole rear bumper from Specter Werks for a little bit more which already has that molded in! You'll need to have it painted anyway

It's a nice spoiler, believe there was a GB on it recently from a different vender.I like the one that mounts on top like Tyler was unable to bring to market, however never considered the tape showing.... How about a nice Carravaggio??????
Did you ever receiver those pix on the license plate bolts I sent you?

Got one a few years ago when they were only 200. Fits/looks great, and is secure. Mine had to be painted, so was cheaper. I still crave the seamless look of the Spectre-Werkes rear fascia, and may eventually go that route.
