Rear Spoiler
Where is the best place and with the best price to purchase the C5 Corvette Painted SLP Rear Spoiler. I want it painted Mil. Yellow and ready to put on. I found it unpainted for $229 with free shipping. I just think it may be worth another $100 to get it already done. Who sales these painted for us? It's for an 02 Convertible. Send me an e-mail to rbbuddy@***.net or just PM me if you have or know.
Thanks

I suggest you get it unpainted and match the paint yourself at your favorite body shop. RPI sell ones that are painted. I ordered mine from them for $ 388.00 plus shipping, but the color did not match when it arrived 4 weeks later.
I contacted RPI and they blamed it on my car color having faded or yellowed.
theirs was a brighter white than mine.
I am going to have to spend more money to have it repainted.

Try RPI Design. Top line quality and top line customer service. I ordered mine SLP spoiler from Josh and in Torch Red. It was a perfect match.

Now you guys have me scared. You know I called around and got some pretty good quotes on painting it for me. I think I'm going to take your advice and buy the un-painted one. It's $125 cheaper anyways.
Thanks Guys

I'd certainly check with RPI Design on the spoiler. They painted a couple of engine bay components for me and they matched perfectly.

Been thinking about this again myself. Had one before and loved it. Long story short, It got ripped off.
Anyway, they have one made of fiberglass and the other one is the OEM material. The painted OEM material is $388 and the other is not painted fiberglass for $399. Which one would be the better one to get?
