I would fit it first, but the push pins are brittle and may break on you...mine did, but luckily I had spares.


I don't know I got paint here-www.automotivetouchup.com/


it's been a very good match for silverstone..

 

Thanks..I was actually thinking of going this route and have somebody spray it.
did you spray it yourself or had shop done it? How much was the labor?

 

I just sprayed it myself, outside, so it got a little dirt on it. It's down low and after a light wet sand and buff I'm quite pleased. The color looks spot on too!

 

It should cost in the neighborhood of $100 to paint, depending on your location and the color being matched. You could order touchup paint spray can online from one of the places that offer that service. You'll need primer, color, and clear coat. You'll need to first sand it perfectly smooth. Then primer then sand then primer then sand. Then color. Then clear then wet sand then clear then wet sand.

The spray cans are going to cost around $35. Then materials like sand paper and blocks etc, if you don't have those. This is a good project to learn some of these skills on.

Tip. Test fit and modify until good fit BEFORE you do any body or paint work.

 

$389 is a good price. I paid $346.04 for my pre-painted OEM Silverstone front lower spoiler plus shipping on 12/04/15. Total delivered cost was $377.95. It sat in the box Honda until 2019 when I had the front bumper refinished and the spoiler mounted.

Thanks...I googled and around $100 is generally the price. Went to a local paint shop and he quoted $175....I didn't have much time just went it with. I think a overpaid a bit but it's okay since I bought the spoiler lip for a good price ($60).

 

I had $140 in paint supplies, in adhesion promoter, 1 qt catalyst primer, 1 pint base coat and 1qt catalyst clear, plus my time prepping lip, sanding primer and sanding and buffing clear.

but I also had some small touch up spots to do. Plus I'm getting better at painting, so I was glad to do it and reinforce that I can use a spray gun!!!! Plus extra paint if I scrape the lip!!

So with labor involved $175 isn't bad, plus if they are on the hook to match your color.

 

getting closer to installation...got the 3m double sided tape today...just put it on...the lip will go on tomorrow..and then I'll see how well the sliver I sprayed matches.....the thin rubber gasket will help hide any small differences in color.

Note- the double sided tape isn't strong enough to close the fitting gaps to the fascia...this is a clear 3m double sided tape...

 

Nothing I have been looking. They thought there were two in one of the warehouses but unfortunately they were mistaken.

 

Looking good!

Be sure to use same tape technique used for rear spoiler. Start with only the center exposed. Red protector pulled back enough to use as pull tabs. Hold in place, make sure fit properly. A helper would be ideal.

Then peel back from center, while checking piece is still in correct spot.

Then apply pressure to one section at a time. Hold for like 30 sec to ensure proper bond.
