Ordered mine yesterday through CJ Pony, supposedly shipping out on Friday 15th! Craig Edwards from CDC said that they will indeed fit the coupe and vert....we'll see.

What CDC is offering is a spoiler NOT a wing. A wing has space under it for air flow on top and AND on the bottom a spoiler has no space under it, it sits on the trunk surface.

Very good to hear they now say it will fit a convertible! Iniially they were not sure. They said the trunk lids were a little different coupe to convertible.
Can you take some pics of your install process and how you got the oem spoiler off with its full length 3m tape?
If you plan to have it painted, where will that be done (dealer, bodyshop) and how much to get it painted?

Not sure if there will be any pics, one of my good friends owns a body shop so he will be doing the tear apart, paint, and install. He has been doing my custom stuff for years. Not sure on the cost of getting it painted but he usually hooks me up with the "good buddy" deal.

I don't have the spoiler. I was considering it. A local shop quoted me $250 for paint.

I ordered my CDC spoiler yesterday and have asked several body shops for quotes for paint and install. I've gotten two estimates back so far and I was shocked by the amount they are charging. I also requested an estimate from a privately owned body shop, but he hasn't gotten back with me yet.
Regional (North Texas) collision center chain:
National collision center chain:
I believe in paying a fair price for value received, but for god's sake the spoiler was only $330 retail. I was really thinking more in the $250 range for paint and install. Is that an unreasonable expectation? Any suggestions on where else to look?

my local body shop is going to paint and install it for 75 bucks plus tax.
I have given him somewhere in the neighborhood of 40,000 dollars in business(not sure how much profit he made off that) over the last 5 years though from myself and several family members/friends I've referred personally.
however, the part that might help you is the fact that he said the stock spoiler only calls for 1 paint hour. i told him this spoiler is a few inches bigger and he said that won't actually add much to the time at all. maybe another half hour at max but that a quote for 2.6 hours is outrageous. he said it will probably take between 1-2 hrs to install as they will paint where they drill to prevent rust and also seal the holes to make sure water does not get in the trunk.
