It looks great but did you strip the chrome before painting? Reason why I ask is because the place that did mine (twice now) never removed the chrome, and it peeled after half a year/year. It's peeling again now (corners and where button/camera is, and I'm about to toss it out and just buy a stillen spoiler to replace it.

No I didn't, but it was painted the same way as the front Grill, Which was painted gloss black and it's been holding up well for 1 year and a half.

Looks nice, you should get the CF diffuser to go with it.

For the bottom, instead of getting the diffuser, im wrapping the bottom section in CF...
yes it is 20x10.5 all around on 275/30/20. im sitting on D2 racing coils.

i had to roll and pull the front fenders a little to avoid the rubbing. other than that.. no problems.

As far as ride, i have the coils set at medium dampening, so it does get a little bumpy.

I've seen people banned from other boards for grammar and spelling not even as bad as this. It is very impressive.

Nice work, guys. I took the vinyl route as well. Did gloss black to match my car's wrapped window trim, emblems, grille, and "diffuser".
