If you do pdip your spoiler, please remove it from the car BEFORE you do it.

Just buy the oem spoiler. Plasti dipping it white will look terrible. The pdip white will be way off from the color of your car and will look very tacky.

...the whole point of plasti dip is that you can do it, and if you don't like it, you can easily remove it...that being said , just try it and see if you like it...who cares what other people like.

It could be done either way, but I would remove mine if it were me. But I have no idea if that is an easy task to perform.

I have MW and I plasti-dipped mine until I got my OEM spoiler installed and I liked how it looked, if you take your time doing then it will turn out fine!

Plasti dip doesn't even look that bad if you apply it right. It can be super smooth and you can make it glossy to make it look more like paint...and you DONT need to take the chrome piece off before plasti dipping it -__-

Don't cover all the surrounding paint with tape, make sure you leave about 1-2cm of paint uncovered so you can peel it off and it'll give you a perfect cut at the spoiler.

Yeah same where I live, I ordered some white off of Ebay, fairly cheap! Personally I would do black rather than white with the chrome spoiler, but it's up to you!
