Just ordered an OEM front sport chin spoiler for my 2012. Downloaded the instructions and was looking them over to decide if it was worth $140 to have the dealer put it on this.



Like this, only A54 red and a lot cheaper from my dealer:



It doesn't look *too* bad to install I don't think, just thought I'd ask if there were any things to look out for. I've put on the splash guards myself and I see this spoiler uses templates for drilling, 3m tape and the click-lock pins.

Thoughts?

 

It didn't seem too but I got estimates from $25 (cash) to $65 to install it. I ended up getting it installed by a reputable bodyshop for $61.

 

where did you order from?

 

The dealer that I got the car from in St. Louis Mo. Not sure if it was a repeat customer discount or what. $299 + tax, ordered Tuesday, came in today, pick it up next Monday or so.

 

It's really weird pricing. Graphite Shadow, Malbec Black, and maybe Obsidian Black are usually $100 more for the exact same part. I paid $329, which I was told was the dealer cost, for mine (graphite shadow).

 

If you are somewhat handy and have the correct tools, it's easy. I installed mine myself a couple weekends ago and it took me a little over an hour to do.

 

I checked a couple of red parts and they were chearper than the white ones I bought prior.

 

Is this front spoiler one peice that runs all the way across the front end or is it 2 seperate pieces under each foggy. In others words is the piece in the middle under the grill part of the spoiler?

I'm thinking of installing one. Does the spoiler look right with the rest of the lines of the car? Or does it look out of place unless you put on side skirts (which I don't wanna do) Can anyone post pics from a side and front angle?

 

For some reason, the moonlight white always cost more. maybe it's the tri coat, pearl thing. But you got a great deal. Installing shouldn't be too hard, but if you can find an independent shop that can do it for under $100, I would do that.

 

It's all one piece across the front of the car. I think it looks integrated with the front and carries some of the lines down to the bottom of the front of the car giving it a little bit more of an agressive look.

 

You car looks awesome! Let us know how easy and tools required. I just got my spoiler too.

 

Damn what a sweet bright color. Never seen a red S. Looking good even being stock lol.

Front lip is gonna change the entire front up.

 

You mind sharing the install instructions?

 

Here's a thread w/ pics using the templates, it's for 07-09 journeys but the basic install is the same. It's a fairly simple install although I just removed the rubber weatherseal that runs on the top of the lip, it kept curling under when I tried to fit the spoiler and was a bit of a PITA, had it on for about 5 months w/ no problems. The templates make it an easy DIY for the most part.
