Unhappy Vendors, what's up with the lack of quality rep Performance Spoilers?

I mean really? I want mine painted and don't want to pay $300+ for a CF one just to cover it in paint.

All the painted ones that vendors are offering have a weak ass low kick that doesn't look anything like the actual performance spoiler, and the few that look correct are only CF.

I got my old one from a vendor that seems to have vanished off the planet, and that was totally perfect but now I'm stuck since he's vanished and I can't use the one off the old car since it was totaled and has already been sold off (I should have grabbed it but figured I'd start fresh)

Here's my old car with the rep I'm talking about:





So come on vendors, can we get a good non CF rep painted for us or what?

+1, the painted ones that are available just aren't as aggressive as the OEM, or even some of the nicer CF reps.

OP, where did you get your original spoiler from?

Is it just me or is the rear diffuser all twisted looking in the first pic but appears totally normal in the 2nd?

Why not just get the CF one and paint it the same way you would fiberglass or plastic?

because CF is hundreds more, and why pay hundreds more when it will just be painted.

Some people don't like the look of CF in certain areas of the car. With space gray IMO I would want the spoiler painted

Why get CF and paint it?

I understand that CF is lighter when compared to metal but compared to ABS plastic its negligible. So there is really no reason to get a CF spoiler unless you like the look of CF.

Unless you are finding CF style spoilers and they are not available in just painted?

correct it's an optical illusion from a late setting sun, uneven driveway and lens distortion.
