Q: Can I get a spoiler for my car like the factory makes?
A: Depending on what type of car you own, there is a good chance you can! Most of the spoilers we manufacture are factory replicas, so you cannot tell the defference between ours and theirs. If there is no factory style spoiler for your car, a custom style spoiler may be the answer.
Q: Can I get a painted Spoiler for an older car?
A: Yes! Our painting facility is the largest in Northeast Ohio, and is set up to paint spoilers in factory colors as far back as 1991 in many cases. You provide us with the color name and code, located on your car, and we handle the rest!
Q: Will the paint job on the spoiler match my car?
A: We guarantee that each painted spoiler will match the factory paint color. Our computerized mixing platform paint formulas to match factory colors for all manufacturers. However, cars may fade with age. Therefore a very slight difference is color may occur. In fact, if you look at your car very closely, you may notice that different parts of your car may have slight variations in color, assuming your car still has the factory paint. For example, the drivers' door may not be the exact same color as the trunk. This is normal.
