yes, take it elsewhere. if they haven't gotten to it, it is not a priority to them.
small stuff like that is typically painted immediately, or we are told to wiat until we paint another car the same color (then it gets lost)..

if you strap it to a dyno after putting a spoiler on i guarantee you wont get better results. you may be able to go faster with better aerodynamics, but the engine makes the horsepowerQuote:

Naw, only thing I'm interested in is making my Aveo more fun than it is (dead stock) and helping others have more fun along the way by sharing the changes.:wav:
Steve
good goal to have
well, its at a chevy body shop in the city where I live, my brother-in-law is a tech at this dealer, he talked to the body shop manager and they are going to paint match it for half the cost of all the other paints shops in the area. Hopefully it wont be too much longer. Next time I need something painted though, the toyota dealership I work at, we have a sister dealership in another town with a body shop, I will send stuff their next time.Quote:

Paul have you been tracking your millage? I really would like to know if your mileage improves with a spoiler.
Ok, i got the spoiler back last wednesday (8 weeks in the body shop for paint) they only charged me $50 (lets just say its a $50 paint job too) i installed thursday. had no effect on mileage at all. I have pics on my phone but for someone I cant get them to send to my email. As soon as I can get pics up, Ill post in this thread.Quote:

Now all said and done are you happy with the looks of this spoiler compared to factory? Personally I want to see more views before I commit to buying this spoiler.
thanks, overall Im happy with the way it looks, its not too ricey with it being paint matched. Im not overly thrilled with the quality of the paintjob itself though (i should have taken it somewhere else). If I get a chance, I will try to get a few more angle shots of the spoiler later today.Quote:

Fantastic Pictures! I love the middle picture above. The spoiler looks really mean in that picture. Thanks for posting the pictures.
Thank you. I cant see the screen on my phone so I wasnt sure how the pics were going to come out.Quote:

Paul spoiler looks great and great color choice for the car too. I have a the same color on my sedan.
thankyou luke. i bought my aveo from our used lot at work so I didnt have a color choice, its ok though, if I had a choice I would have bought blue anyways LOLQuote:

no pictures anywhere... unfortunately, however, in the last month sice i posted on this thread, i attemped, yes attempted to obtain one of the "agressive" spoiler from s g car styling... it retails for two hundred bucks shipped to the states. three weeks after i placed the order the factory e-mailed me to say that my spoiler was being made because it was out of stock, still no order conformation, still no tracking number... after another week of waiting, and no response from the factory, i decided to cancel the order. just a heads up to others interested.
@ hatchbackhillbilly, I wrote to them and never got a response on price or availability. I love the look of that spoiler. I think are doing the right thing. CANCEL THEM!
i ran into a similar issue trying to buy a "factory" aveo5 body kit that you see in all the concept pictures.
yea... its what i ended up doing was cancelling... what do you guys think about BOTH spoilers off a vibe gt, like an 05.... i know it'll take some... massaging... but it' be hot, right? opinions?
i think i'm gonna try that, i found the pair of them for 132 a piece on carid.com... pictures pending the project
I did a search and found quite a few different spoilers on car. The one with the slot and center support looked the best and almost could fit. I am a bit reserved on the look, but it's worth a shot. At 132, it's not too much for a try. I have yet to put on my spoiler from Paul. The weather has not helped. We got April showers early and we have been slammed in the upstate sc.Quote:
