      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 horsepower

      Either you went to the Chuck Norris school of acting, or someone really took me literally, lol. I was kidding along the lines of putting on go faster stickers, stereos, etc.

      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.

      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.

      I dropped my spoiler off at a chevy body shop 8 weeks ago, i just got a phone call a few minutes ago letting me know my spoiler is finally ready, i will try to get it mounted in the next few days, so I should be able to get a pic up in the next week or two.

      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.
