Just on a couple of things I saw right off the bat, touch up paint was $9.95 + $9.92 to ship, I can get it from my dealer for $6.50 + tax, the rear rubber mat for the back of the HB is $47.88 + over $25 to ship, my dealer gets what Mazda wants, 50 bucks + tax.
I guess people automatically think because it is EBay it is a good deal.

The MSRP on the factory Mazda rear lip is $450+install. It's crazy. That's why we install aftermarket spoilers on our new cars. Painted and installed in a rear wing is only $349, admittedly, with some profit in that. The rear lip is hard to find on the aftermarket, and costs more.

I think I could provde some spoilers for around $249 painted and shipped, if any is interested.

And you'll get better prices than that guy at my store. Everything is sold at Wholesale.

whatever spoiler it is, it's just piece of plastic + paint, it should nto cost more than $50. If I had $450 to waste, I'd go buy something worthy, not the spoiler......it has no functional value, cosmetically it might depends on your taste.

You're right about $450 being too much for any spoiler. However my painter charges $75 just to paint one - professionally! You have to be able to mix factory paint and apply a clear coat, and sometimes they require 2 base coats.

So a $50 spoiler doesn't exist. Maybe a $100 spoiler - unpainted.

I wish I had a reason to build value in the Mazda OEM part, but I don't. Most aftermarket spoilers are fine, but beware of cheap ones, they can and will crack or break.

I just wanted to explain why my spoilers cost more than that.

I'm confused.....$250 paint/ship for the front air dam??? For an 07 M3H. Or for the rear spoiler?


Heres another wacko...

I wanted the spoiler add on, but, $300 is a rip off, IMO.
