He hasn't been on the forum in 6 days, and that's his one and only one post ever.

That seem reasonable, assuming it's painted well and the part has proper fitment. What color, and did you go for it?

This would be for K23, liquid platinum. No, I have not gone for it yet.

So far so good. Although the pics are really small, and have that watermark.

I'm thinking gloss black against my Moonlight White, since the rear windows are totally tinted black. In other words, buying it in Moonlight White is almost a guarantee mis-match in color, but black is black is black.

What's your color scheme, bat6wc?

Right now its pretty much all K23 Liquid Platinum, with a midnight grill, blacked out valance and some dark wheels. I probably would get it color matched, but I think I am actually leaning towards not getting it. Ive had the stillen and the ravspec one. The roof spoiler combined with the trunk spoiler and shark fin, made the profile view of the car look too busy. Im probably going to hold off on this.

These things aren't rigid.

No its bendable. So is the stillen but this is much more pliable.

More research... seems they've been selling stuff like this for over 4 years now, for all kinds of cars. Hmm.

Yes, and I dont even think these are vehicle specific. I am guessing they are universal with maybe 3-4 different lengths.

Yeah, I really want to try that piece out, but in gloss black... not so much as a "roof wing" in the traditional sense, but as a trim piece that integrates with the black plastic inserts in the roof channels. See what I mean?

Yea. Maybe they will give us a deal for two.

I emailed them from the contact form in their website last week... no response. Thing is, I tried to find their website this evening, and failed. I know I was there last week, but I didn't bookmark it. The site seemed incomplete. Wonder what that site was? Either way, doesn't matter because they didn't respond, and anyway you were able to contact them through their eBay account.

If you want to negotiate a small group buy, I'm in.

[edit] Their website was in the post from a couple weeks ago. (Doh!) http://www.extremespoiler.com/

And yeah, the website is very much incomplete. Lots of "lorem ipsum", which is just filler.

There website seemed a little half-a**ed bc I think they just created one quickly after realizing there was some small demand. Ive been going through eBay only to contact them and they respond within 12-24hrs. Would you want it just unpainted then?

No, I'd like it painted in gloss black. Not overly particular on the exact color black that is... just something gloss black. The intent rolling around my brain is to look at this as a trim piece which loosely matches the gloss-black of the B-pillar; (which I think is a clear-coat over gloss black vinyl, but I'm not sure.)

I suppose a very light metallic component would be OK, but not flashy like Cadillac Black. That would be just wrong.

If I'm not happy buying it now (pun), I'll just turn around and sell it here to someone else who wants to give it a go.

Here's a rear photo of the car, to visualize where, what and why:
