My dad ordered one from me and installed it on my mom's inferno red GT. It came painted factory colour and matches perfectly. I'm going to be doing the same with my silver GT next spring. I can't speak for the ones on eBay, although I have seen those ones too. I would spend the extra cash and get one from an authorized dealer because it is painted by Chrysler and should match perfectly. Just my $0.02.

I got mine from [lnk]//www.spoilerdepot.com/[/lnk].Cheaper than OEM and a perfect match on color. The install was easy , the scariest thing was drilling the holes.

I have the MOPAR one.
Less than $300.00. Simple steps.

Cut the templates
place them on the car and hold them with tape.
Drill holes
Place spoiler and tighten nuts.
Cover the nuts with included covers
enjoy.

I added:
Once templates in place, put the spoiler on top of it to make sure holes line up and you have some room to play.
Paint the inside of the holes with "touch-up" paint to minimize corrosion.
use a vacum cleaner to remove all the shavings on the bumper.

about a 30 minute job.

remember: Measure twice, drill once.

Ian

Here in Canada they retail for $363.00 and we sell them for $325.00. Not sure of the US pricing.

Got mine from the dealer for about $176 unpainted. The install really isn't that hard but I would recommend taking your time since there will be metal shavings all over the place which can easily scratch up your paint. I also took the advice given on the PTDIY site and taped up the seams between the window trim and the body. Also be very careful not to drill to deep on the drivers side since there's a wire harness just beneath the holes.

Actually the toughest part was just getting up the nerve to make that first dent with the center punch.

Aloha,
Mark
