I did. I got an unpainted one on Ebay. Painted it and put it on. Not that hard. The inside of the hatch has indents but I found out that they did not line up with the spoiler I got. Mine came with little strips that you tape down to the hatch that allow you to mark where to drill. I put locktite on the studs and nuts and used silicone to seal the hole.

I helped a friend of mine put his on. We had the template that came with the spoiler and found that you have to flex the spoiler to get it to line up with the template. We were not sure how much you could flex the thing so we moved the template in a little and then drilled the holes. Other than that, it was a piece of cake.

Got mine at RaceandStreet.com....installed it solo and it was a piece of cake. The templates were awesome but not all aftermarket spoilers have the same templates. Don't cheap out on a spoiler....order from Maggie!!

Yes, Maggie has them painted. My car is Graphite Metallic, which was only available for about 6 months during the 2004 model year. I called her since I didn't see the paint code listed in early 2004 and, although she was aware of the new color she'd never had one painted that shade. She apologized that it was going to take a little longer to get it for me, but when it arrived it was a dead on perfect match to the rest of my car. Like many have said, Maggie and RaceandStreet.com are just awesome!

Got and OEM one for the Inferno Red PT off ebay, used the paper template that came with it no problem.
The Electric Blue Spoiler came from Maggie already painted and it had the plastic insert template and that worked out fine also. installed it in the motel parking lot at her Cruzin Clarion show with my cordless drill in about 15 minutes.
