M Performance Trunk Lip
Can the matte black rear lip spoiler be painted to match the body paint? I think it is already painted matte black so I want to make sure it can be sprayed over?

Yup
You sure can. Just take it to your body shop and they should be able to hook you up. I've also heard of it being installed with 3M tape or betalink adhesive. There are a few posts in different categories that you can see what they look like. I've seen one from brandon@eas in the photo section I believe. That should give you a good idea.

Great. Thanks. Although the ebay listings are tempting, I think getting the OEM spoiler is a safe bet and not too much more expensive (found it for $150) and then need to paint.

Just to let you guys know, the ones on ebay are not exact replicas of the OEM M-Performance spoiler. They are smaller, and dont extend out as far. The replicas also have a slight sag in the center of the spoiler that you can see when driving behind the car. I have inspected both in person before coming to this conclusion. In the end, I am very happy that I bought the OEM

I agree. Had the replica on my car before the OEM one came out. As mentioned by others, it's not an exact copy. Now that I've seen the OEM one, I prefer its design a lot more. Also found the paint finish on the replica was a little wavy.

I'll probably hold off for a while on a spoiler.

Besides, as pointed out, the money being spent on the new car justifies spending some money on quality mods. If it was 6 years from now and you bought a used F30 for $15k, it'd be a different story. However, F30s are still new and they're not cheap. Not pointing any fingers here by any means, but I spend most of my day behind the wheel of a car and it never fails to amaze me how people can make nice cars look cheap so easily. I've seen a lot of cheap replica stuff on BMWs make turn them into rice rockets. Quote:

Is the OEM part available at the dealer to have them install?
