I like the look of the front OEM spoiler and have a few questions for the people who have had them installed.
Are there height clearance issues?, are they easy to scrape, do you have to be more careful when pulling into parking spaces or around lower curbs?
What are people paying for these (including installation), do they come pre painted?

I like mine a lot. I got it here http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=MorePartInfo&PartID=467923&siteid=214672&catalogid=4462, and installed myself. Very easy to install.
It barely sits any lower than stock. Now scraping isuue so far for me.

Looks great, really gives the car a more sportier look!
Did you get the rear spoiler too?

I put on an OEM M3 rear spoiler.

You had mentioned that you installed the spoiler yourself and that it was pretty easy.
I have a few questions.
1) How is it attached to the car?
2) If it's two sided tape, what type and where did you buy it?
3) Does the spoiler come with mounting instructions showing the correct placement of the tape, I seen some spoilers on other cars where the tape didn't hold after a year and it starts to show gaps.
Thanks for your help.

And how much did it cost to get it painted?

There are 5 or 6 bolts under the bumper that you remove, and then reattach them through the aero lip. You also use double sided tape (from Home Depot), strategically placed. I found a couple DIY's on E90post that I used as a guide.
I paid around $350 or so (sorry can't remember exactly) to get front and back spoilers painted. It was a little steap, but you kind of get what you pay for. I think now, Tisher sells these pre-painted, which would probably be the way to go.
Hope this helps...

Thanks for the feedback,
When I'm ready I'm going to look at the pre painted ones at Tisher.
