Got the tracking e-mail, but no spoiler yet.

About the color difference, if you can only see it with sunglasses on, then it is probably not a real color difference. If the glasses are polarized, it might just be a tiny difference in the paint reflection. Polarized glasses do funny things.

My 300C shows a pattern in the side windows that I usually get only in the front of back glass with polarized glasses. And the plastic silver bits on the steering wheel have discolorations through my sunglasses that are just not there otherwise.

The color should match perfectly(without sunglasses on). If it does not, do not install it and please contact me.

Jeff,

Got the spoiler today (Monday 6-13) and the color is way off.

Magnesium pearl, but at least one-two full shades too dark.

Quality looks good, can't wait to get it on, but have sent you an e-mail asking instructions, I can wait for another one in the correct color.

Thanks for doing the group buy, I know they can be a hastle sometimes, especially on painted items.

Everyone needs to just hold onto their spoilers if they are the wrong color. I have to speak to the manufacturer and see how to handle this. So far it looks like the Vanilla and Magnesium are off. I would appreciate if people with other colors would chime in here and let me know if their colors match.

My UPS tracking # says delivery on Thurs - I have the Silver, and will chime in on arrival.

I don't even have a tracking number, but Wyckoff's web has said shipped for over 6 days now.

In the past, items have been delivered promptly from this vendor.

I just got mine in yesterday, the color match was pretty good (DLR) slightly darker than original but passable. The paint job was not as good, some swirl marks and orange peel on one end, unfortunately did not notice it until applied. One end of the spoiler did not adhere as well as the rest although I did strip the paint of wax and clean it with clay prior to putting the spoiler on. Overall pretty happy with the spoiler, the looks and construction is great, as was said earlier no instructions and the paint application seemed rushed (they could have buffed out swirls and you get orange peel from either bad prep or bad technique).

Here are some pictures, car is a bit dirty but you get the general idea. Could not get a good picture of the orange peel and swirl marks but will try later.
