Vortex gen help

Does anyone have the BLOX Racing Vortex Generator
from lancershop? If so, hows the quality and paint?
Is it similar to the OEMs from MRs?
Tnx

Ok so Im stuck again. I want to ask, is the ABS black like a flat black paint? I have a graphite grey and I want a black vortex gen on it. The rexspeed black has a tarmac black paint. I was wondering if it would look ok, or would it be too glossy for the GG!
I want a black paint that doesnt gloss too much. I was wondering if someone has the M2 black vortex gen from lancershop? Thanx

Just get the Rexpeed one in GG & then buy you some PlastiDip and do it flat black that way if you want it to be the color of the car you can just peel the plastidip off

I've had 3 different brands of Vortex gen's Get OEM or Rexpeed the others are crappy and don't fit right.

I actually have the blox abs one and im really satisfied with color and fitment. The black is a bit glossy but nothing crazy and fitment on mine was about a 9.5/10 and I only paid $45 brand new so can't beat that and I personally don't like the vortex generator to be the same color as the car that black compliments better on any color car

Op I've never seen blox vg in person.if you need black like flat black,buy it since it's cheaper and paint it the way you like.their site says its ABS black sprayed with clear coat.good luck.

Get a rexspeed and don't look back. Don't make the same mistake I did. Blox, amazon, and eBay ones are about 1/4-3/8" too narrow for the roof cap.
