paint issue: you should DEFINATELY have a body shop paint it for you, if you want it to look right/good. also, if you have no idea on how to install it, just let them do it also. now as far as price goes...... well that all depends on where you go, and who you know. my buddy just got a wing put on his lancer, and he said it came out to about $100 for paint and installation. so i guess that can give you a ROUGH estimate, but dont base it on that.
ebay issue: one of my friends bought a evo7 wing off ebay for $150. he paid about 5 weeks ago, and still nothing. he's pretty pissed. they are not responding to emails or phone calls. so i have nothing good to say about that.

yea i got into the same kind of situation as .L.'s friend. i payed a shop for it and it took them about 7 weeks to get it and paint it, plus they scratched up my trunk and didnt do a good job instalin it. i guess the moral of the story is make sure u like the people who instal it.
But the key is, it makes the back of the car SOOOOOOOO much hotter!!!

hey i got an ebay wing, got it for 100 bux and shipping was like 25, so 125 total, got the wing 5 days later in perfect condition, everythin was great, it had all the necessary bolts and screws too. the wing came primed and i had it professionally painted, but i installed it, the install was VERY easy, just screw everything in and the holes line up perfectly to the OZ wing, that is if u have an OZ, if not then have a shop install, cus u gotta drill holes and that will be a problem. and oh ya, i got the wing painted for free cus i got rear ended and the shop that fixed my bumper painted my wing when he went to repaint the bumber. but a bout a week before this i went to a shop and they wanted like 230 or something so i said screw that, then i went to another sho and they were gonna do it for 150 but i ended up putting it off and then got it done for free.
i give the wing a 10/10, no problems, shipped fast and the ebay member was very nice, looks sweet, only downfall is that too many civics pull up to me and rev and want to race... one guy in an old accord pulled up to me and asked me how many horses MY EVO was pushing, lol, good times
ill post pics soon, just lemme find my digi camera

ya no prob, ill take some pics later today
bt do u have an OZ? if u do it lines up perfectly with the oz holes, although u can drill 2 extra holes in your trunk for the thrid screw for each side, i only used 2 on each side
if u got an ES then u'll need to drill, ill post some pcis to help u out but i recommedn that if u have an es then let the shop whos painting the wing to install and drill it for u, or have a shop do it just so u dont drill wrong or whatnot
