Yes. I took both of those photos of the red and black LSE. The red LSE was when we attended Mania with LLSOC in 2003. That was the reveil of the 2004 LSE. I took that and many other photos of that car. The black one was taken at our local FLM dealer.

Fortunately, that is not me in the background with the socks and sandals. I was more to the side when I took that picture. I don't recall who that was.PM80 said:What was up with the teva's and socks? LOL. Sorry man had to bust your chops I do have a real question thought do those use the tape to mount or do they have bolts?
Anyway, the LSE lip spoilers adhere using 3M tape. They are not bolted on.

Ken, glad to see you got these items in. I'm seriously thinking about adding one to my car. With my Magnaflow tips, chrome 5-spoke wheels, and monochromatic look, the car looks very sporty and the lip spoiler may be a good addition. Just yesterday, I received the paint I am going to use to paint my satellite radio antenna, and the cans contain way more paint than I'll need.
Is it conceivable to paint the OEM Lip Spoiler with these spray paints (acquired from paintscratch.com on your suggestion, BTW.)? My car has the super-duper extra-special extra-cost tricoat Ceramic White (F6).

You would be able to paint the lip spoiler with the paint from paintscratch.com. The surface of the spoilers are similar to that of the bumpers. The only issue with tri-coat paints is that the variance in the paint colors could vary more than other base coat/clear coat paints. Your best bet with Paintscratch.com is to send them something from your car so that they can match the variance. This way you would be getting a spot-on match. Paintscratch.com even recommends this process on their website. I sent them a painted grille once to match up and they did a fantastic job. This way if I ever need to order more they have the variance code specifically for me.ToddG said:

Thanks Ken -- good to know. I'll see how the paint from paintscratch matches my finish when I do the satellite antenna.
I provided the VIN to my car when I ordered the paint. Does the VIN take into account the paint variance? Hard to see how it could. Perhaps the VIN is used to make sure the paint code is right (?)
