Look at some of the pictures posted. Black is a great contrast on the AW, especially with the black diffuser and black mirror caps. I'd go black.

I agree on the black. I have black on my AW and i think the contrast is amazing, plus it matches the black mirror caps and gloss black grill. I have had my spoiler installed for 7 months now and i have had zero issues with it. I used the tape that was provided with the item and spent over a half hour getting the tape on all of the edges and corners it has withstood every thing.

E$88 Failure
I rolled the dice and came up snake-eyes fitting it to a convertible. Here's my experience in easy bullet form:
Overall, I'm not mad, just a little disappointed that it didn't work out for me. The good thing is that this confirms that the E88 does need something back there to make it look good. I thought it looked incomplete without it. I guess I'll look for other options or pay out the a$$ for the OEM BMW spoiler. If anyone wants it let me know. |

Fit ment was spot on and the color matched spoiler just makes it look amazing. CF is played and looks cheap because it's not the real deal.

I don't remember exactly how long but it was relatively fast. I live in NY and it was less than two weeks for sure.

Got mine today. The car originally had a carbon fiber one (not sure if it is from this company or not) that was faded to fuck and back and put on with a butter knife (plenty of gashes to the paint). Looked into getting it resprayed and I'd be without a car for a few days and both places I went to said it would be wise to blend the two rear quarters so it would be about $1500. Got the old spoiler off, took it to a detailer to do what he could to get all of the crap the other owner did, and put the new one on this morning. Pollen is nuts today in Dallas, but I think it looks pretty good. Fits well and almost covers all of the damage from the previous owner.

Just ordered mine in black sapphire metallic (BMW color code 475). Same seller, emotors2000. I'll post some photos once I install it.
This spoiler is now selling for $93 instead of $88. It is listed as: 1-SERIES PAINTED ABS BMW E82 PERFORMANCE REAR TRUNK SPOILER 2013 128i 135i Ω |

I bought this one;
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/161293813332?...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Overall I'm thrilled with it. The paint and ship time was very quick and the fit and finish was great as well. I could have saved a couple more bucks from what I'm reading here, but overall I'm still pleased.

If you look at the buying instructions ~2/3 of the way down the page, you'll see they ask you to "note the color code detail in paypal receipt notes.box." And then under that line, you'll see them list the various color codes, including the one for Alpine White. Karl.

So... I had both a good and not-so good experience.
The good:
However, the color match (A51 Montego Blue) wasn't perfect:
Honestly for the price, and knowing the challenge of remote paint matching, I'm okay with the results. But I wanted to flag this, just so people have the right expectations - usually it's spot on (as many have reported), but sometimes it's not a perfect color match (mine). I think if I was doing this again I'd get a contrasting color like gloss black. Attached are a few picks of the install. A few things to note:
Karl.
