Hi guys... I'm sorry for not doing a complete search before posting this, but I am at work and kind of short on time. I damaged the lower right portion of my front spoiler today, and I was wondering where I could buy a new one. If I can get one already painted (my car is black) I might be able to put it on myself and save some money. Is this a fairly easy job? Who has the best prices on these? It looks like I will have to have a whole new front bumper, is this correct? Thanks in advance for your help, you guys are great.

do you need the whole bumper for the aero lip?

those are probably your best options

Thanks for your reply! all I need is the very bottom part that bolts on to the front bumper. I need to post a picture tonight so you can see what I am talking about. I think my car has an the upgraded body kit (appearance package?). It is a GT. If I can find one already painted that would be great. Thanks again

both of those sites will sell them to you painted.
Yup, you need the front aero pkg. Check with both of those sites and see if they can get one to you quickly.

Hey thanks a lot for the help guys. After doing a good search here in the forums I found a good source on ebay, and I found a good tutorial on replacing it. This website rocks! Now to decide if I should remove the bumper to replace the air dam or try it without taking the bumper off.......

No one suggested the for sale thread here?

Hey Jedi, they really sell them painted? Do you know how well the paint matches? The reason I ask is because someone where I work has a C5 Z06 and keeps it in really good shape despite driving it quite extensively. One of his tricks is that he has a spare front bumper/nose and will swap it out for the one on the car whenever it collects too many chips, dents, etc... He then refurbishes the one he just took off so that he has a clean one ready and waiting. I was thinking that I might do that for my car in the future, but it would be convenient to start out with a bumper that has already been painted.

Cheers
