There was no spec sheet, but it feels the same as my note PC.
So, may be around 2kg.

Can you install it yourself, or does it require a body shop?

Did it come painted?

Thanks!

The rear spoiler came with painted.

I think the PN will be different depending on the colour like some other optional parts.(Sorry, I can not write the red rear spoiler pn here to avoid troubles in Japan)

I will bring this spoiler to my dealership this weekend, they already promised me that they could install this spoiler with the same installation fee as the normal dealer option rear spoiler.(3500yen = about US$30)

On you site the price is listed at 6800 Y, or ~60USD.

It also states it will be much cheaper in the USA.

Under $60????

I have just changed the statement to "may be much cheaper".

I bought this part through other person who sells the Mazda export parts in Japan.
According to him, he could not buy the part in Japan so he imported this part.
So, this part was shipped from Japan and then shipped back to Japan. And, of course, some comissions have to be added in Japan and Europe(U.S.?)
So, if you live in outside of Japan, I think this part should be much cheaper.
