The Scorpion spoiler arrived today and I am very pleased

The Scorpion spoiler is one of the only ways to go, in my opinion, but I can't help but get Dodge Stratus vibes.
 
i really want it but im worried on the cost of having it repainted with the prep i feel would be involved. seems like it would turn into a $1K upgrade and theres better ways to spend $1K at the moment

I think with the protection a vinyl wrap or, perhaps even better, a cosmetic PPF can offer is definitely worth it. I'm thinking that the body panels and paint on these cars isn't the most durable and should be protected.

For those that own the scorpion spoiler. Did it impact fuel economy at all?

I just did a 700 mile loop to southern Oregon & Cal coast on the pacific coast highway, then back to the interior through the redwoods. I5 sustained speeds were 75-95. 101 was 45-65. Redwoods through avenue of the giants 25-35. Averaged 29.1 mpg on 91 & 92 Octane for the entire trip.
FYI: Temperatures ranged from 41° to 101° so a/c was about 1/2 the trip.

I'd say that's pretty good and next to zero difference from without the spoiler. Excellent detail as well. That's pretty much what I get in the summer when driving long distances in Alberta. One time I got 33 mpg, but was driving downhill most of the time .

I got mine from the dealer so no shipping cost. Probably a bit of a markup though (some are significantly more than others so ask multiple delears)

I’ve actually heard from a guy who does lots of paint correction, ceramic coating, and detailing. He stated that Hyundai/Kia uses really good paint He’s a Mopar guy, running around with a $70k Challenger SRT and says their paint is shite.

I'm yet to come across a manufacturer-specific car forum where the members DON'T say their car's paint is crap. :rofl:
 
I saw your post on the fb page too, looking good.
The paint quality on mine was solid too.View attachment 69208
Hi, your Scorpion Wing looks fantastic. I’m trying to locate one in Australia, fortunately I’m not in any rush because I’m unlikely to take delivery until 2023.
Can you help with the part number?
My Stinger will be Ceramic Grey (I believe Ceramic Silver in Canada/USA). What colour is yours?
So far I have: J5872-AP000-AB but not sure if this is the correct colour coding.
Please help?
Below is what mine will look like.

I had one delivered in the ceramic grey last week, its in the backseat waiting for its appointment with the paint shop- my car is the Ascot green. It delivered fairly quickly, so they must be in stock here in the US, because I tried a few months ago and the oirder was cancelled with no ETA of stock- it was $380 delivered. Tuscani Customs (Korea) has the Ascot green wing, but they want over $1k for it

I posted all the part/paint codes on the 1st page. Attached is my receipt from the website I ordered from (US).
(J5872-AP000-C4 S) is for ceramic silver decklid/wing. Just have to reuse your bolts from the oem decklid.

Cheers, thanks for confirming that park number. Your car looks awesome.
I’ll keep searching,
none of the Australian parts distributors stock the wing because the Scorpion is for the American market only.

Could always reach out to someone stateside and have them ship it to you if you can afford the shipping and want it that bad, a few years back I had to do that for the Valve Index (VR headset) for one of my friends in Australia. He had just started working at a game studio and even the studio couldn't get one. I had one at my door and shipped out to him as soon as he asked me.
 
Thanks, sorry to hear you can’t order it directly. Maybe see if one of the US parts websites can do a special request to AUS.
