Default Cost of adding a spoiler to a 5th gen?

If anyone has added a factory spoiler to a 5th gen, What was the cost of adding a spoiler to a 5th gen with parts and labor and paint?

go to your dealer or find one on a crashed car in the junkyard.
My bet is over $500.

Theres the price of getting the spoiler and then probably about 200-300 to paint, but I think its worth it. 5th gens dont look very good at all without the factory wing.

WHAT?! 5th gens look better w/o any wing at all! Hey former V8er, what color 5th gen do you drive? I'm trying to trade my NBP trunk w/ factory spoiler for a stock trunk that came w/o factory spoiler. Wanna trade? If not, I'll sell ya the spoiler.

I've seen OEM spoilers go for around $100...You can install the spoiler yourself. If you look, open your trunk, and you'll see spots for where you need to drill holes and put your bolts through to hold your spoiler in place

One suggestion if you do get a spoiler..... since you will have the third brake light integrated into the spoiler, there will be no need for the HMTBL in the rear window, right? So, you might want to do what I did..... since the Type SH Prelude comes standard with the spoiler and subsequently the LED 3rd brake light, they have a solid rear speaker deck cover with no HMTBL in the rear window. I had the spoiler installed at the dealer when I bought my car new, then I removed the HMTBL and ordered the cover from the Type SH (it was around 80.00 I think), and it looks sooooo much better without the frivolous, unused, and rather dumpy looking 3rd lamp assembly in the rear window.

Well worth the 80 bucks in my opinion.

Well, yeah..... you get the point.

How many people are parting out the rear deck of their Type SH, though?

Know what I mean?
