Non Carbon Fiber Spoiler???
It seems like every spoiler I find is carbon fiber. I am looking for a slighty bigger/more aggressive spoiler that I can paint to match the body color. I have found plenty I like but non that are primed ready for paint or already color matched.
Greatly appreciate your help.

you can paint CF same as if it was fiberglass or plastic.
Just buy one you like and bring it to a body shop to paint. what is the issue?

If you go that route I'd highly suggest doing something cool. I've seen underside of Spoiler left unpainted, thin edge left unpainted to its very subtle, etc.

When buying a spoiler for my summer car I was sent the more expensing CF version by mistake. The company said I could keep it without any additional cost so I did. When I brought it to my local bodyshop that had done work for me before, they said they would not paint CF. The reason was the gel coat that was applied from the manufacturer needed to be sanded off and there is a real risk of damaging the carbon fibers in that process.
Happy to hear any thoughts on that. Thanks
