I've done a search and found that for the 06-07 sedan, the best way to go for a front lip spoiler is to order the 03-05 sedan part and modify it to fit via minor dremeling.

However, my color, "sapphire blue pearl", was apparently not available in the 03-05 sedans, but it WAS available on the coupe. So if I buy the 03-05 sedan lip, I would need to get it painted to match. If I could buy a coupe spoiler and could modify it to fit, I wouldn't need to paint it.

So which option is easier:
1) Buy 03-05 sedan chin lip, modify to fit AND get it painted to match
2) Buy 03-05 coupe chin lip, modify to fit (is this possible?), no repaint necessary
3) Buy 06-07 coupe lip, modify to fit (is this easier than #2 above), no re-paint necessary

Door #1? Door #2? or Door #3?? Whichizzitwhichizzitwhichizzit???

BONUS ROUND: Is "Eternal Blue Pearl" (03-05 sedan color) close 'enough' to sapphire blue pearl for chin spoiler use? In other words, would a repaint REALLY be necessary?

i'd choose option 1...

bonus: ...we've done a comparison between the 03-05 Eternal Blue Pearl vs 06-07 Royal Blue and there was definitely a difference...

edit: not as far off as i originally thought, but the i'm sure the fitment would be an issue...
