Default Rear Spoiler on ebay

Any of you guys purchase one of these? I'm thinking about finally getting one, just seeing if anyone has bought one of these instead of going through Luke for it. Pretty much looks like the same thing, just don't know how well the quality is.

Honestly the Thai companies doing these are getting really good at it. I ordered a similar product for my last car and the paint was spot on to the OEM red even with the gold flake in it. You can't even get a local paint shop to paint an OEM unit for $118. I'd give it a shot.

That spoiler doesn't appear to be the OEM spoiler, which I believe is a little cleaner looking.

Could you please provide some pics? They only show one bad angle on the auction, which worries me. Sometimes I think I'd like the spoiler, sometimes I don't want to mess up the already clean lines of the car...

Hey appreciate the imput, I just went ahead and bought it. I just went with the primed one and going to get it painted to Raven. I'll post some pics when I get back home to put it on.

After looking over the pics longer I cancelled my order and went with the more OEM looking style, just liked it a little more than the one I ordered. Already cancelled the payment and bought the OEM style one.

bringing this back up...looking to purchase a rear spoiler...

does anyone know if they use mounting studs or just 3m tape? I have asked the seller multiple times with no response. I want one with studs.

I have seen where it says in other adds for the same spoiler that "it comes with hardware, if applicable."

It is a generic ad.....just like the generic pictures.

I bought the painted flush-mount spoiler off ebay over 3 years ago and it's been great. Be careful when you're drilling the holes for it. Don't press too hard. And you'll need a hole saw attachment for the under-side, where you access the mounting nuts/bolts. I may also suggest a better 2-way tape then the one they come with.

It's not bad, but it looks a bit out of place.
