Default SS spoiler

Ladies and Gents,
I'm wanting to add an SS spoiler to my Z. I'm sure that folks here have done this before. Any advice you vets can give me? Anything/anyone I should stay away from when ordering a spoiler? Thanks for all the help!

if you buy a used one make sure the seller packs it really good and insures it in case the corners get chiped/broken in transit.

^+1 OEM is the way to go. All the other aftermarket ones just dont have the right lines and dont always have the correct fitment. They might be 'close' but you know when that counts....

I bought mine from ebay (PM me if you want the seller) and I couldn't be happier. OEM LED brake light, one piece design, installation hardware, great fit! Also, if you add $75 to your order they will paint it for you with factory matching paint (provide paint code) and it looks great, perfect match, actually looks better than my 6 year old paint. All of this for $245 shipped to my door, actually, only had to pay $228 since I had a paypal coupon. I will try to get pictures this weekend. My car is not a show car but I keep it in very good condition and well maintained and the spoiler exceeded my expectations.

An OEM spoiler is gonna cost you a arm and a leg and that's if you can even find one. If am not mistaken I think they are discounued. Mine is an aftermarket. The only thing I didn't like is that it lifts kinda high.
