So guys I went ahead and purchased the prepainted Ebay Spoiler by bcmoto in Taiwan.
Cost around $120.00 shipped. Paint was good. the top surface of the wing isn't perfect. You can tell it's fiberglass in the sunlight, but...i mean for a small piece, it works. Again, the paint is good; but then again It was GPW, and white is fairly hard to mess up.
My core complaint is the fitment on bottom. Depending on how you line it up, the middle and sides of the spoiler is a little too thick and needs to be sanded down. About 2 hours worth of sanding and pre-fitting.
Mounting bolts are included, but the pre-drilled holes don't line up to where the stock holes should be. And also, it doesn't use studs like the OEM spoiler to drop into your drilled holes.
since there is so much ambiguity in where you can place the wing, it gets a little difficult to keep it straight. And especially with the 3m tape holding it down; once you commit to a position, it's pretty much on there for good. If you take it off after you apply it, you might have to buy new tape. For those of you really wondering about whether or not tape will hold the wing down...Trust me with the REAL 3M Moulding Tape, it's real hard to pull off and theres no forseeable amount of turbulence that'll rip it off. (and if it DOES rip off, it's just an excuse to buy a new one?
)
Past that, It went on without too much of a hitch. Fitment on the bottom is the MOST important because you have to get the tape to meet the trunk surface.
All in all, I saved over 300 bucks going this route. But if you have the money, I think buying oem would be a little less of a hassle. If you're on a budget, this is the way to go!

Veilside Replica
Not sure i should get it purely because of the fitment....and the fact that its from Duraflex doesnt make me feel any more comforted. Suggestions?

i like the concept...and it is cheap but not such a part where the quality would effect the asethetics too much

Fucccckk they are all the way back on page 14 or whatever i will find it give me a while.
Again it looked good on BB but it was on his front bumper, and it didnt look to bad but when i got, it looked so rice and i would have to drill into my car to it didnt come with any materials either. And from the looks of where the holes were in it (without any materials) it would stick out far from the car unless i drilled in deep. So i thought maybe it would be good as a form of side skirt, close to the back wheel but never got around to it. Im not very experienced so im not about to go drilling into this car.
