Anyone bought after market wings?

Like this for example:

http://www.carid.com/2007-mazda-rx-8...ml#fullInfoTab

If so can anyone tell me if they are decent? because they are much cheaper than say buying it from the dealer.

Also on that topic, has anyone changed their spoiler from stock to after market? preferably from stock spoiler to mazdaspeed spoiler? is it hard? can I do it myself or would i have to get someone else to do it for me?

On the same topic, anyone recommend a good site to use for after market body parts?

Thanks.

Well the first question is what are you buying the wing for? I have both an adjustable APR Performance wing, and a racing beat low speed wing. But if your are only doing this because of appearance than well have at it, just know it probably wont fit perfect until you adjust it a little at that price, and you will need to get it color matched to your vehicle.

But again before you spend the money you need to ask yourself why you need or want this wing, because if its for performance then well you get what you pay for, and that includes crap fuel mileage and change in handling if this wing isn't a perfect replica which at 200 dollars I doubt it is.

Just ask yourself why the real deal costs more.
Also, working wings do break at high speeds. That's why the real ones cost upwards of 1500$ most of the time.

Those are hella cheap for a mazdaspeed spoiler. Maybe not the real one, but it's up to you...it's your money and your car.
