Smile Question on MSpeedWing

I'm a noob. I'll admit when it comes to cars, but I am learning. And just recently I decided to add a spoiler on my car.

A MSpeedWing Spoiler.

But question is, whats the difference, and whats better version? Fiberglass or Carbon Fiber?

thank you

neither: buy the authentic MS wing, you'll thank me later.

The replicas don't fit as well as the original, they usually come unpainted, and the brackets that support the wing are cheaply made. When all is said and done, it ends up not being such a great purchase.

I have the authentic MS wing and I love the look of it. Worth the extra $$ to get the real deal.

I have an authentic MS wing too and paid for it even though it's crazy overpriced.

What color is your car?

I think the real ms spoiler should be partially made from metton (under spoiler), and abs (spoiler)

I saw a good replica on the net. Brakets are easy to get if they are not very good.

Buy the quality part. I have dealt with the cheap **** in the past when I installed parts for friends and it is always nice when you have something that fits the way it is supposed to on the first time.
