Duraflex M-1 Speed wing Fitment?
 
I've been searching for a Mazdaspeed spoiler lately and i'm just about to give up as these are impossible to find in canada. So i've been looking at the duraflex "m1" spoilers and im a little skeptical, i did some research on here and people are saying that the fitment on the fake ones are disgusting, but that thread was 10 years ago. Has anyone had any experience with these? if they're bad, any suggestions on what to get?

Any help would be appreciated here :D

there’s not a single positive thread on that wing though. You can find the real thing though, but you’re going to pay a good price for it. Which why does it have to be in Canada?

Those brackets do look like the ones i see in the knockoff M1 spoilers online, i mean the fitment looks good on it. I don't know if i should just go for it and try it out, i have a lot of body work experience but again I'm not an "Expert" and cant just change the whole fitment of the spoiler if its waaay off. I found a couple of used mazdaspeed spoilers (I think they're genuine?)

this ones cracked

this one looks decent

Im still deciding if i should go for the ebay ones or try out the knockoff one. Let me know what you think, if im not asking for too much :dunno:

Not a single person ever said fitment is good

You’re not asking too much, but you didn’t answer my question. I can try to help you kind one, but I’m not in Canada and it likely won’t be found there either, or the likelihood is significantly reduced. It might take a little time, or maybe not, but it really sounds like you’re just itching to spend money asap even if unwisely buying a known unsatisfactory product.

You do have a point there, It doesn't have to be in Canada now that i think about it, I was just looking for something local to avoid the shipping costs and not knowing what the hell i'm going to be getting. I've been looking at this for a while and that's about the only thing i can find. If that link you sent me is that M1 wing, then i wouldnt mind getting that at all, but i can't tell for sure.

That's my thread linked here. I don't know what model wing I have as it came with the car, but it is a knockoff and fitment is good. However I don't have much faith in the brackets long term, but hell maybe they've been on there for 10 years already. If I was in your shoes I'd spend more and get OEM.
