Real or fake Mazdaspeed spoiler?

I've asked for pictures of the stamps under the brackets. Help me identify please. I've never seen one in person.

Looks legit. The brackets on some of the knockoffs are really janky.
The underside of the spoiler base also looks correct.

But uh why are painted surfaces sitting on bare concrete and getting filled with scratches? :P

Unsure if it is real, though it appears to be of decent quality (especially in the brackets, which usually have casting flash on knock-offs), which is the first indicator that it may be. Are you intending to sell it?

Are you buying these off a guy in San Fransisco? If so I probably know him, and I can confirm it as being legit if it is in fact the same person.

Agreed, looks a bit off to me from the ones I have seen.

Sorry for reviving the thread, just want to get an opinions at first glance.

Would you be able to tell at first glance if this one is genuine? Im going to check it out tomorrow and look for the number under the bracket, but just in case you can get a clue with these photos.

Edit/update: turned out to be a genuine spoiler luckily enough!
