fitment issues.. some replicas don't have metal mounts.. and even the ones that do have a different quality metal.. also replicas are made of heavy fiberglass.. im not sure about the genuine but when you have a replica you'd have to shut the trunk slowly.. replicas also need to be sanded down really good or else the surface will not look even hope that help

throw it like a boomerang, if it's real it'll return to it's spot thrown from, if it's a replica it'll keep flying forward after you hurl it.

I think you can order them without paint though.

where are you thinking of buying it from? If it's ebay, it's most likely a replica

the MS spoiler can come in primer. most replica spoilers come in carbon fiber and with cheap brackets, just make sure they're not.

or just buy from a mazdaspeed dealer.

yeah, if it's less the $800 or so it's probably a replica
