Want to buy a MS Spoiler, advice please

Hey guys, I want to buy a MS spoiler and replace my current stock one with it. I have read countless of bad reviews about the Duraflex replica, which I am staying away from. But I would like to get some feedback and advice from anyone that I can, this is the best one I have seen so far that costs way more than the Durafex one, but it seems to be legit to me. It also comes painted with your colour of choice:

What do you think?

My advice? ****** it up man. Not only are authentic spoilers hard to come by because they're not being made any more, the price looks good to me too. I paid $600 for mine, but it was worth every penny. Beautiful spoiler.

I do not believe it is authentic. I believe these are made by a company called Racing Raven. I don't have or can't find any reviews for their products, but it seem legit.

Bought it, $460 CAD with shipping and all that fun stuff, will come painted in my colour which is why I wanted it. Probably gotta pay around $120 for import tax on it as well but ah well, worth it. I really wanted it.

If you have a stock wing you will more than likely need some paint on your trunk, keep that in mind.

I bought an ebay fiberglass replica cause I couldn't find an oem as stated above hard to come by. it took a bit of work for me to get it to fit and the result is 8 out of 10 (I'm pretty happy with it, but a perfectionist). wish it was oem.......I am not sure that the duraflex ones are any better than what I bought whether in CF or fiberglass. interested to see the result

get it painted don't try to spray bomb it yourself, it will look like crap.

Spray paint? Depends on how ratchet you are :P Glad you like it! Like I said, BEAUTIFUL spoiler. I was lucky enough to not only find an authentic one, but the guy lived 20 minutes from me too lol.
