Thoughts on ebay spoilers?

viperguy212 · 09-03-2017, 11:37 AM

Hey all,

Recently just picked up

View post on imgur.com

over the weekend and she's missing a spoiler.

I'm leaning towards a carbon fiber option but the spread in prices is pretty large.

This one off eBay caught my eye.

The other option for double the price is from JLmotoring, the sponsor here. It of course looks great but at double the price I was wondering if anyone had luck with the ebay Carbon fiber variants?

Option 3 - Non-CF is super cheap...

At some point I'll pick up a front lip to match, either CF or not. Any opinion is welcome.

Thanks!

Ive been eyeing that high kick spoiler for a while now as well. Here's another link that's a bit cheaper: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-Fiber...53.m1438.l2649

If you'll look through the previous spoiler threads you'll see feedback from owners who purchased from various eBay suppliers. Good luck!

Hit or miss from my experience with eBay sellers (both from China). Bought a body paint matched one and it fit perfect. Bought a cf one and it didn't. Had to ship back and eat that cost then file a complaint to get my money back.

OEM or go home

I wouldn't risk fitments with the eBay spoilers - it's fairly easy to tell if the alignment is off.

Ebay has a lot of good parts. Actually they are great parts but you guys shouldn't be buying from the China sellers. Stick to Taiwan...

I've bought my cf mirror covers, front cf lip, rear windshield cf lip and cf trunk lip from eBay and it's all come from Ikon Motorsport. All fits 98% true to oem for a fraction of the price.

Perfect weave, flawless clear coat.

+1 on Ebay. Why spend 5X on OEM when products from Ebay looks just as good? Bought my CF spoiler from Ebay and love it.
