ARE YOU CRAZY ??!?!?!?
you can't ask a question like this on THIS board unless you want to get FLAMED !!! Nobody here with a few exceptions understand that not all of us can afford to get the REAL DEAL !

Yea I was looking to pay about 200 for a wing. Hopefully the veilside copy. I don't care if i get "flamed" for wanting a copy. I am not that stupid to pay 400 dollars more just because it was made from the veilside factory. lol that is like if you actually pay 25 dollars to get your own oil done at the dealership. When you can get a synthetic oil for cheaper and do it yourself. BUT I am suuuure all of you lexus guys know that.

looking for something cheap? try ebay. There are tons of OEM like spoiler there. Maybe be you will lucky and get one for $200
It's not about buying cheap stuff, it's about whether it's wise to get the cheaper one or not. There is a trade off. You don't want your spoiler to sag/rattle/not paint matched/non uniform brake LED.... in a short period of usage? Paying for Lexus service is a different story, if you are a DIY kinna guy, I am sure you can do your oil change better than the dealer, you take your time and do it right, but if you are not a DIY person, paying the dealer is a safer route than taking it to Jiffy lupe and save a few bux.
It's your call. "Most of the time", a reputable place carry better products but also have higher price. But at least, you know they will be there when the product failed to work.

it is not about buying from the name. buying from the actual company will make sure that you have good quality and that they will be there when your products go wrong to either help you out or trade you for a new one. now, imitations usually come with no brand to trust, sometiems you wont even know who made it. With imitations you are usually on your own when the product doesnt fit and you will spend just as much to make it fit as you would if you had the original to start with. Some of the members here have already discovered this.
