Hi All,

I saw this carbon fiber rear spoiler on eBay and is the right price for me. Any thoughts? Is it any good? If you bought one, how easy is it to install; do you have to drill holes, or is it as easy as removing existing OEM spoiler and replace it with new one?

thanks.
Joe

I have one I bought from shadow speed and I love it!

Shipping was insanely fast, I'm talking like within 3 days from Taiwan. Quality on it is very good, I'm not sure how it compares to the one you linked. Really adds a nice touch to the car though. No drilling required, just need to use some good 3m tape and line it up. I recommend using some painters tape or something during test fitting, when you have the right position mark it so when you apply the tape you can line it up easy. Its held up very well.

i bought the carbon fiber one from shadowspeed as well. the spoiler itself looks good. i had issues when the spoiler arrived with some weird shadowing in the clearcoat/beneath it. when i told the seller, they asked me to bring it to different detailing shops and body shops to see if they could resolve the problem. the problem was beneath the clear coat though, so nothing could be done. i asked for a replacement and they did not want to send me a new one (probably because the shipping to return and to ship another spoiler would cost them a lot due to being in asia). in the end they agreed to refund me like $50 off the purchase price to settle the sell. so, they have pretty good customer service in trying to resolve issues, but be aware if you have issues with yours, getting a replacement will probably be difficult. the shadowing in the spoiler are only noticeable under certain angles, and the way carbon fiber spoilers off ebay go, i expect it to yellow in a couple years anyways, so i'll replace it with a new one then.

You can open an item not as described case in eBay. eBay provides you with a USPS return label, return for a full refund.
This is regardless of what the seller says because eBay has a rock solid money back guarantee policy.

https://resolutioncenter.ebay.com/

Under "I bought an item." click "I received an item that does not match the seller's description.".

In some rare cases eBay will step in and issue you a full refund without needing to return the item and they also reimburse the seller. It's happened to me before.

I would open the eBay case and let eBay take care of the rest. There is no need to get stuck with a not as described item.

You can file a Not As Described case with eBay up to 30 days after purchase, return the item with free label, and get the rest of your money back. Even after you agreed to the partial refund. The buyer convinced you to the partial refund because they didn't want to pay the return shipping for the defective item. The eBay money back guarantee is rock solid.

Also in Paypal you can file an item not as described case up to 6 months after purchase.

If I were you I would file the case with eBay to get my money back unless you think the defect is worth living with for a $50 discount.

This looks good!

I also bought the Shadow Speed one and it is great! And I also got it in three days! There is nothing wrong with the clear coat or weave. I made two holes at the oem mounting points (and double sided tape) to install it.

I ordered from shadow speed on Sunday and I received the spoiler today ! Looks VERY good for the price ! I would def recommend buying this over the OEM GSF spoiler which costs thousands LOL

Make sure you don't drop the bolt when removing the OEM spoiler. I did and i can't take it out. Drives me nuts when i open the trunk. I can hear it rolling around....

Can you use a telescoping magnet to retrieve the loose nut? It's never good to have a loose nut in the car!

^^ Lol dang i was thinking to myself earlier i hope the bolt doesn't fall! Overall it was easy to remove ... hardest part was dealing with the left over gunk/glue

Did you all only use the 3m tape to secure the new spoiler?
