Default What about this Spoiler??

I am in search of getting a spoiler. I really like the OEM spoiler but i am not too keen on having to drill holes into my trunk lid. i have found this spoiler on EBAY, which you do not hae to drill holes it just attaches by 3M tape. It come painted to match the factory color also. So basically once you get it in slap it on! Is $160+25 shipping. Which is also cheaper than ordering the OEM spoiler too. Here is the link let me know what you guys think..

Same install as the one you're buying from Ebay. Double sided tape. Lots of IS owners are doing it this way. Planning to install it this way too when I purchase mine.

I installed the OEM spoiler by drilling but you can dremel off the bolts and just use tape to install it onto your IS. I think the OEM spoiler fits better than that one.

Personally, I prefer the OEM. Do not like how the other is squared off at the end where it meets the trunk line....does not flow with the lines of the car....should extend past the trunk, in 3 pieces, or as the OEM, taper to a point. Maybe it is just the angle of the pic, but appears to be kind of blunt ends.

I agree .... downloaded and brightened the picture .... looks OK but not as good as OEM I think.

I say if you are going to do a lip spoiler, do the oem one... that one onebay istoo close looking to the oem and looks like it doesnt fit right, too much gap.

It doesn't look bad, but I'd probably go with the OEM spoiler.

From what's posted before, the whole entire spoiler after breaking the plastic bolts. Make sure to press firmly in place.
