gotta love the ignorant snobs in CL... There are some things in eBay that are fine and some that aren't. You just gotta know what you're looking for.

^^ well thanks for stimulating our economy. when we're all paying ~$100 for a roof spoiler, we give thanks to people like you for buying the real thing for ~$500 when it looks EXACTLY the same. again, thanks.

I have a replica roof spoiler from ebay.

Paint was perfect. Fitment was perfect.

Go ahead and buy the real thing if you want, but search CL and you will find NOBODY has had a problem with ebay roof spoilers...

Its already confirmed this spoiler fit and finish is right on. Maybe you got a defective one but doesn't mean everything from there is bad. Anything painted brand new vs putting on a used car that is 3 years old is not going to match 100% especially with pearl paints.

If it makes you sleep better at night buying the real JUNTW then more power to you. Its just a roof spoiler which wont compromise my safety so its not that critical.

Yah I've bought painted products before on eBay and they were perfectly fine. little things like roof spoilers or lips aren't too easy to mess up. I would advise against full body kits and such as majority of the time the body kits don't fit properly and the amount of fabrication needed for proper fitment in the end eats up alot of the savings that you got from getting an eBay kit.

But like I said, spoilers and lips, eBay is great for.

I agree 100%. Some people will pay top dollar for the name.
