Default eBay 'factory' style trunk spoiler any good?

Not trying to dispute about OEM vs replica, but has anyone had experience with 2IS OEM 'style' trunk spoilers? They are half the price of the OEM ones painted and is installed with just double-sided tape. Plus, I don't want to go through the hassle of having to dremel off the bolts off the OEM spoilers

I have one. I purchased the oem lip rep and the jun-tw roof spoiler rep from ebay. Both turned out great and color and fit was perfect. I even compared the oem and rep side by side at the dealer and could not tell a difference. Understandably I have obsidian black so it's definitely easier to match than per say starfire pearl.

i was thinking about this spoiler too. i'm just not 100% confident that the taoe will hold if you are planning to keep your car for a long time.

@ Giant Fan

Wrong spoiler fella. I think he means the one on the trunk, like the ones that you can get as an option at your dealer.

I use both the ebay roof spoiler (as shown by giant fan) and ebay trunk spoiler. Had the trunk spoiler for over a year, tape held on fantastically (make sure it's clean, use adhesive promoter) and perfect color match. Virtually can't tell the diff between OEM and generic (ebay). Roof spoiler had fitment issues, and bows out a little... Still can't tell to the untrained eye

You're right somehow my eyes skipped over the word trunk.....

If there's "ISF style" get that instead, I really hate the ISx50 trunk spoiler.

I bought mine from ebay for my tungsten pearl 250 in March of 09. color match is perfect and the fitment is great. I installed it with just the double sided tape and it's still solidly attached after more than a year. I highly recommend it.
