Default Roof and Rear Spoiler fakes

hey guys

im in australia, and i installed a Fujita Intake recently, the sounds amazing

but the outside of the car needs something to freshen it up a bit
i looked into getting the OEM Spoiler, but Lexus wants $AU 995 for it, helll no

i was searching ebay, and came across this
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Paint...Q5fAccessories

painted Carlsson replica and spoiler
will the paint from this match?

has anyone here bought from OEM.Thing before??
if so, wat are your stories??

im a student (17y/o) and dont really have funds to buy the real thing for 300+ and the spoiler for whatever they want for it

thanks

Dont do it man...I bought my roof spoiler from the same guy (oem.thing)...the paint quality is horrible. Like if you barely scratch it with your nails the paint will start coming off. I think i paid 90 some dollars but it wasn't worth it. I guess you get what you pay for but I wouldn't recommend it. I hope this helps!

Don't do it. I have a friend who bought the wing/lip for his BMW 3-Series and after about 6 months the paint is starting to crack and fade. You can totally tell it's a POS.

i just bought the oem replica trunk spoiler and carlsson roof spoiler from ************* on ebay for 230 painted free shipping. Its actually on its way now. took like 3 days to paint and then they shipped it out. i carefully read reviews on all of thier products and everyone says the paint is spot on and it fits perfectly. my color is black onyx so its pretty easy to match. but yea i didnt see one bad review.

i bought both my roof spoiler and trunk lip (jun-tw replica and oem replica) from ebay for about $230 for both. They were from two separate sellers. Took several weeks to arrive but the quality was perfect. You can't tell the difference between the real and the fake in my case. The guys who helped me put it on asked if it was an actual OEM part.

PS. I did a LOT of research and had looked through many pics of the products prior to purchasing. And they were also prepainted and it matches perfect
