To be honest who cares if its real or fake? If i told you it was real you would never know and im not the type for "I Gotta have everything JDM!" Its a daily driver and to be honest im not in love with this car but im stuck with it for another 3 years so im modding it to my liking and not going to be showing this car so if i really need some $400 JDM window vents and get the $100 AVS ones am i a sucker for spending that kinda loot on 4 pieces of plastic or am i smart for getting something i want for a 1/3 of the price that does the same thing?

But hey if you want to mod your car with replica stuff anyways...by all means do it! Not saying you can't or you shouldn't. Just remember that the replica parts won't be made of as good quality and you aint gonna have any sort of guarantee/warranty in most cases. Plus when you go try and sell your replica parts, you wont get jack back for it. Keep that in mind when your buying replicas and saying people who buy authentic are suckers. So no, your not really smarter for buying replicas.
BTW...If it wasn't for the company that came up with the part in the first place, you wouldn't have a replica. If everyone was like you, replica companies wouldn't have anything to replicate anymore and those of us who do like to mod and buy authentic would be S.O.L.

After much looking for OEM spoiler, endless EBAY & web searches i went with the OEM from Sewell. I know i can count on them and i was leery of what i was seeing on web.
a few bucks more but 2 day delivery vs 2-3 weeks on ebay.
Item Description Status Unit Price Quantity Line Total
Spoiler - Rear Deck-Tungsten Pearl - 1G1
Shipped $170.97 1 $170.97
Subtotal: $170.97
Tax: $0.00
GROUND HOME DELIVERY: $9.52
Grand Total: $180.49
I'll post pic after install. Has any one posted a step by step guide for spoiler install using 3M tape with pics? I might if it hasn't been done.

I looked up Sewell and I got a lex dealer that had an OEM spoiler for $500 so I'm confused. Thanks!

Thanks Joe, that was quick! Interesting that the price is now $235 where as others had purchased it for $170 just a few months earlier this year. Is there a discount code or CL membership discount?

I've used this 3M adhesive promoter on a 3 Series oem spoiler..
Makes the surface tacky for better adhesion and comes off with alcohol.
