Default affordable is250 carbon fiber roof spoiler

first post here. this forum has helped me out alot so i figured i should give back.

so im gonna recommend a cheap but decently fitting roof spoiler! knock off on ebay for $80

http://www.ebay.com/itm/170869635391...84.m1439.l2649

came in safely packed with a sleeve over it so it wouldnt scratch. My box actually had a shoe imprint on the top of it, glad it wasn't broken! its about 2mm short on both sides. its not actual carbon fiber but hey its $80 not $200+

the thing is with some of these aftermarket parts, esecially off ebay is that they're not all always the same. for example the one i got may vary from the one you get depending on the vendor. just a warning its a hit or miss on ALL ebay parts.

for installation 3M tape is your best bet

What material is it then? I almost bought one of these today, but you made me hesitate on it. Seems like carbon fiber, and the description reads Real Carbon Fiber..

It's usually fiberglass or FRP and has a carbon fiber overlay with a clear on that. That's how most of them are. NONE are entirely carbon fiber.
