Default OEM or Replica spolier for '08 IS350

I am looking to buy an oem "lip" style spoiler for my '08 IS350. i'm hoping you guys have a suggestions on where to buy one. I would want to buy painted (black). Are there quality replicas that you had a good experience with quality wise? There are some on eBay that come painted for around $100 and I know I don't want to spend much more than that. Also, am I correct in assuming these are installed with the 3M tape? Thanks!

If you want an OEM, your best bet is posting a WTB in the classified section. I had an black OEM one for sale listed a few months back

Aftermarket ones come with tape and screws. I’ve had my AM once on by tape only for 10 years, no issues.

OEM comes with studs and nuts that you have to cut off if you choose to not use.

Yeah I would do that but it doesn't look like I have access to post in classifieds as I probably haven't been a member for long enough. Will probably go the replica route as I would like it to be in new condition anyway.

Another here for ebay spoiler route. I was hesitant initially, but reasonably pleased with the quality.
I got a Wald style spoiler. Fit and finish was great, but as you can expect, prep isn't the best. The paint matches great, it's shiny but the orange peel is horrible.

I did an aggressive treatment with my orbital and it looks much better. Could be better by hand, but I just had 4 hand surgeries for carpel tunnel so I'm all about smarter over harder where I can.
