Default Spoiler recommendations?!

Hey all,

Anyone have any spoiler recommendations? I got the Seibon style one in the mail today and to my $600 surprise it was a piece of junk (photos attached). So with that one going back, I don't see many other options out there besides the factory spoiler.

why not get the actual seibon spoiler for $200 more? yes it’s more expensive, but youre paying for fantastic hand made quality and probably one of the best for lexus models

What do you mean the 'actual' seibon spoiler for $200 more?? I bought the one from Seibon Carbon for $620 (https://seiboncarbon.com/products/sm...s-250-350.html) And the photos above are what they sent me..

Usually when 'style' is appended after a brand name it references as a replica to that brand.

Assuming it’s actually Seibon and not Seibon ‘style’

Yea just to clear the air here...the spoiler is 100% authentic seibon carbon purchased directly from their website. Sending it back for a full refund. I spoke with one of the guys from their shop about where this stuff is made (all overseas). I bought a carbon fiber spoiler a few weeks back from amazon. I didn’t end up keeping because I didn’t like the style, however, the quality was 10 fold better and it was $170. Point being the $170 spoiler and the seibon carbon are probably all being made in the same places just rebranded and jacked up in price.

Additionally, I noticed all these white cloud looking marks all over the spoiler. I figured they were fingerprint smudges from handling the spoiler. Tried to wipe with a microfiber cloth and they remained. Maybe it’s a total fluke and maybe they make good quality stuff, but this was my experience...kinda bummed

Even if they were made at the same place, the SEIBON name should mean that they have higher quality standards that never let sub-part products make it to the customers. Not sure what happened here..
