Default Roof Spoiler Questing Ebay

So I know you get what you pay for which scares me about the below link. Does anyone on here have this CF roof spoiler from Ebay? If you do, how is the quality? Should I save my money and get a Lexon? I have never heard of Advanation and $82.00 is very inexpensive (cheap). On the flip side $600.00+ for the Lexon is pretty steep.

Thanks,
Tom

I think I have that exact one. I love it, looks good, fits good. Well worth the $90 IMO. However, I was told cheap CF pieces will yellow in a year or two because of a ****ty clear coat. If that happens, I plan on just having it painted my body color on top of the spoiler. Even painted it will be $400+ under a real one!

take it to a shop and have them hit it with quality clear. $20 and no yellowing

I had the ebay roof spoiler for about a year. It started yellowing in the middle, but it still looked okay. I had a small gap from the double sided tape to my window and after one year, I guess water and moisture got under it, and I think it flew off on the freeway or something.

Folks - selling is done in the classifieds. I cleaned up a few posts not related to the question.

Continue the discussion.

Thanks for everyones input. I think I will check the fit on it first and then have it painted to match the car. That should take care of the yellowing. I'm sure I will update this post in a year with a story about how mine flew off too...
