Default Carbon Fiber Spoiler ?

Can anyone recommend a simple basic Carbon Fiber spoiler for 500 or less? I am just shocked at some of these prices for a spoiler I am finding on these JDM sites. I searched CL , and haven't found any recent posts on spoilers. Ebay has so many listed , but who knows what the quality is like .

Same here, most AF mods for the RC models are ridiculously expensive. The two cheapest (legit) that you can find are made by Seibon or NIA.

Unfortunately I am not a fan of either of those spoilers, looks like I may have to bite the bullet , and save a few more shekels as I really don't want a Chinese knockoff . Still shocked at how dead this forum has become.

It was like this since I joined. But I'm not shocked. Compare to IS forum, just look how many RC cars you see on the road, compare to IS models. And also RC owners don't do much mods since 1. The car is already awesome looking from the factory so it's not really a corolla-type IS model and 2. Not much AF mods - if there is, it's priced ridiculously high.

As already mentioned, the RC forum has always been comparatively slow, looking at your past vehicles 4GS, 2GS, 2IS, 4LS - those all are significantly more active especially when those vehicles were the current models.

Not sure if the spoiler would be the same on the RC-F, but you may have better luck searching there.

I'm in the RC-F community and it's strangely way more active than the RC board, considering how many more RC's there are on the road as opposed to RC-Fs.
That said, the IS boards put us all to shame with how active they are

I'll continue to check the board from time to time, but its definitely not popping like the Gs board I am used to. The rc350 .net site is dead too... Looks like I am gonna get Chinese knockoff spoiler because Ive visited every site I could find , and everything is ridiculously priced I can buy a set of 19 trd wheels here in the US for 999 shipped, but a trd spoiler is 1200? What am I missing here?

Be careful about these eBay Chinese knock offs as I recently purchased one and the fitment and weave was horrible. Sent to back to seller for full refund.

Thanks for the heads up bud, that saves me from ebay and having to worry about it fitting.. I am just going to go the OEM route now. I believe I saw a TRD spoiler last night for 4700. Really ? Must be nice to have Fuc* you money!!

Damn that’s super steep. The one spoiler I have is an eBay spoiler but it’s not carbon fiber and the fitment is 9/10. Not too bad. I was trying to replace it with the one you wanted but it was horrible.

With you saying the fitment is trash , and the quality is garbage I am going to stay away from all lknockoffs, first anything from China is gonna take a month to arrive, and then if it doesn't fit I have to mail it back to China to get my money back, its not worth the headache... Oem for 250$ is fine!!
