I would only buy OEM. I have seen the replicas and they do not look as good.

That is too much sugar for a dime. It will be complete crap. Do like everyone else has said and by an OEM spoiler; you know what you're getting, how it will fit, and the quality of the paint. Since there are no photos showing closeups of the camera hole and how it fits, my bet is that it was cut with a reciprocating saw.


Shame on you WhosUrBuddiee for even mentioning the espoiler one.

When their website photo of "their product" is actually a photo of an OEM spoiler on a car on a dealer's lot and try to convince me that's the same thing they are selling me for $100, I'll say no thanks.

Not sure I agree with everyone. You can get Grubbs for cheaper than OEM and get perfect fitment, matched color, looks good.

oh god, do not buy that spoiler, i purchased a spoiler from that guy before knowing it was a replica but yet had ****ty fitment around the camera, and horrible paint job, and a ****ty manual

Get OEM, it comes with the proper way how to install, basically everything you need to know and what tools to get to install it, if you can afford the car you can damn well afford the OEM spoiler.


And if your interested, i have a BO JP lip for sale - https://www.myg37.com/forums/exterio...ed-ob-kh3.html

Thumbs up

You drive a nice vehicle and didnt get cheap when choosing it or youd be driving a Kia Rio, or 88 ?Hyundai excel (Rodney King Style - LOL)

Please avoid eGay parts on your ride and just save up for the good stuff.. OEM or reputable aftermarket such as Impul, Top Secret, Ings, etc.

I just want someone to try it. There is a small chance it would fit.

Fitment is 100%, i had it before, now its sitting in my garage. It blocked out half of my camera on the screen, so i just purchased the OEM and called it a day.

I purchased one from everything35, Installation was simple, as long your handy with a drill and good with instructions, you should have no problem. They give a booklet on how to install and templates where you place on the trunk to ensure an accurate drill.

If fitment is 100% just buy the primered version for 70 dollars. Take it to a shop, have them fix the hole and paint it for you. Maybe 100 dollars.
