Default Who sells the cheapest Fab style spoiler?

I'm looking to buy the fab style spoiler but i don't want it in carbon fiber. I looking to purchase it in fiberglass. I know scionsport.com was selling them for 229.00 but the product isn't there anymore. Any help would be appreciated. Trust me I know about the bbist cf wing already.

Umm...I'm sure he knows that CF is paintable. I think he doesn't want to pay the additional cost of CF if he's going to paint it anyway.

fyi. when i ordered the fab spoiler from scion sport it didnt fit. i brought it to 3 different body shops, and they all said that it would have to be reheated and molded just to fit. which basically means i would have to pay another couple hundred bucks to fix their faulty part. so i had to send it back.

Peabe, thanks for that info!! I'm glad that they don't sell it anymore. I've ordered many other things from there so i figured that i could trust them. Well I guess I'll just order the bBist wing and paint it then. Thanks guys for your input and info.

geee....a knockoff product that doesn't fit right. What a coincidence. Man if you want something definetly do your homework. I know we americans are cheap and build cheap things, but we shouldn't complain when something is cheap and doesn't fit. WE only bring grief to ourselves by buying knockoffs. by real or don't buy.

i think he meant the original fabulous spoiler didnt fit, not the bBist one. talk to squirrel, i remember him saying how the fabulous spoiler he had had to be reworked to fit and everything. in the end he went with the bBist one...

The CF one from bBist is going to be your cheapest overall choice.

two things that more then likely will not be paired to well with eachother in a sentence... "CHEAP" and "FITS GOOD/RIGHT". just like the knock off made in taiwan, mexico, etc. bodykits running around the states these days they're cheap to buy but an arm and a leg to fit correctly/good onto your car.

like someone else said americans want good quality products at cheap cost but in japan more often then not quality is at a higher priority then price.

Default .....Back to the topic....

I found a good price, $210 on a fiberglass FAB type spoiler. From sterrtconcepts.com
$50 shipping. It arrived today. It will need to be painted. They say that it will fit. If not, it goes back and a better business bureau complaint will be filed. It was not protected well, the side corner popped out of the bubble wrap and the side looks like it was dragged on a wherehouse floor.
Now I will be hunting for a body shop to paint and install it.
Photos will be posted, I promise.

I have an original Fabulous wing that ws over $560 shipped from Japan and took over 4 months to get.

I am currently running the bBist Fab style wing, and neither wing needed any modifcation for fitment.

They both went on w/o any sanding, grinding, bending, or whatever to the mounting areas.

The original Fabulous wing did need prepping and sanding where the join line was prior to primer and paint..
