Default Is ebay good for rear spoilers?

Has anyone bought from them?

They have one in my color for $158 & free shipping.

I don't know and I wouldn't think it would be. From what I have read there is a template that you use for drilling the holes which may be the hardest part of the whole thing getting the template perfect on each side.

I got mine from ebay too, seller is "thespoilerstore" Paint and fitment was pretty good, cant really see the difference. Only thing is you have to remove the foam from the spoiler before installing or it sticks out way too much.

Yes, I bought it and installed in on my box.

Here's my original topic from a year ago with a tutorial I made, too.

I bought my spoiler from thespoilerstore on ebay, back in august 09 for $110 shipped, and it was painted too!

Great fit, great color match. Wish i left the foam tape on when i installed though.

yea i got my spoiler from ebay also... don't think it was from thespoilerstore, but mine was carbon fiber and didn't find anything wrong with it at all. It took me two people to put it on but it can be done with just one person... hardest part, as said before, is just getting the templates in the exact right spot.

This comment may not really belong here, so please be kind . When I originally purchased my xB2, I went over the available options/accessories with a fine tooth comb. Although I found a number of items interesting, I winnowed it down to exactly two. One being the rear spoiler, the other being the rear bumper applique'. Why? Because I figured that those two were both the most visible and the least likely I'd get perfect. As it turned out, the dealer install of both was indeed perfect Everything else I've done myself.

the only different from OEM spoiler are the template and the holes, it's too simple of that little piece of paper template and only one hole for after maket spoiler vs OEM one. I don't know if I will make a mistake by lining it up with after market template. I would stick to OEM one on the save side, not much more money.

We got one from thespoilerstore on ebay and it was like $120 painted and shipped. I too took the foam off for better fitment and used some thinner 3m double sided tape for perfect fit. Oh and paint is matched almost perfect.

I also got mine from ebay. I have zero issues with it. The install is so easy and simple. I however painted mine. But i would totally use eBay and save yourself some cash.
