Default Rear Spoiler on Ebay for my GS430??

Guys, I was thinking of getting a rear spoiler for my GS430 to complete stock sport package look, since I have stock 17" wheels. Dealer charges arm and leg. I was thinking of buying it on Ebay painted. Anyone had any bad experience with those OEM look spoilers or any experience at all. Some input is needed? Here is one I was considering:

The only problem with buying one pre painted is that there is a good chance it will not match your paint. I would look in the classified section here on CL and if need be post a wanted thread and then take it to a body shop and have them paint it to match. This may be a little more expensive but in the long run you will be better off

I got my sport design lip painted from spoilerdepot.com. They also have their items on ebay. I submitted them my color code and the color of the item they shipped matches perfectly. Fitment is also very descent. I'm very happy with them.

I bought mine from spoilersdirect, already painted with no problems. Very close to the original paint, considering my car is a 2001 GS300.

I have a 2004 GS430 OEM spoiler with mounting brackets in mint condition. This spoiler came from the factory, not the dealer. I decided to do a JP lip spoiler with my Vertex bodykit so the spoiler is available. Only problem is that it is gold, not black. I do live in Florida, too - Southeast Florida. PM me for details and I can supply pix, too.

I also bought a prepainted oem style from spoiler depot on ebay for my gs- my color is black and it matched perfect- no complaints. I first checked with the lexus dealer- they said that gs with the spoiler from the factory comes with some kind of mounting brackets that nonspoiler cars don't have and therefore i could't just buy a oem from them- they said that what they would do was essentially just order something that looked "similiar" and install it for me to the tune of 600 bucks- i said no thanks - spoiler depot was about 170 if i remember and put it on diy

The seller on eBay has great pricing, however I can't speak for the color matching or how easily the 3rd Brake light is to hook-up. I've been looking at his item for a while now, but I'm still not sure that stock is the way I want to go. His feedback seems to indicate that you can't go wrong.

I haven't used that guy, but I did use Spoilerdepot for my Honda Accord. The paint was a dead match, but the LED was sub par. A few LEDs went deal after a year. I was pretty disappointed. Also, the wing was heavy and I had to add a trunk spring. Not sure if thats the case with this seller. He seems to indicate that the wing is really light.
Go for it and let us know how it works out!
