The spoiler depot lip will run you about 300 shipped/painted. The eBay lip on the first link I posted will cost around 80 shipped/painted.

Go with the cheap ebay M3 replica lip. I actually bought one of those about 5 or so years ago but never really used it. Quality is fine because its a polyurethane lip. Fitment is fine because it is flexible and will bend to the contour of the trunk unlike a fiberglass lip that doesn't have good fitment. The only thing you have to worry about is it comes in preset lengths, like 48" 46" and such. Have to get the largest one that doesn't overhang over your trunk. For that $19 price you can't go wrong. I think it looks better than a lot of authentic JDM stuff, but then again I'm not into 3 piece trunk spoilers either.

It costs 400 because its an authentic aristo lip. Actually, its closer to 500 than 400, with shipping. I wouldn't pay 400 for that wing either. I'm considering the spoiler depot or the cheap ebay lip.

No to the practical e-bay spoilers!! Buy original! Resist the imitators that make the make inflated prices look...inflated. Junction Produce/Prussian Blue $600 small plastic lips FTW!! They're, you know, better...

If you're looking for a nice, subtle added touch, then the first one will do the job at a great price. I purchased the same one pre-painted about 3 years ago from Ebay. So far, the lip spoiler is holding up just fine and the paint matches the trunk lid well.

IMO, the 3 piece JP wing only looks good on cars that are moderately - heavily modified. It also has to just flow with the entire car and its exterior modification theme too. I've seen a few instances of a JP wing on a near stock car and it just doesn't look right to me.

Here's a few photos of my Ebay lip spoiler. It may be from a different Ebay seller but it's probably the same brand, etc.

You just sold me on the cheap lip Car looks great BTW. Probably one of the best looking silver GS's I've seen. The mods you've done is exactly the same mods I was thinking of doing to my silver GS400.
