Arrow ???Roof Spoilers???

Where on eBay can I find a good roof spoiler? eBay seems to be the cheapest [let the "you get what you pay for" comments roll], but there seems to be a few good ones out there.... has anyone purchased one off eBay? Any suggestions?

For example:

eBay is actually a nice place to buy it cheap. There are some member who has gotten very good results from eBay roof spoiler. The paint match was really good too. Make sure to check the review and buy from highly rated seller.

You can do a quick search for ebay roof spoiler... some people have posted the seller name.

From what I've heard, it's usually a hit or miss with eBay roof spoilers.

If your card is a hard to match color (i.e. starfire pearl) the ebay spoiler is usually a miss. If you want a replica though and your color isn't hard to match or your going to paint it anyways, then its probably not so bad

Got my TP from "OEM.thing", mine was less expensive than what's listed now. Great service and follow up, cheap too. Arrived in a week w/ free shipping. Gonna install this weekend, but looks like a perfect match. http://cgi.ebay.com/PAINTED-LEXUS-IS...#ht_3894wt_808

My car is TP with a black roof so it was easy for me to find a black roof spoiler on eBay.
What color is your car? Are you trying to color match?

Will you post back with your opinion on this once you install? I am thinking about ordering one from OEM.thing as well but it's $134! Don't want to spend that much if it's not worth it!

Seems a bit much and it's coming from GB? Can't see full ad on iPhone but I heard bad things about roof spoilers coming from there and their customer service. Let us know how it goes. I might buy the one I listed

Like someone stated above, its usually a miss if you have a had color to match on your car (for some of the pearl colors anyways). As far as quality I had goodluck buying a CF roof spoiler on my black IS. Just check out sellers feed back and go from there.

I bought one and had them paint it GFM. It did not match and I complained to the seller. After seeing pictures, the seller refunded me $50 so I got the spoiler for $40 shipped.
