Agreed. Needs much better angles and pictures. It's amazing how some sellers have no clue how to sell something properly.

Agreed need better angles. The angles they have don't look good to me. I would like to see it from the rear.

Not a fan of that design. I think the non F-sport oem spoilers are perfect for the GS'. I wonder if someone's wrapped that in carbon fiber yet.

+1 wish I could see how it would actually look from the rear angle.

I saw the GSF looking one with carbon fiber obviously, keeping the original look and not getting the car look ricey at the same time.

Not perfect but I did! I was thinking about buying that spoiler and am the one who convinced the seller to post pics of it on a GS. Still on the fence...

I still think the TRD (F Sport Parts) spoiler looks the best. It has the two outer mounting bolt/screws, mounting gasket, and vinyl adhesive covers for the unused mounting holes for the OEM spoiler.

Ok I'll be the guinea pig on this one haha. Just ordered it and should hopefully be here soon. I'll let you guys know how it turns out and post some pics from some better angles. I think it'll look better on a car my color (starfire Pearl) and that has other CF and black accents.
Here are the eBay pics:

I guess CF is hard to photograph, its hard to tell how it looks on the previous pics posted like the white GS. I was considering this one.

I just hate getting low quality carbon parts, much of the CF parts I've bought get nuked with the Texas sun after a short amount of time. I have rolls of 5d CF but to me it looks cheap and not like the real thing.

I totally understand and feel the same way. I'm not in TX so don't have that heat problem but I'm first going to test fit and if all looks good, I'll put some clear coat on it for extra protection and go from there. Originally I wrapped my lux spoiler but I agree with you on the look of the wrap...still not like the real thing!

Keeping it waxed or sealed would probably help.
