Default carlsson spoiler, ebay

Does anyone have this rear deck spoiler off of ebay? I've searched here and at my.is and nobody has feedback on the fitment.

I have bought replica spoilers before and they fit well, so I was thinking the risk is relatively low. Any input?

I agree in certain instances, like with wheels, but a spoiler is just fiberglass and easy to copy...I've seen a lot of good replicas for spoilers...so if it fits, I don't really care if its a replica.

I have purchased them for a few of my last leased cars. They are a great fit! 1/3 of the dealer or aftermarket prices. Its up to you but I have had good luck.

Like you said its not rims and you cant tell the difference IMO. Just make sure you are getting from a reputable seller that is all I would say!

Just as an update, I finally bought this spoiler off ebay and had it painted... I did not buy it painted. I have to say, the fit and finish is pretty good. It need some prep work to get rid of molding defects (gates, etc), but it fits perfectly.

I also tinted out the windows too, makes the car look so much better.

From what I can see, it looks pretty good. I did notice the curve around the Lexus emblem looks a bit off but that could easily be done at prep time at the body shop. I would need to inspect it in person to make a full report on the fitment. Looks good in the pic though.

I like INGS+1 and IS-F trunk spoilers more.

Very nice and looks like a pretty good fitment. Was this installed by double sided tape?
