Most reps are filled. Those who bought off BaysonR on eBay got ones with holes.

My rep had the hole filled and had the indention for the Lexus emblem just like the authentic.

I think the authentic has Wald stamped on the bottom or something and they say it fits better. But other then that they look the same .

Actually it has no stamping but the fiberglass it topnotch very well laid and even when you sand it you can barely see the actual fiber.

I did get the rep because I am molding it and painting it. I do not like the way carbon fiber looks after time out in the sun and didn't want to have to paint over the carbon down the road. Also the painter preferred I get the fiberglass also. In addition the price is so different I could not pass it up. If it where something that was more critical such as a set up wheels I would have gotten the authentic.

right on! Thats why I got a rep, for a second it seemed like I was the only one with a molded rep. The authentic one comes carbon fiber? I've only seen regular fiberglass

^ For clarification, you can get the WALD spoiler in carbon fiber or just regular fiberglass.

^^ yeah i figured that. Was just confused since Bernie said "I did get the rep because I am molding it and painting it. I do not like the way carbon fiber looks after time out in the sun and didn't want to have to paint over the carbon down the road." sounding like he thought the authentic only comes in CF. Theres even reps on ebay that are Carbon Fiber.

Sorry, I said that incorrectly. I did not see the need to spend the money on the real one because I am molding it. Also did not see the need for carbon fiber since in is very easily oxidized by the sun and would end up painting it either way; regardless of real or rep.
