Default Wald Style Duck Tail Spoiler [eBay]

Of the three, which would you go for and why?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/272141531890
http://www.ebay.com/itm/301455657720
http://www.ebay.com/itm/391011343604

For those with this duck tail, do you know whether the cutout for the emblem is actually a hole or is there a backing?

Also curious about the emblem...Doesn't look like a cutout so do we remove the old one and put it on this one?

Depends are you molding it? If so then none. Find a fiberglass one. If not then it'll be a hit or a miss on fitment. I would carefully check the reviews. A lot of those fit terrible. I bout a fiberglass one from bayson r and car king. Car Kings fit better. As for the hole I'd ask the seller. I've seen it with and without the backing.

If im correct. Thats a Jun-TW Replica trunk spoiler. Not many ppl rock them bcuz the huge price on the real ones. But its pretty moderate in terms of looks. If u want aggressive the Wald or a Duck Bill full trunk is the way to go.

Not looking to mold it. I just want it to be color-matched to Tungsten Pearl and fitment to be relatively spot on.
Funny all three don't have any reviews.
Thanks for the insight!

Tungsten pearl is hard to match BC it's a 3 stage paint. I recommend whichever one you buy have a local body shop paint it. The spoiler being plastic you can manipulate it with a heat gun to help make it fit better.

Fiberglass is the way to go if you're molding it? I tried to do a web search for this information but couldn't find information on comparing the two when it comes to molding

It's also interesting that the different retailers had different fitment, I would have thought they all came out of the same factory. I'm planning on getting one in the future, played out or not I love the look of the "duck bill" style spoilers (or whale-tail as the one ones on my CRX's are called)

I have this. I got it from xperttuner. They are nice and respond to questions. The fitment for me was alright. Pretty good but not perfect. It is color matched to my onyx black 2is. The OEM emblem DOES NOT fit on this. You'll have to find the correct size, which I am doing right now.

Do you have any photos of the fitment and color-match?

I'll take photos and update you when I get home from work. In about 8 hours lol. 4pm pacific. The color match is pretty spot on and my fitment is 9/10. They are pretty good and they're located in city of industry. Not too far from me. My first order had a small scratch on it and I drove in and exchanged it. No problems. They're nice people.



edit: the OEM logo does fit on this. I was just being a retard. Haha.

to be really specific, these are my steps...


removed OEM spoiler
used goo-gone and got rid of as much residue as possible
used soapy detergent water to get rid of goo-gone and finger grease/oils
use soapy detergent to clean the spoiler, dry throughly. I even used a hair blow dryer to make sure it's dried and apply some heat
applied 3m tape (roughly 1 inch wide") all around the borders.
Applied 2 pieces of 3m tape (roughly 6 inch in length) in the middle of the spoiler, for good measure/safety
used hair blow dryer on the 3m tape and pressed firmly.
PARTIALLY Peel 3m tape so that I can rip it off when mounted
aligned and placed spoiler onto trunk
removed the red part of the 3m tape
pressed firmly all around to make sure every part of tape is stuck (firm enough to move my car back and fourth)
left my car in the hot sun for hours
came back to press my spoiler again for funsies
