Default Ebay Roof Spoilers? any thoughts

Planning on buying one of those 90 dollar ebay roof spoilers.
Anyone had any experience with them?
Color fade?
Warp?
thanks

Bought one... the fit wasnt perfect... kindda overlaped a bit on the sides... decided to toss it.

If you cant afford the real deal, their a steal. great price for a 97% great product. If you can afford the $300 though do it... cause in the end I paid the $70 + $300 haha (and above all, never admit you bought it on Ebay...) LS430 owners dont shop on ebay....

I've been wondering about the Ebay spoiler myself and how well it fits. I ended up buying the Shine Auto Project roof spoiler for $200.

I'm supposed to pick up my Shine spoiler from the body shop this weekend. I'm hoping it fits good.

I got mine put on Friday and the fitment was good. The only problem I had was trying to keep it from falling off the car. Double sided tape wouldn't work so we ended up using some windshield sealant to get it to stick to the car.

I would recommend that you don't use double sided tape to stick it to the car. My friend's roof spoiler just flew off his IS while he was driving a few days ago. They cost too much to get blown away in the wind.

Do you have pics of the Shine Auto roof spoiler on your car Kira? I was looking at others and damn 400 bucks for a roof spoiler is a bit much. I wanna see how far it extends out when it is installed.

Thanks!

Yes sir, I'll get some pics tomorrow morning. $400 is way too much. I felt like a fool for spending $225 on the Shine spoiler but it looks good.

Hey guys, just installed the rear lip spoiler off of ebay that comes painted and I was rather blown away by the quality, considering it was 30 dollars and out of Taiwan. I plan on ordering a roof one eventually too.

Here is a link to one I found: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Painted-Code...-/281175390716

They also have the tiny trunk spoiler as well for $30 with free shipping. I typed "JDM LS430 Roof Spoiler" on Google and they all show up on the second eBay link.
