Default Sti6 replica spoilers - which one!

Having a 'mare trying to find a genuine subaru spoiler

may settle for a copy until a genny comes available..question is which ones are best??

would prefer a Plastic one as opposed to fiberglass...iv seen a few places stating theirs are 'the best on the market' but i arnt sure which to go for as some are FG/PU Resin, some just FG...some are more expensive etc etc

but just which one is best...iv seen OEM Grade plastic one on ebay £150 buy it now...sounds like my best option so far??

None, in my opinion. The big spoiler thing has definitely had its day, I'm afraid.

I got mine from DR Motorsport ready painted and I think the quality of it is good although it took a while to fit as it did not fit flush on the bootlid. All credit to DR motorsport though they told me what to do and with a little help from my brother we got it on OK. I think you will have this problem with a lot of the aftermarket spoilers and if you want one that goes on and fits perfect first time then I think it has to be a genuine STI one. I have heard a few horror stories about the e-bay cheapo spoilers, I guess it is true that you get what you pay for.
