How close is Grubbs to OEM?

I keep hearing how great of an alternative the Grubbs spoiler is to OEM for half the price. How similar does it look to OEM? Can someone maybe post some pics comparing them side by side or just pics in general and BO if you've got.

Thanks

Here's the same pics I always use to show everyone Version 2 of the Grubbs spoiler. I was one of the first to have this version when I got it.

It's the non-back up camera version.

I recommend getting the grubbs. They no longer carry version 1 from my knowledge because of leaks. The version 2 is like OEM but has a little more of an aggressive stance to it.

I am really torn. That Grubbs looks pretty good and close to OEM and from what I hear the quality is great. Its certainly something to think about

Grubbs = Splicing wires?
OEM = No splicing of wires for brake light

Great looking car! I am still on the fence about the grubbs spoiler, my car is also OB. Do you have any pics of your car from other angles so I can really get a good look at the spoiler?

Thanks
