The eBay listing states the following:
"This spoiler is made of One-piece, OEM-grade blow molded ABS virgin plastic resin"

What's the OEM spoiler made out of?

Exactly as they stated, one piece ABS. with screws on each end to BOLT on along with the 3M adhesive tape all along the edges, with the LED brake lights and mounting accessories.

Pretty good deal.

The OEM ones don't have a screws at the very end, they are rather very large snap-in type connectors. Not sure why they aren't bolts/screws as the rest of the attachement connections are bolts and double sided tape.

Want to tell the difference between OEM and non-OEM?

Look at a reflection.

You can get AIT from completely reputable dealers. My argument to buying off eBay is most of the parts are cheap and crappy and the sellers can just take you're money and screw you. Even if you dont like it, you have to aknowledge that AIT is still good quality stuff.

If this spoiler is good quality for less, great! But the number of crappy look a like parts on eBay is MUCH higher than the number of actually good parts for less

Trust me highspeed I agree with you when you say not all vendors on eBay are trustworthy and a lot of their products are crappy knock offs. But who knows. This could be an exception. eBay also sells name brand thing swell.

And for the record I do not mean to insult AIT in anyway as I support AIT and have it on my car aswell. It was an example used to distinguish that there is a difference between "original/authentic" and "reproduction" products. Even though there's a difference in the products, it doesn't have to be negative. Could just be a great deal. Only time will tell.

^I agree...if there is a good deal on eBay, go for it! I am just SUPER skeptical about eBay

haha I didn't care about badmouthing AIT (if that is what you did/didn't actually mean to do), I just didn't think it was an apples-to-apples comparison, but I do see your point.

Either way, if it's a good deal, go ahead and get it. Just be careful and don't have any kind of expectations going into eBay
