Painted rear spoiler for CHEAP!

Before I get trashed for bringing up eBay, just notice that they say 100% money back guarantee... guaranteed fitment.

I found this OEM replica wing painted for $145.20 shipped.

2009 Infiniti G37 Painted OEM Spoiler Wing GRAY K57 NEW: eBay Motors

What do people think? Pretty great deal compared to $500 at the stealership!

You get what you pay for. I can tell replicas apart instantly.

I agree with Mike. Plus just because they say '100% money back guarantee' doesn't in any way mean they will actually do it. eBay is scammer central when it comes to car parts unless you know exactly who you are buying from (like Riverside Infiniti, etc)

It amazes me that people buy a 40k car and then want to go cheap with mods .... eBay has turned into China Knock-off central. They may say money back but good luck getting a response once they have your money. Paypal isn't as helpful with that as they used to be (I have had to do it twice, second time I really had to fight hard). Go with OEM ...

I agree if your buying something more complex than a spoiler or a grille... say a hood, trunk or bumper. From the picture, I say Raul's looks just as legit as OEM and he saved $350 for something else.

Who else?

I'm happy with it. It looks good, I get lots of compliments.

It amazes ME that people think they can talk $hit with their $40K car and haven't done $hit with their car (as far as mods)!! Thats what amazes ME! LOL!

I agree with the knock-off parts.. but I think he's safe on eBay for that small amount of item. PayPal is always QUICK to take my monies, or put them on "hold" for every little eBay buyer who cries and says my item wasn't delivered, or wasn't "as" described. They pull the funds from sellers at God speed! Now I don't know if they give it to the seller hahaha but they take it from the Buyer.

I have done LED's all around (V-Led's), Illuminated Sills (OEM), spoiler (OEM), Ambient light kit (OEM) all installed myself along with tint so don't be a wise a$$. No, I haven;t done performance MODS, don't need them and I don't want warranty crap from the dealer.

Let me know in a year or two when your spoiler starts to come loose or cracks/warps ... then talk smack...geesh

It's a lot harder to get Paypal to pull the funds back now. A few years ago I ordered a Taylor Made R7 driver, turned out to be a knockoff, Paypal pulled the money back from the sellers account to mine right away. Bought UGG's last year for my daughter, they were knock-offs. I had to spend a LOT of time to get Paypal to help me get my money back.

If he wants to buy it ... so be it. If it turns out to be a great spoiler that fits right and last's, that great .... if not, he was warned.

Don't you find it odd that the seller doesn't even show a picture of exactly what they are selling but rather use a generic spoiler pic?

LOL.. hey I'm with you MAN.. I bought the spoiler w/ the car, and don't support knock-off's AT ALL, I don't even like the AIT kit everyone calls the "Top Secret" bodykit.. it is NOT the Top Secret bodykit.. And I don't know why people buy 40k+ cars and want to put cheap parts on them. I was just saying from being an eBay seller, they pull monies from me for the dumbest things, i'll tell you this.........

Some idiot claimed my PS3 was "dented' when he got it, e-mailed me, I told him I'm not refunding anything, I bubble wrapped it, foam and a large box, I knew he was scamming me. Not even 20 mins later, I KID YOU NOT, the funds for the whole transaction were "frozen" from my paypal account. It's insane, as a seller they don't ask me anything, then I need to jump through hoops to get my funds back.

How many of you on this forum own a "legit" top secret kit? Not AIT...(aside from rys6mt).. Same concept as buying off eBay.. AIT TS kit is still a "reproduction" of the original product. I could see why saving a few bucks on a spoiler isn't such a bad thing.

I've got all name brand high quality mods on my car... And I'm interested in this spoiler. Gonna check out Rauls next time I see him.

AIT vs true TS is in NO WAY WHATSOEVER th same as buying off eBay (IMO).

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

Agreed. Many of these sellers peddling body kits, etc. do not offer a return policy and you are stuck with what you get. This dealer does though if not 100% satisfied for any reason. That says a lot being that PayPal sides with Buyers more frequently in my experience...

I'll tell you what though, Raul's looks nice and no different than OEM!

I'd love to save a $350 on the spoiler so I can spend it on more important things like the TransGo valve body upgrade <-- Next mod!

How's the quality of material they used for these, Raul?

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?
