Does it have "NISSAN" on it anywhere? If not it's a replica. Does it fit perfectly? If not, replica. Is the price super cheap? Replica. Is it being sold by a reputable source that you trust to sell only authentic parts? No? Replica.

I bought it from 180 and I'm pretty sure what they're giving me is OEM but it doesn't hurt to make sure

That's pretty cheap. If you bought it from a dealership you can be pretty certain of its authenticity. If you bought it elsewhere, I might have some reservations. Is is stamped as a Nissan part?

Haha you read it wrong man. I bought it "from" 180 as in 180customs not for $180. Thanks for the help though, 180 has been lagging the shipment so I'm still waiting for it to arrive and I'll check for that Nissan stamp once it does

D'oh!!! Reading comprehension > me!

Are they claiming it was an authentic Nissan part? I don't know but I seriously doubt it becasue they make/sell replicas, not genuine parts. If you were looking for authentic you went to the wrong place.

The thread you linked to clearly states that it is genuine OEM, not a replica so you should presume that it is unless you receive it and find it to not be. The wait is par for the course for everyone outside of locals.

Finally received the spoiler from 180customs. Doesn't seem to say Nissan or Japan in the spoiler. Are you guys sure it's there?

There is a part # though

Did it come with an installtion guide printed from Nissan, or extra bumpers to replace the ones on your trunk lid (black rubber and plastic bumpers that install on the trunk lid), replacement trunk lid hydrolic struts?
