Does Anyone Have This Spoiler

It appears to be a Exotics Tuning CF Replica. The ebay seller is 4AMotors, and is somewhat well known for selling okay quality stuff. Wondering if anyone on the forums has this installed, and keep speak to the fit and quality.

I'm thinking of picking the whole kit (diffuser/lip) up from a different seller in Taiwan. I'm travelling there in August and was going to the factory to take a look at it myself and bring it on the plane with me.

I don't like the fact that 4AMotors is stealing pictures of an authentic version installed. For all you know, the fitment might be crap.

Also, most of China's replicas are known to use a CF fabric layer and then clear coating it. I would recommend you to know at least the difference so you can examine it when you get it.

At the end of the day, what I really care about is the fitment. It doesn't much matter to me if it is all carbon fiber. Also, 4A claims that those are their own pictures.

You will care about it when your clearcoat starts cracking and I can tell you from personal experience it'll be very apparent.

Also, the pictures on the ebay link has watermark by AUTOFANS. which is a complete different seller. If you google AUTOFANS taobao, you'll see a different store by autofans on taobao. (taobao is the China version of eBay).

I'm not saying 4AMotors is selling bad products. However, just want you to make sure you are ok with the risk you're taking.

I appreciate your input. I looked into it more and 4amotors and autofans are actually the same company. In the end, I ordered the M performance replica from JB Speed instead, as they are a vendor here and the product is on a number of forum members cars.
