Urethane will be the most forgiving (flexable) out of the 3 but make sure whom ever is prepping and painting does it correctly. It will be in the middle price range. Fiberglass will be inexpensive out of the 3 but will damage easily and may not last as long as carbon fiber or urethane. Carbon fiber will be very durable but can be expensive and will be the lightest.

Default Off the market vs original

Did anybody bought the rear spoiler from ebay? There're lots of them for sale from china, taiwan for the price of aprox. $120.00 painted too! the original one from the dealer goes over $600.00. So if anybody got one, how;s the quality, paint etc?

There is also a guy on E-bay out of Ft Laud that sells the polyurethane units primed or painted pretty reasonably.

I think the ones out of Taiwan are non-returnable and if they were, the price to ship back would be prohibitive.

Default carbon fiber

Bought a carbon fiber trunk spoiler out of california on ebay and the quality and fit was excellent. Only cost about $140 for my 2011 e350
