A little help needed- oem spoiler

I'm gonna also check to see what the one the dealership sells cause I can always sue my discount even though I'm sure it will still be more expensive. Anyone know if they dealership ones are better then ebay, are they the same material?

Re: A little help needed- oem spoiler

Dealership will want way too much.

Heres some good info. I purchased my spoiler from that second link u posted up. Seller is Jaeeagle. Great person to buy from. Perfectly matched paint, perfect spoiler. Brake light is great.. and perfect fitment. Comes with everything necessary to put this on besides a drill. Its a great spoiler and looks just like oem. Super fast shipping. I had mine within 5 days of buying.. and it came packaged up very nicely.. like if it couldnt get damaged at all. So, if you do buy it, then go with that guy. OEM spoilers look great on our cars IMO. If i didnt get oem, id go with one of those trunk lid mini spoiler ones but...this one is good enough for me. hope that helps..

Re: A little help needed- oem spoiler

there are pros and cons of each. dealer spoiler has a good brake led light, the ebay one has a sucky one thats dim and burns out fast (but you could always custom make your own leds and stick it in there). another thing is some ebay ones weigh tons less, i dont even think you need the upgrade trunk shocks to hold the lid up which saves alot of weight and install time. personally i would go with the ebay one. i think the main problem with the leds are its made for 12v and car gives it 14v so over time they burn out. you could just wire a 12v voltage regulator on the power wire from radioshack and that should keep them working. idk i have a sedan and dont like the spoiler look, but on coupes its nice.

I think the hybrid spoiler looks pretty cool on most.

Re: A little help needed- oem spoiler

try the 12v voltage regulator, theyre cheap and it may prevent the leds from burning out.

Re: A little help needed- oem spoiler

leds should never burn out tho if wired properly. the thing is most companies dont realize that cars put out 14+v when turned on, not 12v like the battery. thats why all those ebay headlight leds burn out too. they will last a while being overdriven, but if they were wired properly they should last 100,000 hrs or more. now there are heat problems too from having them out in the sun that will affect their life, but they should still last longer. with a regulator, it makes sure they only get 12v instead of 14. cause chances are, they are wired for 12v only. alot of oem cars didnt get this right either and start to have burnt ones. others like to really push the leds to their max and make them blinding, but they wont last more than a year or two doing that.
