Installed my new GT/CS spoiler this afternoon. Bought it off eBay at The Spoiler Store I think it was. Arrived fairly quickly and packaged very well.
Paint matches well. Hardest part was getting the old adhesive off and cleaning up the decklid. I wanted a substantial spoiler for the back of my car as I only had the tiny little lip spoiler from the factory. Definitely beefs the back end up a lot. I was against drilling holes in my trunk so I just attached it with the 4 screws and for the front part of the pedestals, I may use a small piece of 3m double sided adhesive or something. It'll be ok as is for a couple days until I figure out how I can discreetly secure the front end of the pedestals.
Only complaint was the rear holes didn't match up with the factory holes perfectly. Took some real wiggling and pushing to get 2 screws in. The other two were easy. Overall good for an eBay spoiler. If it breaks or starts to deteriorate ill probably take it off for a GT500 or RTR spoiler but I like this one as long as it holds up.

Thanks. Yeah I've seen that one and debated that one too. Definitely good looking also. I just wasn't a fan of the small stock one they put on these cars. Just not substantial enough for my liking.

Yeah they have a list of colors they keep in stock for that price. Race red was not a color they keep usually so I had to pay a little extra. No big deal. Still half of the price of the one from American Muscle

[QUOTE=fdjizm;6771512]I bought my gt500 wing from the spoiler store 3 years ago, still looks good and fits perfect.
Would you happen to remember how long it took to get to your home,after you ordered it?

That's a great price. I just checked them out, and seem pretty good. I was looking at the GT500 spoiler they have for the 10-14, but it seems different than all the other oem or 3d carbon spoilers Can anyone chime in on this?

Yeah the one they advertise as a GT 500 spoiler is really not the one that we all know. It's more of a hybrid between the camera spoiler, a gt500 and a ducktail. But you're correct that it is not the same as a 3dcarbon or similar gt500 spoiler.

Review and comparison of both. "GT 500 spoiler CS 3d Carbon"
3d carbon is a knockoff. Spoiler store is a knock off of a knock off. No offense.
