Making my own spoiler would not be tremendously beneficial. Considering that I have a pretty good idea what I am doing and I figure it would take me at least 100Hours to get it perfect...
my time is worth more than 4.50 an hour.

Those prices are not that bad, considering that when they were available (spoiler) they were close to $1000 from the dealer!And it was made of the same crap as the original.I will be getting the spoiler soon since mine is starting to look like crap also.

I was actually quoted $1500 for an origninal a few years back from a bump shop, when mine sustained some damage...

Man, prices for originals are ridiculous. And I thought the fiberglass prices were. I'd rather have a 'glass one anyway. Hrm.

From EVERYTHING I have read & seen GTAuto Accessories Spoiler has been exceptional... no problems with fit, and the quality is outstanding... OF course thats depending on the condition of your car...
