looks like the factory foam spoiler, and my guess is, that it wont fit very well.

it looks pretty good. imo ive seen it on a few cars. you could most likely just double side tape that b**** and be fine.

does it sit flush or come up a little bit?

if it fits flush i think itll look ok, depending on the way your car looks!

I would consider getting one if i wasn't so Afraid my factory bolt holes would literally crumble when i try to take off the factory spoiler

That's the same type of spoiler I'm trying to get. Only in Carbon Fiber. It's a replica of the GP Sports Spoiler. If you get it, let me know how it fits. I might get one later on if I can't find a nice carbon fiber one and go with satin black.

+1 on being a GP Sports replica. I've been looking into getting one myself from PDM. Let us know on the fitment for this one

The 4 bolt holes are the least of your problems. There are also 6 holes the size of quarters for the snap-ons. The plastic snaps shrink with age and leak like crazy. Remove the hatch door interior panel and you can see what condition things are in.It's easy to repair with fiberglass so I would not delay.

He's not responding to my emails. I think it is because I live a few miles from him and he has stuff to hide. I'm guessing he is importing this stuff. Shipping takes 2-5 weeks.His ebay feedback is 58 which is ridiculously low for a business. No returns.

His website aeror.com has spelling mistakes which is one of the signs of a scam.

I would not buy that. The fitment will probably be very poor.Also, that picture looks photoshopped. The guys finger holding the piece on looks like a small arm lol

look for a real gpsports spoiler

At that point i stop even looking at the page.Regardless of how tasty the products he might be selling look.58 is a sign of terrible service.I dont deal with anyone who has less than 85 and a decent number of transactions.

A word of advice, dont do it, chances are you will start a thread a few days saying "I got scammed" or "Honda Integra wing for sale"

I emailed extreme dimensions(a NICO sponsor) about making a GP Sports spoiler replica. Possibly one in carbon fiber also because that's what I've been looking for. If it goes through, maybe we can set up a group buy. If you guys can give them a call that'd be great. I'd do it but I'm living in Seoul right now.

i can't believe nobody has ever thought of that!

i live 10 minutes from Extreme Dimension's warehouse. I'd lend them my car (which still has all the factory spoiler holes) but it's my daily driver and I'm sure they would need it for a long time. I'll mail them to show interest though.

fitment is pretty good. have to use a double sided tape for the end pieces. it does cover up your existing hole. you just need to widen a couple of them.

Thanks for sharing that info. I'll wait to se if Extreme Dimension will come out with anything. If not then I might have to settle for this ebay one.

Did you guys know if there are more sources aviable?

I´ve asked Dino from japandyno.com today.He told me that a OEM GP-Sports wing costs about ~600$. Used ones aren´t aviable yet.There are very rare in japan too.
