Spoiler for E92

Socket · 02-01-2015, 05:06 AM

Been trawling Ebay for rear spoilers
Literally hundreds to choose from

Anyone had good (or bad) experiences dealing with Ebay vendors??

lemonpark · 02-01-2015, 05:10 AM

i've got spoilers from ebay before for my Lexus and the fitment was good. The ones I got were from Taiwan. I'm sure if its just the M Performance one that it'll fit pretty good. I wouldn't get anything too much bigger from ebay (for reps). Genuine stuff should fit perfect anyway. friend got a rep Amuse CF boot and fitment is pretty shitty.

+1 to limepark

I had good experience with a replica caractere rear spoiler for my b8 a4 at 1/5th of the genuine price... fitment was 80-90%; good enoigh for me. a word of caution, don't use a brick to help the double sided tape to set in whilst the boot is upright... my brick fell off onto the boot of the e88 parked behind it lmao

which item are you looking at?

Socket · 02-01-2015, 05:39 AM

Probably something like this..... noted - do not use bricks LOL

I'd buy genuine but $700-$800 is a bit rich

naynay · 02-01-2015, 04:45 PM

i got mine from marsperformance for about 300. still in good knick

waterbottle1 · 02-01-2015, 06:47 PM

Your right.. you wouldnt wanna spend 800 on a genuine ... think of all the other stuff you could buy ?

i got mine from ebay too, mine came from taiwan
fitment and quality is perfecto. bought mine in 2013 and its still looks brand new.

I have the m3 lip rep from a Taiwan eBay seller.
Fit was great. Looked a little cheap from underneath but once on it looks mint. Paint is perfect match too

Cost 80 shipped I think. I was mighty impressed for the price.

Sounds like you get what you pay for, thanks for the feedback peps

Yeh it's all being used up on spoilers, splitters and front lips thankfully Lemon has found a substitute that is tougher, disposable and cheaper than CF

I went with eBay replica initially, as soon as I saw and felt the genuine BMW one I was sold! Quality, fitment and weight of item are not in the same ballpark.

Yup you get what you pay for!

Trouble is most guys these days have the mentality of cheap is good enough!

Hardly cheaper. They're using a CNC machine to carve some plastic to shape, and charge $400 for it.

Suddenly $600 for carbon fibre doesn't seem so bad.

Yep, front bar, side skirts and CF hood.

All of which fit extremely well.

Isn't this thread about a spoiler?

Socket · 02-04-2015, 06:45 AM

How about these??

Low profile subtle look or more aggressive ??

Pyro335 · 02-09-2015, 05:04 PM

End up finding one Socket?

Im also looking for one to chuck on my car. Either the M3 lip type or performance. Not sure if i should go Ebay or one of the sites (ie mars/carshine/other)
