I bought a replica spoiler for my 2004 4Runner from Spoilerdepot (www.spoilerdepot.com) and it was terrific. In fact I got it on ebay instead of their site and the painting was included...shippped and painted it cost me $165. Now I have my 06 G and I'm waiting for them to offer the new, smaller spoiler and I'll buy it from them again.
Overall very pleased with their spoiler.

I bought my G coupe last summer under the agreement to include front and rear aero parts. The first wing was clearly aftermarket with a different LED shape (than factory) and the color match was way off (pearl white). This was clearly a scam on the dealers behalf to charge me one thing and provide a cheap alternative.
After they ordered an OEM part (pre-painted in the perfect color) and in the factory box, I realized the Third Brake Light dilemma. The one on the package tray had to go.
I ended up spending an extra $225 for a replacement package tray without the brake light hole. Nothing looks worse to me than seeing dual third brake lights - poor attention to detail.

As regards the spoiler. I bought an ebay OEM replica. It fit perfectly and the paint matched perfect as well. No issues at all after almost a year. It is lighter than the OEM so no need to change out the trunk shocks.
