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.

Oh lemme tell ya... After my car got keyed, one of the best body shops in the State had trouble maching my BO. They got it right the second time but they had to throw the coding out the window and match it by sight. Those guys are good I tell ya. Fosters Autobody for those in the area.

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.
