factory spoiler or aftermarket imitation
 

Hi this is my first post and I was wondering what the difference was in the factory spoiler for the coupe vs. the aftermarket one that they also sell at the dealership. By the way I have an 05 coupe (black). They already gave me a pretty good price for both spoiler(factory) and splash guards installed. They also said that there is no visible difference between the two. Money-wise there is a difference of a couple hundred dollars. Thanks alot!

the leds are usually way diffrent from oem and replica,im still looking for an oem,anyone?

yes the LCD is different as well as the corners, the main diffrence is the factory has a warranty which is woth its werght in gold if you have a problem.

Thanks for the replies so far... but I still don't know how to tell the difference. (basically I'm having a hard time finding a close up photo of the factory vs. aftermarket) I'm going to get the factory spoiler in a few days and I want to make sure that I am getting the oem spoiler. Can anyone post a photo of at least one of these spoilers? Thanks for the help!

I think I've seen an aftermarket factory spoiler in action but i'm not 100% sure. It looked exactly the same but the 3rd brake light on it wasn't very bright. I think you should go factory. I do know that when my ex roommate first got his 2000 Accord coupe, he had an aftermarket replica installed. About a year later it started to leak and water got inside of the 3rd brake light and shorted it out. He went out to buy a factory replacement but found out that it was 1/2 inch too long and couldn't use it.

So I would assume there are differences, but they're so subtle that you can't tell unless you had both of them in hand to compare closely.
