Cool OEM spoiler vs. ABS Plastic Ebay

Whats up guys.... looking to put an OEM spoiler on my '05 sedan.

Found a used one from an '04, but the guy is selling it to me at the same price as a brand new one from eBay!

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/PAINTED-2003-...98148943594859

Just wondering what the OEM one is made out of?
Is ABS Plastic considerably worse?

Insight is appreciated! Thanks!

I don't know what its made out of, But if the oem one is in good condition I would go with it, Anything oem is good and will prob cause you the least problems

just my opinion
good luck

I have heard of people having paint issues with the ebay OEM reps. I have the M3 rep, shipped/painted in Taiwan, and after 3 years the paint still matches perfectly and looks brand new. BTW I paid ~ $35 shipped for it I believe.

^^^ I also have the m3 rep lip....have had it for about a year and i love it....bought it because it was so cheap and was greatly pleased when it turned out to be decent quality both in paint and fitment!

Hmmm... I'm just hoping since its a bit of a wing, the eBay one isn't as flimsy!

This is my painted ebay wing. Fitment is great as is the paint. I think it was around $100 painted and shipped

Great! Thanks so much for the pictures 01yellowr.
How long have you had it on for? Did you find it to be flimsy at all? Any cracks and what not because of winter?
Thanks!

I'd always pick OEM over an aftermarket body part any day.
