Ebay OEM spoiler

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2010-...item2eaf249914

I found a really cheap OEM sedan rear spoiler on ebay. I guess it looks like a legitimate OEM spoiler but the low price makes it seem a little sketchy to me. I don't normally buy things on ebay so I don't know how common it is receive replica items when they're being sold as OEM.

Also it doesn't come with installation instructions and the necessary mounting bolts/screws.

What do you guys think? Worth the "risk"? I don't want a wavy spoiler haha

For that price I don't think it's a good quality spoiler. I keep. I rather pay the $300 for the OEM, that having something cheap, with cheap paint. But you never know.

Other members have ordered OEM knockoffs from ebay and had pretty good results.
This particular one says it's OEM, not an OEM copy.

Brand new, OEM, for that price... I'd ask a few questions.

Thanks for the input guys. So it's most likely a replica being sold as an authentic OEM piece?

If I were to buy it, is there any way to tell if its really authentic? Like a Nissan sticker or something? The seller doesn't accept returns so I would most likely have to go through the ebay buyer protection if its a pos. Dunno if its worth the headache...

Give him a call and ask him. Maybe he has a hook-up. He has more than 10 of them. But you know to paint it factory color is pretty pricy. The worst is that you can't return it.

If it's authentic OEM for that price, and if he has one with the camera hole, I'm more than likely in for one as well.

Spend a lil more dough for OEM. Don't half as$ anything on your car. You'll regret down the line.

Oh yeah for sure. There's no way I'm going to buy that spoiler after 04G35NYC's post.

Beshoff Infiniti seems to be most reputable seller with the lowest price.

Nothing wrong wtih buying a spoiler that is not OEM; Just have to buy from a seller that makes their own spoilers. Spoilerdepot as an example. Why pay hundres more for OEM when you can get the same style spoiler that fits just like OEM?
