OEM Spoiler w/Brake Light Help

Hey guys,

I have been looking for the OEM spoiler with the break light (obviously per the title) and can't seem to find a good place to purchase it. I have asked Rick over at riverside if the carry them but it has been over a week now with no response. I would like to purchase it unpainted if possible as I have heard the paint quality is not the best as it fades and chips easy. I would trust my auto body guy to do the paint matching as he is a good friend of the family.
Unfortunely, I haven't had much luck finding a place to buy the spoiler. I called my local infiniti and they told me they do not carry them anymore. I came across this website and wonder if any of you guys have ever bought from them before as I am a bit sceptical of these sites.

http://www.cardata.com/spoilers/Infiniti_spoilers.htm

If you guys have any feedback on the site or have any suggestions on where else to purchase it painted or unpainted I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

I have seen those but for $100 I am worried about the quality of the spoiler. Maybe I am wrong but seems like too good to be true kind of deal.

If I remember correctly, the wiring on those spoilers comes in from the wrong end of the spoiler, but it's a fairly easy workaround to fix.
Otherwise, several people have them and seem to be happy with the quality and color match.

Rick doesn't get to PMs very often... he's too busy.
Phone -> email -> PM... in that order.
Call him and he'll help you right on the spot.

Plan on spending $600 on the 07+ wing spoiler and $400 on the lip style, if you decide to go OEM.

I've had mine on the week I bought the car so its been there for 1 year now. My body shop was even amazed at the quality of the paint and the match (Ivory Pearl is tough). Take my advice if you want, it doesnt really matter to me. If you want to save money, buy the one on ebay. If you dont like saving money, buy an OEM one.

Thanks for all the help Ketchup. Your making me feel a lot better about it. I'm just confused about their color codes now. I have Plat/Diamond Graphite but they list that as some different code should be K51 which they list as Grey Metalic I believe. Send them an email to see which one I should be ordering. Glad to hear that you have had yours for a year now and very happy with it.

I thought I would post an update for all those looking to set the spoiler. I have had the spoiler for a few weeks now and ketchup was right, it came out awesome! I has purchased it from http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/a...ndspoilerking/ very low cost and the paint match was perfect. Thanks again for the help Ketchup! I thought I would put up a few pics for anyone looking to pick one up from them.
