Anyone got a Ducktail spoiler yet?

Has anyone been able to get an OEM or replica ducktail spoiler yet?

I've been thinking about trying to get one through CreativeCarbon, anyone had any experiences with him so far?

Kenny,
Mine will be here within the next few days. Just the plain white fiberglass version CC was selling. I will take it to my buddies body shop to be painted then figure out the best way to mount it, etc. I hope to have it on within the next 30 days or so...I will post pics once it's on. Chris

What do you mean it's in bad condition Benz? I was gonna buy it from CC, but I'm just wondering if I can trust sending money to him. He wants me to pay directly via Paypal.

...And thanks for the replies guys

You mean someone mentioned not perfect condition and you bought it without asking for pics?

Me and pcdawg both got the ducktail from Creative Carbon, we bought 3 from him and he only accpet Bank Direct Transfer instead of Paypal. After we paid, it takes about 4 days to arrived Toronto from Singapore, very efficient. However, the spoilers that we received was in a below avg. condition. There's some dent/hole here and there, a small crack on one of those too. This is due to POOR packaging. He only use THIN bubble wrap to wrap around all 3 spoilers, and then wrap around w/ Parcel paper (The dark-green one), NO BOX NOTHING. We mentioned it back to Creative Carbon and he promises to improve next time.

I would like to clear 3 things.

1. The cheapest price I found to FIX and PAINT the spoiler, cost $140CAD, the others gave us a quote like $250CAD. So together you are looking to spend about $200USD to have this replica, may spend a lil' more on the real Spoon Ducktail.

2. I'm in no form of helping Creative Carbon for selling his spoiler, I'm just here to answer thes questions w/ review on what I got.

I'm not sure if that "Ducktail" thread been deleted, or locked. But you can do a search. In the page2 and 3 on that thread, Creative Carbon posted a Carbon Fibre Ducktail, a regular Blue Ductail, and Carbon Fibre Exhaust Guard. From the picture that we saw, it's flawless. I'm guessing the spoilers that he shown us before are painted, as well in good condition. That's why we bought it, it came un-painted.
