dont get a spoiler from spoiler factory

i bought one a while back, they told me its the exact replica as the factory one,,got it, installed it, and now realized its a little different looking, its a little straighter and the led light doesnt look like it hangs off like on the real ones.. they wont take it back because i installed it, cant believe i didnt notice the difference.. i might still buy the real one because this is bugging me, but dont buy a spoiler from them,, the quality of the spoiler is great but just doesnt look like the real thing.

All knock off's look that way. The Acura one has to look different cause the way the LED mounts. They have to engrave the spolier with ACURA on the bottom of it. The knock off one I had on my 02 was the same as yours.

Does it look better than factory...post some pics! I don't like the bubble where the light is in the "Acura" spoiler.

I disagree... you may not care, but there are a lot of people on here (and who aren't online I'm sure) who do care.

anybody want my spoiler, I took it off cause it was rattling too much. I'll letting it go for cheap. It's just sitting in my basement, and my Pops is bugging me to get rid of it. It's anthracite, but you can paint it.
