Aftermarket OEM-style Painted Spoiler for $200-Good Idea or Bad Idea?

My 02 ABP TLS does not have a rear spoiler on it. I was thinking of adding one when I get a few $$$ ahead again.
I have seen several websites which offer them, supposedly painted to your color code, for around $200.

Anyone have experience/knowledge with these cheap ones?
What should I watch out for and what should I look for when buying one?
If I bought one, would it be a POS I would soon regret?

I think someone on ebay is selling OEM (not OEM style, but actually OEM) spoiler for $200, not sure if they have your color though.

about a year ago I bought the OEM style one on ebay. I just never got around to installing it but im about to do it soon. It was good quality and the paint matched perfectly. I would recomend it since I think it was only around $180. And I just noticed you're from Little Rock. Im from West Helena if you know where that is. I pass by Little Rock every time I go to Fayetteville.

The spolier changes the entire look for me..
Goes from family sedan to a 4 door sports car.

If the trunk section didn't go "down" and was flat like the accords of that period, it wouldn't look so bad imo.

But the downslope craves a spoiler.. Its a shame acura charges $650 WITHOUT installation.
