Type-S trunk lid spoiler

i came across this part on advanceautoparts. It says its an exact fit for my 07 type S and would like to know if anybody has purchased this before. The description says it comes with All necessary hardware (Pedestal Gaskets, Washers, Bolts & Locator Strips). I had my spoiler stolen a few years ago and dealer wanted $700 to replace it for some reason which I declined. Any input would be great. Here is the link.

It looks like a base lip spoiler, and it would be an exact fit so the website isn't lying about that, but the base spoiler probably isn't what you're looking for.

Hope that answers your question.

As to finding a Type-S spoiler, your best bet is to keep an eye out for part outs. The Type-S spoiler is much easier and cheaper to get your hands on these days. I picked one up locally for 100 CAD which is around 75 USD.
EndlessRPM is also coming out with a replica one for an awesome price.

Thank you for the response. I ended up purchasing it. After discounts and stuff ended up paying $70 so didnt feel like going around looking for a type S spoiler.

The Type-S spoiler is slightly bigger and more contoured vs aspec lip.
