What's the difference in these spoilers?

Is one held with 3M tape and the other bolted? Is the look different? What do you guys prefer? And ones ALOT more $$

If you want a spoiler get the one for the 07 TypeS it's considered a part and not an aftermarket item, so it costs about $100. Do a search for Type S spoiler here and you'll see some that have put it on.

(In case someone clicks on this thread)... I own the "cheap knock off" and couldn't be happier. Great color match (anthracite), easy to install, it doesn't look cheap at all, and believe me... the thing is STUCK on there and not going anywhere.

HOWEVER, it IS significantly (25-30%) smaller than the OEM version. If you're looking for anything bigger than what's seen on, say, the BMW M3, then look elsewhere.
