Suggestions on rear spoiler

Right now my 2005 TL is completely stock and it looks a little boring so I want to upgrade it a little, I'm thinking I'll start by tinting and adding a spoiler and the shaved door mod (don't want to spend too much), does anyone recommend a good source for the rear spoiler? I did a search on Ebay and got a ton of listings each claiming that it was "higher quality" than the next

2005 TL w/Navi
SSM/Quartz

I got mine from Trimking1. A lot of people said he was the best. I got it in the time I was quoted, about a week, and it matched my paint perfectly. Unfortunately my first spoiler developed some small cracks in the paint along the bottom edge. I let trimking know this and they sent out UPS to pick it up, and then they sent me a brand new one all for free. In retrospect, I think I probably caused the cracks myself by flexing the spoiler slightly when I got it.

I reccomend this seller because they treated me well, with no hesitation to replace it.

I ended up getting a wing spoiler from trimking as well, I was sold by the fact (hope it's true) that they provide spoilers to 100 dealers, I figure if they are good enough for dealers it should work for me

I am sure they are telling you the truth - that they sell spoilers to 100 dealers....wouldnt suprise me at all. What worried me about it was hearing cracks, ect. that later occurred....they ALWAYS were willing to replace at no cost in EVERY case I have read....but I cant appreciate doing something twice that I could have done once just because I didnt buy the OEM part. Just my for what thats worth?

I am sure you will get a good spoiler...they certainly are willing to back it up from what I have heard. I just worried about the long term and how it would hold up to freeze, ect. over the years....
