Painted spoilers for a buck fifty?

Just wondering if this is legit..seems too good to be true. Most spoilers this style I see go for $300-$500 on retailer/vendor websites.

seems legit and his seller rating is pretty good

from my experience on ebay especially if you paid with paypal then you have the seller by the balls...if you get a crappy product then just say he sent you a product not as described to force a refund...ebay usually sides with the buyer and the seller gets screwed nowadays

Good question. I'm under the impression that most people stay away from drilling holes anyways. Are there downsides to tape only?

nope. $1.50 would be 'a dollar fifty'.

Bucks = multiple dollars.

Buck = 1 hundred dollars.

No, a buck is only 1 hundred dollars. Not 1 dollar.

That's about what I paid (shipped) for an OEM BRZ spoiler used from this forum. You can find lots of deals for used stuff. I wonder how well a 3M taped lip like that would last? I had a small lip that taped on to my GenCoupe and it lasted well for the year I had it, but it was a lot smaller than this one.
