Anyways, as for this topic.. I hope someone can point me to a ebay seller they've had success with. But so far all the listings look identical to me and they're probably all from the same chinese factory anyway. Will just go for the lowest price as long as seller has 99%+ feedback if no one has a suggestion in the next week or so.
Agreed. I'm all for giving companies credit, but when they raise the price up, just because its a Brand name company, I don't really see how that helps the car community. Everything, even for a simple lip, its fairly expensive. I know some material cost more and such, but still over priced for most items. That's why some parts, eBay seems like a good buy (Except performance parts lol).

Hopefully you can find one that fits well or requires little work to make it fit well, since I'm in the market for one also.

Mine's not as aggressive as the ModBargains one, I have the TRD rep in CF, but the fitment is sub-par. It's a definite 5 footer piece. Middle sits flush, edges are a bit too high (few mm). and the bottom basically has a 1/8th inch gap all the way around, but man, I do love it.

This is my ebay purchase - TRD Rep, Painted. Color is spot on. Zero fitment issues. This is when ebay goes right. I believe the seller was OEMDirect. $170ish for a painted, perfect fit. Ill take that any day.

Ah damn, I looked em up and it def looks good. But sadly no CF or paint-matched option for my CWP BRZ.

Maybe I'll grab this and put a carbon wrap on it.. hmm

Somebody, PLEASE.

Duck bill = mouth

Duck TAIL = rear

Which sounds more like a spoiler to you?

Just ordered a TRD replica on eBay from oemdirect also, prepainted ultramarine/galaxy blue. I had good luck on an eBay spoiler on another car, fingers crossed for this one. Pretty cheap if it doesn't turn out well. Couldn't seem to find an actual TRD prepainted my color, and wanted to save the money. Hopefully I'll be happy like BDotG.

1. All the manufacturers for the FT86 call em duckbills.

2. The slope is also less aggressive, more like a duck's mouth than a duck's tail.

3. Who cares?

Ikon I have had good luck with, plus they have good customer service. ModBargain? Be carefull terrible product at twice the price and they will hide behind we told you it might need adjusting but they never told you how much adjusting. Ikon is the way to go, and save yourself some money.

I have the modbargains one on my car, and fitment wasn't perfect-I did sand some of it.

And if fitment is way off, they can be returned.

And Hell, theres been a few now that get installed at the shop and they literally bolted right on, with zero fitment issues.
