Spoiler update for '13 BRZ - TRD 86 wing vs. ModBargains Duckbill

[tobin]

Greetings,

Thanks to a paint protection warranty, I am finally going to be updating the spoiler on my '13 BRZ with either a TRD 86 wing (or knockoff), or a ModBargains duckbill. This is going to be installed/painted by a body shop. Many thanks to the Complete Wing list for trunks with OEM holes thread.

I remember the TRD wing being really popular a while back. Is anybody making these any more? It seems to be either sold out, or out of production everywhere. I don't mind spending a bit more for a quality item, hence I'm staying away from those $60 ABS plastic TRD knockoffs.

Is the Modbargains piece...ricey? I'm trying to avoid that. The pictures I've seen look great, but I've never seen it in person. The rest of my car is pretty much stock, so I kind of want to keep things OEM looking.

I'd like the fit and finish of either piece to be acceptable for a body shop to prep and paint without issue, and would like the piece to hold up for years to come. Any input would be appreciated.
