ST^I spoiler, genuine or copy?
I have been looking on ebay for the last couple of month for an STI spoiler for my 03 WRX. The genuine ones seem to attract a lot of attention and go for about £350 I think. I have noticed various copies ranging from £70 to about £200.
Why the difference? Are they crap and don't fit? I reckon the build quality on the really cheap ones will be rubbish but looking at the more expensive ones it seems ok. From a photo. . .
Has anyone had any experience with these and should I avoid them? Does anyone know of any good copy brands?
Any info would be great, thanks.
Oh, does the original spoiler have a join in it. The top part coming off. The copy ones do but I suppose this could be filled?

Hi, the original factory STI spoilers do have a join in them - there is a top half and a bottom half screwed together. I bought a replica spoiler for my WRX from ebay from Brian Wilson spoilers, it came painted and they delivered it and fitted it for me and it was very good. I dont know if he still advertises on ebay because that was about two years ago. There are some really poor quality replicas on ebay so be carefull.
If I was looking now I would definitely buy a copy from ScoobyWorld or DR Motorsport Home.
These come painted and I believe they are really good quality and cost about £350 painted. A genuine STI spoiler from Subaru is about £800 +vat.
