Default Any thoughts on non-OE newage STi spoiler?

Similar to this:

ABS PLASTIC SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI VERSION 7 8 9 REAR BOOT SPOILER GDA/GDB

I have heard a story of these sagging etc. are they worth the risk or is OE the only way to go ?

Any useful input / pics fitted would be good

Just make sure if you intend to fit wing stiffies in it that the spoiler can be split into two to allow fitment, a lot of the aftermarket spoilers are one piece despite looking like they are two piece.

If it were me having gone down this route myself with my first Impreza I would try and find a second hand spoiler, I believe B4D HK had one for sale for £220.

The fit and quality of the aftermarket spoiler I bought was shocking, it was supposed to be prepped and ready for paint, it was only good for the bin and I sent it back for a refund.

dont bother with a replica mate, pay the little extra you wont regret it, no sags, lumps, bumps,cracked fibreglass with hours of prep
