Breaker..........ALWAYS go for an OE one if you can afford it, save up if you can't, cheap copies are a false economy, trust me

+1, my GRP spoiler has an undulating surface, whereas the oem is glass smooth, you can only really tell by looking at reflections in the paintwork, but it annoys the hell out of me, also i have developed a hairline crack in one end panel, i have no idea what the polyurethane ones are like, i have asked many times, but have yet to get an answer regarding the difference between a Poly spoiler and an OEM. I regularly check EBAY for one that is in collectable distance. A brand new one is circa £800, or over a grand painted from a subaru dealer (even though they cost half that in the US).

As above: dear but worth it.
I paid £200 for my V6 one, it was listed on e-bay as "broken/repairable."

When it came, the "break" was the cover under the brake light, one end snapped off where the machine screw went through. A bit of styrene sheet, some ABS solvent from the model shop and half an hour had it welded as good as new.
