Aftermarket rear spoiler
After countless hours searching for an original STi rear spoiler for my crystal grey hawkeye to replace the frankly ridiculous carbon monstrosity currently sitting atop the boot, I'm considering an aftermarket alternative. Don't want to touch anything GRP but maybe a "standard size" carbon or this one in ABS

I could get an original in blue or black (plenty to be found) but once you add the respray cost to the going rate of about £300 for the spoiler, it's getting pricey
Your thoughts please?

Matt has had a few, been offered a black one. Word on the street is that crystal grey is rare as hens teeth

If you are going to have an aftermarket one sprayed TBH you are better off buying an OEM one and spraying that.

How about this one?

Only concern is that is coming from overseas and may get damaged in transit, and the fact that it "requires drilling"
Your thoughts please?

Very true, returning damaged goods abroad is a painful process
