Evo 8 wing w/ Real CF?

Hey i was looking to order an evo 8 wing online for my RA and found this site thats selling an evo 8 wing with real CF: http://www.spoilersmart.com/showdetails.asp?id=SEV08&s=
Does anyone have any comments about this site? Because it seems kind of cheap ($199 USD) for this spoiler when even rrm is selling for $299..

It's cheap enough to make me suspicious, wonder how much they want for shipping. There's a vendor on here who sells them for a good price who is reputable. His username is calvinwch. Selling for $239, but I think they're Evo7 style.

I actually got to the site through ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33638
He has a really good rating on ebay... The shipping is $44 USD from ebay and i would think it would be the same price as the website because the price of the wing on ebay is the same as his website.

I'm hoping it's just not assembled. Or maybe they found that you get more lift when you put the wing portion flat against the trunk.

lol that looked funny to me too...but the wing isnt assembed...and they buy their products in mass quantity...which means cheaper prices...but more chances of the product being defective as well...just my .02

It's also not the same as the factory EVO 8 spoiler in that you can see that they have their inside pillars connected with 4 rivets in the corners and the evo 8 has them connected with the 4 larger rounded bolt looking things in a group just under the top carbon deck.

I am also checking out this spoiler. I've even e-mailed them to find out how sturdy/rigid the spoiler is. The responded saying this: "The spoilers that we are selling are sturdy which will not flex or vibrate during high speeds." I'll probobly go with them when i'm going to be buying a spoiler, it's just easier to trust someone who has a web business and is willing to stand behind their product and if anything goes wrong will be easier to reach I think.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to attach the wing to the side pillars as there are no drill holes on the outside of the pillars.. Do they drill it then paint over it?

After a series of emails between me and spoilersmart here is what i found out about the spoiler and pricing.

1. The wing is real carbon fiber.
2. The inside parts of the 2 pillars are CF look alike.
3. Shipping to Canada is $57 US.
4. Shipping method is USPS so no brokerage fee.
5. Duty of 4.9% may or may not apply at customs.

I will probably be ordering from them sometime in the near future. Hopefully all turns out well. Oh and o2thaq if you happen to order it before me lemme know so i can find out how it turns out
