Alternative to SSS Spoiler sighted on ebay??

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2008-...item230e733c6b

Looks like they are offering it painted in factory colors?? What do you all think?? Is it legit? Close enough to the original SSS unit?

Input please

looks like its prob just a Chinese knock-off of the SSS. Might be ok, or quality might be crap. I know it'd have to be much much cheaper than that for me to take the risk when I can get a CF SSS spoiler for almost the same money :-)

buying a slightly used one form a member would be the best option. I've seen some go for under 400ish

scorpion motorsports sells quality parts, but for the evo x tall spoiler i recommend the x-factor spoiler. http://www.x-factordesign.com/x1/productsevox.htm

This. After shipping/import fees/etc. you can buy a quality CF wing and have it painted.

Have you ever brought anything from there? Do you know anything about their quality?

You buy a spoiler from them?? I'll admit the guy responded to me, and set everything up. But I am very hesitant to pull the trigger on this deal, especially since the stuff is coming from Singapore!

Or I could go the carbon route and have it painted.

From scorpion, a few local lancers have their V lip, its good and shipping was very quick. Their customer service is good from what people say. i also have a Vlip but its from road race who basically copied scorpions v lip (bought the road race one because i got it used for 75% less from a local owner)


from xfactor ? bought a painted vortex generator from them a few months after i got my gts...its been over 2 years now and the VG is in great shape and the paint is holding up better than mitsubishis paint.

Reason i say xfactor over scorpion, is because ive seen more of their parts in person and their quality is pretty good.

i think the x factor spoiler would be the best bet , they are a vendor over on 9glancers.com .

to see the quality of their spoiler check







and yes this is the xfactor spoiler, its made to be very close to OEM
