You usually do get what you pay for. The real BMW Performance spoiler is probably the best.

However, I work with composites, and there is about $10 worth of materials (if that) invested in making a spoiler. Knowing this, it hurts to pay $400-plus for so little.

Granted, a lot of time and expertise goes into making molds, but MAN, composite goodies are just way too overpriced.

The quality of the part is truly outstanding and I strongly doubt that the replicas can match the original on fitment alone. Never mind material and craftsmanship.

IMO, $400+ is more than fair price for such a high quality part.

Good luck!
