He seems to be only to get them in Black now but you will no doubt need to have your front bumper removed and refinished to eliminate all the stone chips anyway and your body shop can paint the spoiler to match the bumper and car body at the same time. Don't forget to remove or mask the faux air intakes in the bumper -- they should be black. Mask that all important VIN tag on the front bumper. My spoiler sat in a box in my shed for 4 years before I had it mounted. (Side strakes are still in their box.)
Expensive bit of bling though. My cost:
New OEM spoiler: $377.95 (in 2015 dollars)
Body shop refinish and mount: $600.55 (in 2019 dollars)
Total: $978.50
For these spoilers I'm seeing £570 spoiler + £170 shipping to USA = £740 just for the spoiler delivered to you. That's $871 plus your front bumper refinishing costs.
the bayson R one is pretty good, it has mounting brackets on the bottom similar to OEM ones, and you don't have to constantly worry about scraps and cracking from steep ramps or speed bumps.
the current oem one is only available in silver, good for people with silver cars but any other color you will have to add 4-500 for repaint. that is 1200-1300 for a lip that can get damaged easily on not so perfect roads.

You're missing my point though.
I was replying to someone who said "someone should make a high quality rep"
I'm saying that replica lips do exist. But to make a rep that was as good as a factory lip would end up in the same cost ballpark as the a factory lip with the mark-up from the UK based seller.
Your point of view also doesn't make sense (to me).
Damaged easily? Have you ever owned an OEM lip? It shrugs off damage pretty well. You'd have to crash the car or smash curbs or ramp into driveways to damage it. And in the process, you'd damage the rest of your car.
Optionally, you could...just not do those things?
You're acting like its inevitable to break your lip or because its impossible not to smash into stuff or something.
How many reps have you damaged? Are you damaging lips every day? If you haven't busted up your replica lip...what makes you think you'd be any more likely to bust up your OEM one?
If you do scrape it up...does a scraped up rep look better than a scraped up OEM lip? They'll both look like scraped up lips, won't they? In fact...a scraped up factory lip will still look better than a scraped up replica lip...KnowwhatImean?
I get that spending $$ on a OEM lip isn't for everyone. I'm just not seeing the sense in your POV.
I've daily driven (through chicago winters) a lot of lowered cars with factory aero and never broken a lip even after hitting icebergs like the gd titanic.
My wife's car has factory aero. My in-laws borrow her car when they're in town. I've dailyed her car in NYC. Guess what's not damaged...or broken. The OEM aero. Because nobody is using it to level curbs or catch 80ft of air off jumps. Its easy not to hit stuff...
Also...the whole point of buying factory aero for your S2000 is to own something you'll be proud of and glad to take care of. Because you paid for something special.
