Default Thoughts on spoiler

Here is the spoiler I was looking at? Want to get some opinions. $149. Is there any drawback to ABS plastic. Is that what the factor one is made of? Should I have them paint it or just find some one local to do it? Has anyone delt wish this company? Thanks for your help.

Understandable. What about the ABS plastic, is there anything wrong with that material?

ABS plastic is the best possible material for body parts. It's bendable, and lightweight. Be careful of FRP...while some are better than others, generally it's weak, and a small fart will crack it. JDM people will tell you a different tune though....

Beware of this place. I ordered and got lucky and was able to return. The paint matched but the spoiler didnt fit.

Stick to oem.
