I bought and aero version off eBay for around $110. It is excellent quality.

When you go to install it put the spoiler in the sun for a while. Then start mounting it in the center and use a metal putty knife to help slip the ends onto the edges of the fender lips. The install should take no more than five minutes.

OEM is a waste of money for a disposable body part that can be found on eBay or elsewhere for cheap. If you want more functional aero, Joe Toth is the next step up.

Yes, Dock. I'll gladly pay $1000 for a OEM aero lip when I can get the same thing off eBay for $100. These are front lips, not bumpers or fenders where OEM is superior quality.

The Joe Toth piece is 2 piece, extends further out, etc..

And that's why I said "not for everyone". I'd have no problem paying that for a factory part (if of course I had the Aero package and needed that part).

Did he specify that he needed the Aero package front lip? Does he currently have a factory Aero front lip?

Is this your answer to my question regarding what way or ways this is more functional? Does extending further out equal "more functional aero"?

Thx you all
my major concern is fitment issue & whether stuff from ebay will have a different look from an oem one

if the above is not a problem, that's good enough as i will scratch it when passing over humps in car parks

Yup the eBay Aero and standard both fit fine I have used both. Now I have Joe Toth because its an actual splitter
