Some fold them up like a pretzel to get them in small box to keep down shipping can actually damage them or at least mean they need to spend a coupled days in the sun to get out the creases... But all are made by the same company

Thats a great price ! I ordered one from the big three for considerably more. It also came folded in half. That was four years ago and its still in great shape. I would go for the good price.

That is a great price as I normally sell for $375 to $400 depending on availability.
I will match the price and throw in free shipping in the USA

I would be cautious as the add uses a part number 927 430 120 01 which does not exist in the Porsche system and the prefix 927 usually means RHD which is not the case for the spoiler.
I am not really making anything on the above offer I made but you can be sure you get the right part from us.

Before anyone buys parts from "Euro port parts" do a search on their name and you will see that they are not a good place to do business with.
Needed a part for my car searched Google and found Euro Port Parts www.europortparts.com
Placed the order for my part all via web ( didn't call their toll free number) Paid for my part and received a confirmation email shortly after that my order was placed.
after 2 weeks and still no package from Euro Port Parts I went back to their site to check on tracking of my shipment. Could never get the site show me any tracking information even though there is a tracking page where you can enter your order number to track. I would get an error message every time.
I then tried emailing their customer support to check on my order, I probably sent 4 emails over the next few weeks- none of the emails were answered. I also tried calling their toll free numbers on their site( They have two) 1-800-884-1090 and 1-800-618-9592. The second number connects you to a vacation sweepstakes company that tries to get you to take a free cruise to the bahamas, or on other tries wlaks you through a bunch of questions about your age etc. to qualify for a free 100.00 voucher for WalMart. The first Toll Free number just rings and rings- probably calling both over twenty times and at different times of the day but never once got through to anyone at Euro Port Parts.
After alomost giving up on ever getting my money back I decided to dedicate most of the day to really digging into this. After hours of online research I found out that Euro Port Parts was somehow conected to EOC Parts and Q&E Auto Parts. I found a real numebr for Q&E parts and reached a man there named Javier Anez. He agreed to refund my money. He said it should be in my account in 72 hours. We'll see. But at leats now I know who these people are. The Euro Port Parts website needs to be shut down or fixed immediately- there is no way for consumers shopping there to get in touch with the company. During my searches I found multiple people who were out much more money than myself and couldn't find these guys.
If your looking for Auto Parts don't shop with EOC, Q&E or especially Euro Port Parts as they have very shady business practices. I really hope with the growing internet businesses that there are agencies policing these companies and making sure that just like the good old Brick and mortar businesses that these new internet stores are folowing the law and providing the public with ways to get customer service.

The left trim is $124 new - Porsche part.
You may want to try 928 International for a used one.
Price for the spoiler is as already promised - I am glad you did not order from Euro Port Parts.

Roger to the rescue! Thats why this forum works so well.
I was so terrified of losing my money or getting a piece of crap, I went straight to Mark (928Int) for a new spolier regardless of the cost to ship to OZ. So glad I did, it arrived in pristine condition and un-bent!
Its the big 3 for me!

It didn't cost much more than the cheapest I could find.
Supporting the vendors who do a lot of work to help us out is just smart, IMO.
I'm as interested in a good deal as anybody else, maybe even more. But paying a little extra up front is well worth it in terms of peace of mind, the incredible amount of knowledge these guys have and their willingness to go the extra mile to make sure we get what we need.
The "Best Deal" isn't always the lowest price.
