Ebay stock spoiler replacement?

What do you all think of this spoiler to replace the stock. Has anyone ever bought one? I am curious about the quality and ease of installing. Thanks

Talking

Personally, I always thought the Box spoiler was laughable. If it were me, I would look around for a real spoiler that was fixed in nature.

But then, that's just me!

Seems overpriced to me... there's not much to it, is there?

I also wonder if makes the spoiler just decorative. The factory one is solid and does force the back end down at high speeds, even if it's not big enough for Richard.

So I assume size IS important with some things, huh?

I got a strosec spoiler that looks just like that one.


Its fairly easy to install yourself but it is purely decrative. It provideds no down force whatsoever. The air simply does through it. It but does look bad ass when its up
If you do only in town driving then you wouldn't notice the difference between stock. But, like myself, I just moved so I have to take the freeway to my office everyday and I really notice a big difference and I am going to put the stock one back on next month.

Strosek came out with a spoiler like that years ago. No clue if that is what is on ebay or a copy. I have seen the Strosek version on a local car.

One of our local guys came up with his own version 3 years ago.

See, now these are the worst kinds of modifications that one can do, in my opinion. These take something that is functional and ruin ALL of its functionality for the sake of dubious aesthetics.
