So I got priced 220 for a spoiler from ford and see the ebay specials for like 120, so is it worth it to buy the ford one? How's the quality of the repro? Or if anyone has a real one for sale let me know ha

I bought a repro, very happy with it and cheaper than OEM .Just my opinion.

You may run into fit & finish problems with a non OEM part.

I guess it matter who makes the part.

Unless you can get the same part from the same manufacture it's a crap shoot.

Well the guy at the parts counter said It was coming from the vendor not the parts warehouse so I'm thinking maybe the same people are making them

That would be a good bet.

I took off a aftermarket spoiler from the trunk lid and the guy had extra screws in from the back side so it would line up better......he had about 8 extra self tapping screws in it...

Sparta Performance has OEM rear spoilers for $200, I think Tousley and Tasca Ford still have them as well
