    I'm considering buying a rear spoiler. The Parts Place has one for $239 and Year One's is $355. I'd much prefer the cheaper version as long as quality is acceptable. I don't have to have a "perfect" GSX spec spoiler; just want the look. Anybody have problems with the TPP version or know why I need to pay over a hundred more for the Year One version?

    I like the quality of the Parts Place item from just a looksee. I have not atempted to install one. I have seen one in person.

    i bought a spoiler from parts place a year or so ago, its currently at the body shop for paint. i will post some pics in a week or so if you can wait. the quality and primed finish seemed good and because i don't want to use the supplied gaskets, just needed some minor sanding/tweeking on the mount area to get a nice fit on the trunk. I'm happy with what they sent to me? Gord

    i ordered mine from opgi $209+ship and it came w/ the mounting hardware. and guess what the part numbers on it start w/ TPP so pretty sure they are just getting them from tpp and selling the whole package cheaper. not installed yet but bringing to the body guy on tues. looks good quality i,m satisfied now to see how it fits. oh it did take about a month to get it, so don't wait till the last second to order it

    I bought mine from The Parts Place and it fit great and looks great. No issues.

    A year ago I purchased one from Year One and it was crap. I sent it back. The quality was horrible. I reordered from Poston and was very pleased. It only required light sanding prior to painting. Of course Poston is struggling now so probably better to go with TPP.
