If you like the ebay one then get it. The only obvious convenience with buying a OEM one from a dealership is that they can give you a spoiler in your exact paint color.

i think the build quality is pretty different too. i've seen a few spoilers with some LEDs that are out, most likely non-OEM. but the OEMs are pricey in comparison.

With something like that I would spend the extra money and buy OEM. That way you know it will fit and look right. Theres a reason Honda stuff is expensive, becuase its better than aftermarket crap.

OEM is so much greater in quality than anything else especially ebay. is like a ebay bumper and a oem. try hitting both and see which one gets more damage, i notice righ away.

i would suggest going with oem. You get what you pay for. I bought a similar spoiler for my 98 sedan it it cracked in the summer heat. handa-accessories.com has it for $360 if youre willing to spend it
