Default Type r spoiler

I was looking around on ebay for a new spoiler for my hatchback. I found one jdm type r spoiler and then a few type r style fiberglass spoilers.

My question is, has anyone purchased or heard if the fiberglass ones are any good? They are cheaper than the genuine jdm spoilers are, but I don't want to purchase something that is junk. Any help would be appreciated.
Here is an example of the fiber glass ones.

I have looked online at a few sites for a genuine jdm spoiler and they are kind of expensive. Does anyone know of a site that is reliable and has the type r spoilers for a good price?

cheap does not mix well with reliable.

Good point! I guess that I will just have to keep an eye out for a jdm one on ebay.

I believe that they are held in by fiberglass.
I found another company that makes carbon fiber type r spoilers and I figure that those should be a lot better than the fiberglass ones. How would it compare to the oem ones? The price is about the same as a jdm spoiler, from what I have found.
Here is a picture of the carbon fiber one.

carbon fiber is basically wrapped around the outside, if it the same as the JDM one then get the JDM one. My friend has a carbon fiber hood off ebay and it was made out of fiberglass with carbonfiber outsides.
