M5 style spoiler

Finally got a chance to install the M5 style spoiler I ordered from JBSpeed. Overall I'm pretty happy. Quality could have been a bit better but the price was good.

I also ordered the side grills in gloss black and they look great.

When you say quality could be a bit better, do you mean materials, adhesive, or fitment? I myself have been looking into this one. Would you recommend JBSpeed's M5 Spoiler to others or do you think there could be a better one out there?

Thanks.

Paint is ok. It really looks more like prep of the spoiler prior to paint. In certain light you can see some marks where the mold of the spoiler was.

Disregard you can't see it in that photo. I'll try again after I wash the car. I'm being a bit picky though. For the money it's great.

I hear ya! I guess there's a reason why most of us will pay less for a product instead of more for a name brand product. Like for example Vorsteiner Diffuser u can pay $1200 for it or buy an aftermarket for $400? U expect perfect fitment and quality for $1200 or we hope that $400 gives us close to perfect fitment and quality.
