Coupe Trunk spoiler, like OEM

The OEM carbon fiber coupe trunk spoiler isn't NLA but there is no stock anywhere in the world. Unlikely they will be made again. There are however several aftermarket copies, like this one:



Any consensus on who is the "best" source for these? And, is there any feedback on the long-term quality of them?

I have seen some copies in real life and at least one of them had peeling clear coat. Seems like to be safe, it would be smart to pay a professional to add or re-clear coat one of the aftermarket ones.

I have the Tekarbon one. It's not faded or peeling. However it is cracked right down the middle from people grabbing it to close the trunk instead of using the inner handles. I only notice it when I dry it off and I find microfiber stuck in it.

I actually just ordered the one that is available on eBay. I am surprised by the quality and the fit of it. I don't think the OEM could have been TOO much better.

I also ordered an ebay one...it looks good but when you lay it on the trunk of the Z4M, you can see minor gaps from the trunk to the bottom of the spoiler. It looks identical to the BMW factory part and real carbon. Plan is to Dremel the mounting side to give it some flex...if I can get it to fit the trunk without too much force and no gaps...I'll put it on. If not...I'll look elsewhere.

I also have the Tekarbon one - can confirm it has stood the test of time and looks great. Was mounted at a body shop under the previous owner's watch - fairly simple to DIY though.
