FL Best option to buy new spoiler?

Hey everyone,

Been a long time since I posted. I have re-started my 10thAE project and am now in the market for a rear spoiler. The original broke and I got myself a used one real cheap from a friend. The used one has cracked through the primer all over the place multiple times and my body guy has advised me to give up on it.

My questions are, what is my best option to replace it? What should I be paying for one? Is there anyone out there making fiberglass OEM replacements body parts?

I spent some time looking for aftermarket fiberglass and oem replacements as well as a little bit of time in the classifieds. I found this one at the link below for what seems a decent price.

Any advice is appreciated and sorry for all the questions at once.

Are you looking to keep the car 100% original? If not, there is an S5 TII wing made only in '91, which is ABS as opposed to the foam from every other year. I don't know exact what models it came on.

They sell for quite a bit, when I purchased mine on here a few years ago people were offering the seller over double to sell it out from under me. Expect to pay over $200.

Daniel, thanks for the tip. I am trying to keep the car original as possible save for under the hood.

Anyone other advice? Are these wings notoriously difficult to paint? Should i even bother with a used one?
