What do you guys think of this spoiler?

I have been putting together the lip kit to turn my base into the sport exterior. I bought the "OEM replacement" on eBay and got something slightly different....I'm a little on the fence about it. Its a subtle bit different than what you get from Honda. It is smooth all along the back edge instead of having those rounded points near the ends of the spoiler. Check it out and let me know what you think. FYI - the rear lip fits well, but doesnt look like it in the pic. I just slapped it on there to see the two together.

Where's the pix? Many others have gone non-OEM. It's up to your personal taste and of course, it has to fit the Fit.

Here's a sport for comparison. Just added pix, sorry! Not sure whose pic this is, but gorgeous and shows the profile of the spoiler a little better.

Mine is an '08 Sports A/T but thanks for the pix. The lip looks good. The spoiler looks good. Are you painting it (lip/skirt) to match? DO you have the side skirts also? If you go black all the way around would look good if you don't decide to paint-match. Just my opinion.

Yeah I have all the other parts of the lip kit (rear, side, front and now spoiler) and plan to paint them all to match the car. They are all currently in gray or black primer and all made of ABS.

It looks like I ended up getting the "JDM" style spoiler instead of the USDM sport spoiler. Maybe this will help someone else if they can see a few more pics of it. I've decided I like it and its subtly different from the normal sport spoiler. Fitment is pretty good and good hardware is included. Heres a link to the style that they actually sent me instead of what I expected to get. Mine is made of ABS, the one in the link is fiberglass:

Yes your wing is a JDM styled rear wing. A little more rounded as compared to the USDM version
