I'd recommend an OEM spoiler as the fit is better and it eliminates the gap above the third brake light. No offense to any of our forums sponsors or aftermarket comapnies in general.

EDIT:
I agree with what Nate just said, OEM fit and finish is 10x better than anything you buy from the replica aftermarket, making it worth the extra cost -- or rather making it worth waiting til you can buy a used one. ND2020 has an OEM c32 style spoiler, fits beautifully.
That said -- replica or not,
Are you crazy? Of course it looks good. Much better than without.
Your car is clean to the nth degree, seeing such a well cared for deep-gloss Black color makes me now more than ever wish my car was black. +1 on vinyling over the chrome trim or however you went about it. perfect height, and I wont hold the BBS reps against you considering how nice they look regardless ;-)
Those muffler tips sticking out too far past the bumper take more away from the rear end than the spoiler ever would!
Which exhaust is that anyway?

Heyy ever come upstate? Im in Kingston area
Yeah I think thats whats throwing everything off. Thats a Magnaflow, the guy that put it on just plain did a crappy job fitting it there. Im just trying to figure out what setup I'm going to do (dual, single etc etc dunno so many options) until I fix it.
Yeah and I think OEM is a little better fitment

white and whiter
could you just call them LM reps. BBS is a brand and since these are reps just call them LM reps. this way people don't actually search "BBS" and come up with replica threads when they are looking for authentic. thanks

Which c/o's are you running?
Is it 50% tint on your front side windows as well? The rear sides look darker.
I ask b/c I personally like the blue tint of the factory windows, and would like to tint at a % that still shows off the blue, but provides some summer heat protection. Your rear sides are a little too dark for that, but your front side appears to be perfect. Unless thats just b/c the windshield is in front of the front side window in the picture, making it look ligher than the back.
