Psm Style VS Psm spoiler

Is it worth spending the extra money on the original?

My question to that is... who makes the original PSM spoiler? If you worry about someone knowing if it’s a replica or not, then I don’t think you’ll need to worry about that. I don’t even know who makes the original

However if you’re asking bout fitment and quality, if you go with a reputable dealer like IND, XPH... I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Their quality is pretty good. Good service as well.

Bought a mode carbon and the fit sucks. Buy original if you want precision fit.

Thank for the reply.. I care about quality...
Why are they charging over $700 for theirs?
There had to be a reason so im thinking fitment and quality is top notch.

I don’t know who is the original designer of “PSM” spoiler, but IND and XPH are reputable retailers and have the “PSM Style”. For all you know, the IND and XPH might be higher quality than the original. XPH offers a figment guarantee. IND service is top notch.

I think it’s more important to buy from a reputable vendor that stands behind their product and offers a return or exchange. Regardless if it’s original or a replica. Spoiler fitment other than oem can be finicky. Even premium priced ones. I have an original PSM V2 and think it looks great. I’m not against a replica but not all replicas have the same exact shape as the original. A spoiler is not prone to damage and it’s pretty visible due to the location. That’s why I wouldn’t mind paying more for an original. Now front lips get destroyed so it’s hard to pay a premium knowing it will get damaged.

Ruling out all non-OEM brands off one poor-fitting spoiler.. careful you don't pull a hammy with that stretch.

OP: I've had great experiences with XPH, great fitment on the full exterior kit and it looks fantastic.

Originals are made by small group in California that mostly worked more w/exotic cars. I know thats not saying much but what I can tell you is genuine PSM parts are solid and are very difficult to break. Psm stuff doesn’t warp and crack easily either like competitor products. I had full front and rear diffuser on my now my 3rd f80. Fitment is also perfect. There is quite a difference with genuine psm stuff. Cost drives a lot of folks so I understand it’s hard to not get a knockoff lol.

90% of California companies outsource from China, some really big names in fact

Only difference is that they warranty their fitment whereas eBay it's up in the sur

PSM make all their stuff in house in Cali. I had the full kit + widebody on my F80. I can attest that their quality is top notch and fitment is spot on.

I had XPH's PSM style spoiler. Fitment very good. The moulding was not done perfectly, the left point on the spoiler has a slightly different curve than the right one. You can hardly notice it though. The clear coat became kinda foggy in parts from sun exposure and the weave isn't perfect. Just my experience. I just bought a Monaco CS style, and for half the price XPH is almost twice the quality. Just my $0.2. I would buy from XPH again, they just don't have the CS style in stock.

Do you have a picture of the new spoiler installed or not yet? I am currently in the market for a front lip/spoiler/grill inserts to black out the car.

My M4 is the San Marino blue and I think a blacked out package would look nicer than color matched or the chrome trim on the front grill.
