F83 "RKP Style" Carbon Fiber Spoiler

Has anyone ordered an "RKP Style" carbon fiber spoiler from Aliexpress? Curious about actual appearance, and fitment. I know many people are quite please with some of the diffusers from ebay and AE, but haven't seen anything on these specifically and since there aren't a lot of choices for the F83, I'm curious.

I believe all photos are probably true of the second one, because you can see clear shipping tape mocking it up on the car. Whereas one of the photos from the first link is clearly a different car, but that doesn't mean it isnt his spoiler. I'd be willing to bet they are ALL made in one place, and then these people just sell them; we aren't getting true manufacturer direct product.

I recently purchased one based on another forum member’s post from eBay. See the thread here:

I haven’t gotten mine yet but personally it looks great on Patural’s car.

RKP

I went to buy RKP F83 spoiler and they no longer make it. Curious if anyone has any more feedback on the Ali Express version? Thanks

I have one on my car since they first came out, if you search my username I have a build thread with pics of the RKP spoiler on. The fit took a bit of work to get it on right.

thanks.. however yours appears to be genuine from RKP (which they no longer offer).

Since I can't get one from RKP, I'm hoping to find a good quality replica. I've been digging in the forum but unfortunately most of the links to eBay listings are dead. I found this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/37394210848...kAAOSwrkJepoII

My concern is $200 seems cheap.

That is correct.

I would be very cautious of getting one off of eBay. Mine which is genuine RKP, was not the easiest thing to fit on the trunk.

I've had an internet tab open with that last link for a solid month or two and still haven't pulled the trigger haha. It does look good, though. I also just found this that looks good and considerably less expensive. Who knows about quality with any of these, though.

I've had the RKP f83 spoiler on my m4 for almost 4 years. The carbon weave still looks as if though its new and no blemishes or coat peeling. The fitment is 8/10.

Its held down by double sided 3m tape and has held up very nicely through 140+ MPH track days.

Looks good! Unfortunately, RKP doesn't actually make them anymore so we're looking for good knockoff options.

Does anybody else have a "knockoff" RKP-style spoiler on their F83?
