I got the exact same spoiler as CPO, same source and price. It arrived in 5 days via FedEx! Shipping included in the $92 price.
i did not realize that the tube was a glue accelerant. i just cleaned the wax off the strip of trunk the spoiler covered and pressed it on. Perfect fit, very snug, doesn't move a milimeter.
The production quality and paint job is first rate. You can't tell it isn't OEM.

I will post pics when I install, but I really appreciate the others posting their photos here as well.

I purchased the ACS replica spoiler from the ebay seller mentioned above. They actually painted the spoiler in A07 (Mystic Blue) for me at the same cost of $92 shipped. On the seller's link, only the metallic black is shown, but I reached out to the seller and requested it to be painted in A07, which he agreed. The paint matches well and the fitment is good, but not perfect, which was not expected. Can't beat $92 painted/shipped. Further, the package only took 12 days to be delivered from Taiwan.
I used the super strong 3M molding tape and the 'blue masking tape -used for interior painting' purchased from home depot to hold it down for 2 days. There is a small gap in the corners but I don't think the spoiler would fall off.
All in all, I am very happy with it. Pardon the poor quality phone camera.

I was debating and now seeing your posts - I feel more confident.
Thanks again guys.

Thanks for the link, Just ordered one in Titanium Silver 
@ people that bought and fitted it, did you need to use tape to hold it down while gluing or did you find it stuck fairly easily?

I just got word that I may be coming back to the States soon...so hopefully I can actually install mine in the next few weeks. Sure, I could have installed it right when I received it...but I was limited on time and the weather was a little colder than I wanted. I only want to do this once, and the right way.
Please share your results and pics when you get yours on!
