Blau stopped getting them. They actually sold my spoiler to me (After a 4
month wait) at "their cost", which I know it wasn't, but still a nice
discount for the wait. There are two reasons I won't copy my OEM unit. 1)
Everyone I've talked to speaks of the molding process removing paint. Having
payed a considerable amount to get flexible paint matched to it, I'm not
about to rip it off when I have an unpainted copy. 2) The vents, which is
the only difference, would require much work to copy, probably about twice
the time of molding the entire piece. They are intricate slots, and would
weaken the overall structure as well. So that's why. Not blasting anyone,
just letting you know. Once again, the Blau/Vortag/OEM spoilers are all the
same piece, essentially. The all have the exact same design. The OEM piece
is just a much nicer piece (duh, that's why I paid over 200$ used for it, and
another 100$ to paint it...). Therefore, I'll see what I can do with the OEM
spoiler, But I think we can get the price around 100$ not including shipping,
if all goes well and the guy is hard up for work...
Later!
