Did he say replica?
He wants one that is cheaper, yes who does not, but one that is a single piece, a good bit different than replica.

Still a replica... You can seriously try and debate this all day. In the end he wanted the same thing.

Who the heck are you to tell me what I wanted?

I wanted that "style." I wanted a spoiler that wasn't a wing that had just a little more aggression to it... i.e some sort of lip. I did not want a replica.

How is it a replica? One company was making there own add on and then decided to do a one piece, it never got produced because the guy was some what scamming the forum, but they never bought the mine's lip and made a copy.

The only way to confirm if you know what I really want is to tell me what I want for dinner. I have a certain food in mind. Just one dish.

Is it, strictly speaking, food?

as far as my replica steve face is concerned, the mouth isn't open wide enough....
The opportunity to make money is enough justification for me.

Comprehension fail.

Something similar != copy.

Something similar = simlar style, preferably a complete spoiler replacement (i.e. one piece, OEM-style spoiler with integrated lip).

Not very happy when I get called out for something I didn't even do.
