    I have been watching some of the ebay auctions lately for the grabber spoilers. Seems like original take offs in fair usable condition go for $200 to $300. A reproduction goes for $100. Anybody out there use the reproduction? Is it just a matter that the people buying the higher priced originals don't know that it is being reproduced? Or is the reproduction sub-standard and the only good one is a good used one?

    Yea, Unlimited Products, same ones that make the fiberglass hoods and bumpers. $100 plus shipping. Spoiler mounts with 2 bolts instead of 4, which is nice if you have to drill the holes.

    Thats the same repo I bought from UP22... still waiting for it to arrive. They told me 3 to 4 weeks. I'm still mad about the shipping charges. If I didn't want one so bad, I would have withdrew my purchase.

    The quality of Unlimited Products reproductions is reportedly dubious at best. Someone who has seen them first hand can probably tell you a little more about them.

    I've got to get one also. I'm interested in hearing how the repro's look and work.
