Arrow aftermarket spoiler at junkyard...

so my friend and i went to the nearby junkyard for anything/nothing for our cars. i found a green coupe L36 and noticed it had an aftermarket spoiler that resembles the C-west spoiler with the center brake light on it.
unfortunately the clear coat was nastly peeling off of it and the junk yard wanted $65 for it since its an aftermarket type. i was thinking about getting it, but the cost to get it all repainted and clear coat i'd be looking at between 300-400 to get it professionally done. just thought if anyone liked or disliked them and if i should get it or not

that yard does stuff backwards, most yards when it's aftermarket either scrap it, or sell it cheap, as they know they cost less than factory stuff usually

the wings west ones were pretty expensive, IIRC so unless its definitely not one, doesnt seem like a bad price.

Ya, Allen K has the Wings West Spoiler. To install that on our cars requires the stock spoiler holes to be filled in and the trunk has to be repainted. In the end, it's a pretty darn expensive spoiler when you add in all the work that's needed to put it on the car.
