The other thing to consider is what kind of epoxy they used. I have done some research and most epoxy that they use with Carbon Fiber will not hold up to the UV light. They will turn yellow over time. These are the corners that are cut with cheap carbon fiber. You can see this on a lot of the ricer style wings now that have been out for more then a year. Plus since it is new will it bow over time. Plus the real wing has the Carbon fiber showing. That is some of the NSX-R look. painting it black is just not the same thing.
The next question is it true carbon fiber over lay or just a fake carbon over the plastic.
If you guys look on the forum you will see what honda did to build the wing. You can see they did not take any short cuts. Honda wants $6000 for their all carbon fiber wing. Do you think some one is going to sell you a copy for $700 and it be just as good. My opinion you get what you paid for.
Plus knowing the NSX people they are not cheap people. They want the best.
Here is the link to see how the real one is made.

Just my thought. I want a CF wing. I am waiting a little longer for a true copy comes out with all the above concerns taken care of.

Prior to everything, I would like to mention that our company goal is to offer not just great services and high quality products, but more importantly a RESONABLE price.
Our NSX-R style spoiler in my opinion absolutely has its potential to go over $1,000.00. However, thinking in a customer's shoe I refuse to spend over 1 grand for a spoiler. What I would do is simply purchase a FRP constructed R style spoiler for a few hundread bucks and painted it black and gloss coated it to acheive the type R look.
In terms of the construction of our spoiler and the JDM type-R spoiler, read closely in Honda's official website
http://www.honda.co.jp/NSX/nsx-r/r-tuned/body2.html it clearly states that the genuine type R spoiler is developed using CFRP construction which is the SAME construction of our spoiler. CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) is the construction which has a FRP body with REAL carbon fiber layed over the entire surface. If people perceive CFRP as "fake" carbon fiber, then we could probably say the JDM type R spoiler is not true carbon fiber as well.
Once again, our company goal is to offer RESONABLE price besides great quality and service. And yes, I agree with you on "you get what you paid for." $650.00 for one spoiler is not cheap IMO. For the money we have invested on producing this spoiler, the quality of it should be the last thing to concern. Also know that me myself also drive an NSX, and personally I do not accept poor quality products either.
My point is that our company does not give up either quality or price of our product. The goal of DreamzSport is to offer great pricing merchendise with superb quality for our customers. Choice are out there, let people to decide by their own.
Best Regards & Happy Hollidays,
Owner of Dreamzsport, Gary
(P.S. Something we would like to correct Jim: The FINISHED NSX-R spoiler DOES NOT have carbon fiber wave showing, it is finished in pure glossy blck paint. See pics below)
