Carbon trunk spoiler - ECS Tuning versions any good?

Looking to replace the standard small spoiler on the trunk of my E90 with a carbon spoiler. OEM appears to be +/- $450, but I see that ECS has a couple of other options for less than $200:

Anyone have any experience with ECS carbon lips?

I'm partial to the second style (if I had to pick) as it looks more OEM, but not exact. Why does ECS not have pics installed on a car?

That just seems like poor marketing and maybe fitment related? I'd try to find installed pics and a real user review before jumping on these.

I have a Mode Carbon E90 trunk spoiler and I am in love with it. Much more affordable than OEM and has the OEM styling that the ECS ones are lacking. Not to mention, Mode Carbon customer service is top notch. I haven't personally dealt with ECS though.. Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure

Thanks. Yeah, not showing a pic of either on a car makes me suspicious of fitment for the ECS options. Thanks for the tip on the Mode spoiler. I checked them out and they look good, but for the same price (or less) I would probably just go for the OEM version.

There's also this one at Turner for $199: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-47...-m3-sedan.aspx

We just haven't had a chance to have proper photos taken of these installed yet. It's on the books to happen soon.
