Who makes the best 1970 factory rear spoiler reproduction available?

I am getting ready to order a new trunk lid and spoiler for my 70 cutlass, I have found several reproduction spoilers that claim to be just as good as the factory one. Who has bought what brand and were you happy with it?

I got mine from fusick. it lined up great with my factory drilled holes. I did have a shipping or packaging problem, one corner of the spoiler chipped but they made it right.

Thanks for the replies, I will order one soon, may or may not end up using it since I don't know if the supreme body can pull off the spoiler look without being too gaudy, but worst case, I can sell the spoiler to someone else.

This only my opinion, but----Look before you Leap. Look around at Supremes or even Convertibles that have spoilers installed. I say this for several reasons
#1 If you mount and DON'T like it, you're stuck with a deck lid that needs to be refinished, and it will need it on top and bottom.
#2 The angle of the Supreme trunk lid is different than that of a hardtop; not a whole lot, but it will give the spoiler a slightly different angle.
#3 If you do go with installing one, look around for a GM piece. They are out there and might require some prep to get ready---I say this because if you DON"T end up liking it, the GM piece might be easier to sell than a used reproduction.
My comments are NOT intended to offend anyone that has a Supreme or Convertible with a wing, or anyone that has an aftermarket one. This is only MY opinion, and you know the old saying about opinions.

I know it may look horrible...but I am buying a new trunk lid anyways....so if I put it on the old trunk lid and it's horrible... no harm no foul.

I had one on my Supreme way back when. Didn't like the look anymore so it came off.

1972 Cutlass Spoiler Installation

Just received my OPGI Spoiler for my 1972 Cutlass S Holiday Coupe (442 options) and it has NO template! Anyone know where I can get one? Or have the correct measurements? Thank you
