Default How to tell the difference between a REAL and FAKE CTR / EK9 96-00 Civic Wing

I've been searching and searching and there no threads I can find about this. I am playing around with my first hatch as i've always been a coupe guy... and i'm about to pick up a CTR wing for a good deal but I just wanted to know... how can I tell if it's real or fake?

I've been trying to compare pictures of a replica to pictures of a real ek9 wing and it's hard for me to see a difference... If anything, I notice that the real ones tend to look more "straight" and the replicas seem curvier (refferring to the middle piece of the upper part of the wing).

For example... Fake:

Now... Real:

Any input appreciated

Looks like the WW replica goes for ~350 or so and has an LED. How's fit and fitment on the WW? I would like the LED, I guess... more brake lights is better... but if it's gonna be the same price, might as well go for the real EK9 wing, I think. $350-400 seems the going rate.

It actually should say honda on the base and also should say honda on the wing also when you detach it from the base.
