How to tell if a type r wing is real OEM?

I'm looking to get a type r wing for my gs-r and i was wondering if there is anything on the real OEM wing that stands out from the replicas. I've never seen the real OEM one and replica in real life, so i'm just wondering if there is anything to look for to know for sure it's real?

most replica's will not have the rubber gaskets or the two holes on the underside of the spoiler made to vent moisture...

It will have 'Honda" molded into the base.

This is the clearest answer and after the last 2 page debate I checked the underside of mine before I reinstalled it and Voila! It has HONDA embossed on the bottom where it mounts to the car.
