You guys have to understand they are not GM. The mold to make that piece (assuming it is injection molded) was anywhere from $10,000 to $50,000 depending on complexity.
Yeah, they end up being able to make the piece stupid cheap (MAYBE $50?) but they have to recoup QUITE a large investment.
Even a good fiberglass mold will run you $5k on a spoiler. Then price per piece (in the USA, Chinese Duraflex crap is an entirely different story) for a good product is more than what GM charges retail (sometimes, especially a 3 piece).
GM has the benefit of the American tax payer footing their bill when their $20k molds don't pay off lol... aftermarket companies don't. It's hit or miss. We're still sitting on a $10k mold for the ZL1 style hood we made for the Silverado... and only sold 3 of in a year lol.
