Ok I just did an eBay search & I didn't find one factory oem lse spoiler for sale or an lse surround. Call me crazy but I think an oem lse spoiler should bring more loot than aftermarket ( ? ) oem better looking too imo.

What you are looking for is not an easy answer- bottom line is it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I paid around $200 for mine in New condition back around 2010 and IMO its the best looking OEM spoiler. They are getting harder to find...

There was an aftermarket one like yours on Amazon for a long time that I think was going for $130 or something. Sure, OEM should be worth more than aftermarket, but you'll have to wait around a while to find someone that cares.
Also, keep in mind those EZ-Lip spoilers are practically the same as Gen 2 LSE spoilers, so cheap lip spoilers listed as LSE spoilers aren't that wrong, provided they clearly state they're aftermarket

Ok id like to see what a factory oem gen 1 LSE spoiler looks like because I took this off another '02 LSE in the salvage yard. And it has what appears to me a ford part # on the underside ( ? )

Yours is what the factory Gen 1 LSE spoiler looks like. Presumably, yours is actually factory. Gen 2 LSE was basically just a lip spoiler but with small styling cues making it obvious that is was made for the LSE, as opposed to eBay "M3" style lips that are just cut to length from a long extrusion. Only a handful of people would ever notice the difference.

Ok thank you. It definitely fits the contour of trunk very nice, as an oem spoiler should.
I think I'll keep it. Thanks tho.

You can do what you want with your money. It's only defacing if you try to add some zeroes and call it a $5,000 bill

The Federal Reserve "owns" the bills. The possessor owns the value of the bill...not the bill itself. Thus, you can't do whatever you want with the currency that you possess.
Here is the specific code related to this issue:
United States Code
TITLE 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
PART I - CRIMES
CHAPTER 17 - COINS AND CURRENCY
§ 333. Mutilation of national bank obligations
“Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or
unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill,
draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking
association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System,
with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence
of debt unfit to be reissued, shall be fined under this title or
imprisoned not more than six months, or both.”
