Purchase my roof and trunk spoilers off oem.thing from ebay.ca
Ended up paying $25 for duty/brokerage at the door (with declared value of $60 ...smart company)
Came out nice, smooth and good finish, and colour match is probably 99.9% spot on
Material apparently is ABS plastic
Checked fitment and I'm not sure of 2 things:
1. is the trunk spoiler supposed to fit on 100% without force? Because it is a upside down V shape, I have to put a little force down on it to get the spoiler to fit exactly onto the trunk, for the trunk edge to go into the inside corner of the V perfectly
2. the roof spoiler I think is maybe 1mm too short, because it doesn't snug between the 2 side beams surrounding the rear windshield perfectly, I can feel that it moves left/right a tiny little bit
Anyone else notice these as well?

It's a replica, so yes that is expected.
You'll have to put a little force on the spoiler to get it to sit properly on the trunk. And the rear spoiler will have that slight gap...just something you have to deal with
I have the same slight gap with my roof spoiler from OEM.Thing

Looks good man, I'm surprised at how little you paid for that, and it turned out well! What do you all think about SFP and carbon fiber vs/SFP coloured parts (like a roof spoiler...) trying to decide which route to take... think CF would look good against the white?
