If it's a HIC, then I have one, along with many others. Btw, I bought mine from HIC USA for $60 and it had free shipping I think.

Fits perfectly, except I messed it up about 1 mm lol because it touched the glass with the tape exposed and I couldn't get it off lol. One of my corners tape came off, but maybe I didn't clean that part enough or put enough pressure on it. I out different 3m tape on that side yesterday so hopefully it holds. However, I don't think the top corner on each side is curved to hug the glass enough, but it's not going anywhere and not very noticeable.

prep it well, clean the fuhh out of the glass before putting it on, could also help to use a heat gun/hair dryer. My sides came up but I just squeezed in a new layer of 3m doublestick tape and all's been good for the last 2 or so years.

Just bought and installed that exact roof spoiler last week. You'll be happy. Probably the best 65 bucks you've ever spent

Havent mounted mine yet, going to vinyl wrap it, but it looks great mocked up on the car, and as you can see in Arods pic it follows the lines of the car better than others ive seen.

Glad to here. I have been worried about quality. Also looked at a true carbon fiber one for $188. Looked awesome

Its a good quality plexi, clean, no rough edges. it comes bubble wrapped in a box with a protective film on the visor itself.

I have had mine for almost a year, I live in the south and at one point in summer it got extremely hot, and the tape that it came with started to let go. I simply replaced it with 3m heavy duty double sided tape and all good now. I recommend using 3m and a heat gun or hair drier from the get go.

A also i got mine from Amazon, its the same style though.

I understand the 3m tape but why the heat gun?

I'm assuming to heat up the double sided tape that will be on it already when you open the box. I installed mine with a buddy and it literally took 30 seconds. No heat gun and it was probably 60-65 degrees. No issues at all. It will be a tiny bit off in the very center of the spoiler. It won't be completely flush with the weather stripping all the way cross at the top of the rear window. And there is no way getting around that. Its just how it is. Just make sure your corners are where you want them during install and stick the center down last!
