Smile TOM's rear deck spoiler received.

OK so it's not yet installed, but I figure I would show the virgin spoiler compared to the OEM spoiler. Purchased through Carson which got it from Japan, it was on my door step when I got home.
Workmanship is OK as it will require some touching up and smoothing (sanding) to get it right. Some odd edges that require some love. One thing I was not too happy about is that it does not come with a gasket to be used in between the trunk and spoiler around the screws. I will have to check into reusing the old one or purchasing new ones.
I plan on painting it myself within the next few weeks. It is a bit longer than the stock spoiler which I do like as it comes across a bit more agressive. I will post more pics once it is completed.

Just a clarification. No carbon fiber with this spolier. Pics must show an add on. Also the spoiler does come with adhesive tape for mounting along with 2 screws holed on the spoiler.
