Spoiler came in today, just did some test fitting due to all the rain and chilly weather and I must say I like this spoiler way more in person!!! I will be installing in a few days when it warms up but I took some pics from a bunch of different angles so you guys could check it out (front of spoiler is a little lifted from top of the trunk due to just test fitting, all goes flush once installed and taped down). I know some may not like it but I'm actually digging it haha. SN - the two black dots on my trunk are plugs for the holes from my lux spoiler...just temporary.

Well it looks a lot better now that we have different angles. I wonder how it would look on a obsidian

Yeah I agree, that's why I got as many angles as I could for people to see because in person I was quite impressed, the pics don't do it any justice! I also think it would look good on an obsidian color because it would almost be color matched haha. CF always looks good on black imo.

I think it'll match much better if you blacked the chrome trim on the trunk for now (not necessarily the entire car yet ). Shouldn't be too difficult to grab gloss black vinyl and wrap that one piece yourself.

Haha, absolutely! May do that this weekend.

It is a full replacement, hence why I had to plug my lux spoiler holes. Thanks!

Yeah I've never seen any that install over the factory piece either...

Ordered this spoiler earlier. Ebay has a $15 off $75 promo I used during a flash sale.

Hopefully its OK quality. I really like the CF look on black.

Will be interested to hear your thoughts on this once it arrives. This is the one I've looked at since it's simple and clean looking.

Will do, probably will get it next week. It already shipped from Thaiwan. I might also get the carbon fiber mirrors that screw in instead of the overlay carbon.

Finally was a warm enough day to install the spoiler and I must say...I'm impressed! Glad I opted to be the guinea pig with this spoiler. Here she is!!!

Looks good, what are those little circles below the spoiler. Any plans to dip the chrome trim? I think it would help complete the look.
