Default BMW-style Ducktail Spoiler

New to this site and to forums in general, so sorry if I posted this incorrectly, but I was wondering if anybody makes a ducktail/v spoiler similar to the ones on BMW Ms. There are a few on eBay, but they only cover the straight edge of the deck lid.

I don't think so. I was looking for an F80 style spoiler for the IS about a year ago but never found one. Closest thing I know of is the TRD trunk spoiler. But it's mostly flat and still a bit bigger than I wanted, so I just stuck with the factory IS spoiler.

You could always try to add something like that as a subtle gurney flap on the stock spoiler.

That’s not a bad look, though the price is a little steep.

This is the one I originally saw, but I hate how it doesn’t run the full width of the deck lid.

Yeah, but the shape of the trunk doesn't really allow for that while maintaining the same style of spoiler. Still, that's not bad for just $65.

This is a year late, but I ended up getting this

Fair warning though: if you get it you’ll have to have the OEM mounting holes welded, deck lid partially repainted, and urethane to mount the new wing.
