Installed this one https://www.ebay.com/itm/142452765965, bought it from "THE SPOILER COMPANY" on ebay. You give them your color code and they paint it for you. Glued on the 3M tape and fits like a glove.
I know these trunk spoilers are just for looks. But can anyone explain how a rear spoiler actually works, on a genuine race car? I understand the high-mounted reverse-wing spoilers we see on Top Fuel dragsters. The body-mounted ones are a mystery to me.

The “swoop up” characteristic of a spoiler interrupts the air passing over the top of a vehicle. It causes the air to lift up against the trunk area, whereas if there were no spoiler, the air would simply pass straight over the trunk seamlessly. When a spoiler is present the interrupted air pushing against the spoiler causes down force on the vehicle, giving the car more stability when at higher speeds.
