oh yeah, i read alot on here and value what people say about parts, and i know if someone was to buy something because i said its good, and its not, look like a doushbag, more important money dont grow on trees and id hate someone to waste it based on me

in for pics as well. Also it's not uncommon for aftermarket parts like this to not fit "perfect". 90% of the people would never even notice if you didn't point it out to them. I'm all in for perfection but sometimes is it worth spending twice or three times more. I dunno. To each there own.

got some pics guys, tried to get the angles I wud want to see if looking for fit. all in all its pretty dam good. perfect like oem?, no. but im happy for the price. if u don't mind a little finessing and modification, its a good option. let me know what u think, and if anyone wants more details on install, or pics of a certain angle, il try to make it happen.

It actually looks pretty damn good..... Being that it is black, it is hard to tell because of the shade. On the side pic, it looks as if the spoiler is raised a bit higher than the rear panel. Is it supposed to be like that???
These pics and your honest opinion has swayed me in the direction of BUYING from Carid.
Thanks Again

And I also wanna add, that I wud NOT reccomend trying to bolt it on with the screws provided, I tried for hours, and it just doesn't go well, installing studs in the wing then just having to lay it in and put nuts on the studs made it a MILLION times easier. Maybe tthat's why the factory one was mounted that way lol.

I got the studs at the local ace hardware, I mentally measured the factory spoiler studs and went and found some close size to it, with course threads on half, fine on the other. I put a nut on the fine end till it was bottomed on threads, and the GENTLY tapped the course end in to the holes in the spoiler located where factory holes are. When I did this I coated them I'm loctite, figuring it wud help it cement in place. Assoon as its in, use a vice grip to hold the stud, then back the nut off. I let the loctite cure overnight, dabbed with silicone and dropped spoiler down in, that way from the bottom with hatch up, studs come thru right where factory ones were. Worked well. The studs iI got were a little long, so I used couple extra washers then the nut so it had enough threads. Got a couple pics I'll throw up later of step by step. And I'll snap one of the stud/bolt. It was a lot more process than an OEM probly, but saved a few hundred bucks. More money for nitrous lol
