I am thinking of just ordering one. I have been curious too. I think il order one and let you know how it fits. I cant see paying what the dealer wants for it.

I almost ordered one too. I asked the seller if it looked just like the picture they had posted and they said yes......so Good luck and let us know. Someone out there has to be getting these from the same OEM factory.

It seems to be a good business so far. I placed the order on the 15th. They painted it or already had one painted and it shipped on the 16th. According to the tracking number they gave me I should have it on the 19th. I get back from California on the 21st so that is when il have it. I am going to say that on the 22nd it will be on and I will give a review.

I know im a day late on my review so here it is.

I did have a couple snags. They did not supply enough weather stripping. They only gave enough to cover the top and bottom mating surfaces of the spoiler. I had to add pieces to where the bolt holes are and other holes so there are no leaks. The second problem I ran into was that the 2 end bolt holes were not centered with the holes on the hatch. They were very close though. I fixed that by making the holes on the hatch egg shaped so I could get the bolts through and then applied touch up paint.

Other than that the quality is great. All the lines match the body of the car and the paint is perfect. So I say it is a good product. Im very happy with it and it looks great.

There is nothing to worry about for drilling just so long as you touch up all the bare areas with touch up paint. I didnt even have to make another hole I just modified the 2 end ones to oval shape.

Couldn't you have just modified the holes on the spoiler instead? Seems like a less permanent mod to do it that way...

No there was no way to actually do it without messing up the spoiler. The spoiler has 4 metal nuts embedded in the spoiler itself. Plus with the 2 middle bolts in place holding the spoiler the 2 end holes were half lined up (there was no adjusting I could have done) which is the reason for having to make the end holes oval shaped. I didnt have to remove a lot of material. I would say about a millimeter or 2 on each hole.
