Got mine installed last night

I was able to install the spoiler last night. The main spoiler part did not align completely with the holes in my trunk. This resulted in the spolier being offset by a few millimeters to the left from center. I have to decide if I widen the trunk mounting holes to the right by couple of millimeters to adjust, or ask for a replacement.

It was dark when I finished, so I will take more pics today.

Everything was packed very well and the quality of the materials seems great. The only issue is the slight miss alignment. Very easy install. Hopefully I will be able to make slight adjustments to the mounting holes.

That's the same as mine. I think that's just how they fit.

Looks great! What's the height from the deck to the top of the spoiler?

Same as mine also. I think its the left mounting studs that's causing the problem and doesn't align perfectly with the factory holes, at least it was with mine. I had to tap on the upper spoiler surface for it to slide down into the holes (the right and middle hole were fine).

You guys using double sided tape or anything to create barrier between spoiler and paint ? Like double sided tape or foam?

I placed double-sided 3M tape over the unused holes on the trunk. I’m hoping it will keep water from getting inside the trunk.

I used RTV Silicone Sealant around each mounting stud and when you bolt it down, it forms into a water tight plug. After it cures, it stays flexible and may prevent any rattles/squeaks.

I agree. Was was going to widen the left holes on their right side about 1-2mm and see if that allows the spoiler to move right enough.

C7Carbon, I suggest that you should adjust the left bolts centerline to the left about 2mm.

What about water sitting under the spoiler after a wash/rain and rusting the trunk out? is that a thing?

I like the rtv move. Does it peel off easy enough?

no harder than removing the residue from double sided tape.
