Default Trunk Lid Spoiler

Thanks to TSHong this spoiler is awesome! It looks great on the car and I would say it's a 3/10 to install. For the cost this is a amazing deal. Only $41 shipped. I received it within a week also. The paint is 98% match but from 1 foot away it looks perfect.
Here is the link

Here are some pics.



Fresh out of the box



Under side



Good quality 3m tape





The spoiler is flexible



You need to contour the spoiler to your trunk



Start in the middle and work your way to the sides. Make sure you center it.



Pretty low profile





Subtle improvements are the best.



Paint matching is great. Slightly off in metal flake but from 1 foot away it looks perfect.

Great it worked out. Looks like you got the rounded end. Looks great and it still blows my mind on the price for the lip spoiler. It was a two person job for me since we had to contour it to the trunk.

I got the streamline one, from the pics it does look like the rounded end but its not. Yes 2 people would be nice but i only had myself so i managed to do it fine by myself.

Looks good! I'm considering one also. Hey, even if it only survives a few years, it's not a huge investment. The only difficulty putting it on yourself is the fact you have one shot to get placement correct with the 3M tape. Good yob mon!..
