Some changes: Rear spoiler & tail lights
#16
Sorry about that. I see it now. Do you have any more pictures of the spoiler deployed (from different angles)? I'm also considering this but the photos on the internet are limited.
Also, does it require taking off the original spoiler or does it tape or bolt on the original?
Thanks for your help!

Side Profile
Here's a side profile shot of the wing closed and I'll put a close up of it open.
It replaces your original spoiler and is fairly easy to install. It will require drilling of the holes into it but again not a difficult thing to do.
As far as pricing...look on eBay for the most recent pricing.

Thanks for the pictures OEKun1. I'm really digging that spoiler. You've mentioned that when it is deployed, it blocks the rear view? How much of it is blocked? It probably doesn't matter as I'm thinking of doing it anyways.
Nice wheels by the way!

It blocks the rear view pretty significantly but honestly using my side mirrors has gotten me around that issue...besides the car looks great sitting down Thanks...I love the wheels as well and the overall look of the car.

Thank you sir!

It should be, although I would think that the styling may be different.

Hi OEkun1 and ArneR -
I just got my spoiler from Yachant2011 on Ebay which i believe is the same company that makes both of your spoilers. Quality of it looks really good. Unfortunately, the fitment is not so great. Did you guys have to do any additional work to it to have it installed (besides drilling the holes on the front side tabs?) Those tabs doesn't seems to butt up against the screw holes. Also, the middle section doesn't seem to seat flush like the two ends. Also, did you guys get new clips and screws or somehow reused the stock clips and screws?
I really don't want to take my car to a body shop if this is something I can do myself. Please help if you guys have seen these problems during your installs.
Thanks!

Mine was identical. You just have to be a little tough and push it down on the middle so the spoiler go flush with the spoiler insert. Then drill the holes. I just used all original clips and screws. I did it alone, but two person would be good. One pushing it down,and the other making the holes. Good luck.

Also, how did you get the clips to fit? The tabs on the carbon fiber spoiler seems to be quite a bit thicker than the stock spoiler.
Hope I can get it turn out as nice as your.....

Thanks to ArneR, I was finally able to put the spoiler on. Following ArneR's advise, I stopped being a little girl and just used some force on the spoiler. The tabs on the spoiler was a little too thick for the stock U-clip so I had to sand it down a bit. After that it was smooth sailing. The entire install took only about a hour (+ a day of being a p***y)

Personally, I feel that when the spoiler is deployed, it sits a little too high but it doesn't bother me too much. That's personal preference, some people like it and some don't. My spoiler doesn't come up very often anyways because i'm always sitting in LA traffic.
Here are some more photos. Hope this helps.
