Looks awesome buddy!

Really can't wait to get mine!!
Thank you! I am really happy with the way it fits. I am thinking about the spoiler now.
Looks like you don't have the gap problem I have.

That's why I brought it to a shop and paid them to put it on. It is probably much easier on a lift. You will probably just have to play with it a bit to eliminate the gap.

What a disaster this has turned into for you. Hopefully it gets sorted out quickly. At least we can give you tips when installing it now and you don't have to be guinea pig.

This is the one I ordered, very helpful seller although either they can't fill out a customs form, or the courier is just useless, I guess we can give them benefit of the doubt:

I've been looking into 1 of these spoilers but I can't seem to gauge whether or not it will sit even with the painted panel. From photos it looks like it would however the existing spoiler is already flush....the dilemma.

The supervisor at the local post office called and left a voicemail at 10 last night to apologize for all the issues and said my packages are still sitting on the rack. Supposedly if I leave my signed form in my mailbox on Tuesday they will be delivered.

Not getting my hopes up but it would be an interesting turn of events.

Because they have no clue what is going on...

Well look at that! Packages were left on my front door.

Now let's hope neither of the items have been damaged in transport.

Good for you. Glad it got sorted out. Take a couple pictures of the rear spoiler when you have time. I am interested in seeing what it really looks like.

Happy to report that didn't happen!

Both the spoiler and diffuser arrived in one piece. Probably won't get a chance to install for a few more days though in the least. The diffuser should be easy but the spoiler I will have to think about regarding the install. The spoiler is all 3M tape and I have a feeling the supplied tape won't be sufficient. I'll also need to properly prep the area to make sure it has a good seal.

I'll try to grab a photo of the spoiler just resting on the car in the next day or two for those interesting in seeing the general fit.
