Are you using stock mounting holes? Drill them out to allow for more adjustment room. Make a template out of something if you need to drill new holes. Test fit many times before application of double sided tape. Take your time, it'll turn out all right. If you don't want to do it, I'm sure a body shop would.

Thing is. Its about a few inches off the stock holes. Also it seems to be raised at the ends where it should go lower... I will take pics to show what I'm talking about.

The carbon fiber spoiler I had wasn't perfect, but it was by no means crappy.
Then again it might not be Carbon Creations. I never found any sort of label or markings on it so I assumed.

Its kool I knew the fitment would suk. Just not this bad... I only paid 420 with shipping so if I can spend a couple hundred to make it fit better I'm still good.
I've been waiting for jrx to make a great one for about a year. Still doesn't seem they will have it any time soon....
