There was a thread on this spoiler a while back. I got scared away from purchasing a painted one through the so called "so-so" fitment. Some more feedback would be nice since I really like this spoiler, but I can't justify it doesn't fit perfect on my mint spoilerless trunk.

before you ask, yes it holds up fine. its very strong.
yes the tape is removable and with the help of some goo gone spray, it can look like tape was never applied.

^ hes got it. mine is held on with the double sided tape. I will admit I was sceptical about this stuff the first time I used it butit is very strong. hold up great to all the rain/car washes and whatever else you can throw at it.

Ducktail trunk spoilers akways had a special place in my heart and saw this one here, first i was like no, then should i, then no, then my car looks good like that and some day i said, **** it, lets do it!
Ordered from racing raven, good communication by email, shipping was very fast considering it was shipped from hong kong and the package was very protective, no chance of damage at all, only thing that could happen is if it was bent in 2, it would have broke.
The fabrication of the piece is good, no flaws, nice carbon weave and ready to instal
Fitment would be a 8/10, my wing needed to be bent to fit good on the trunk, otherwise the left part would not be touching the trunk. its carbon so its pretty flexible and was not the hardest part to do.
Nothing is included to install the lip, they reccomend silicone glue but i didnt liked that idea and I installed it with 3m automotive double face tape bought for 6$ for 5' long roll, this stuff is very sticky and made the instal a bit of a PIA, it was hard to get it centered, i had to put some tape on each end on the car, place the lip, mark the end of the lip on the tape, put a tape in the middle and to a line to align the center too(would be easier to center, i was doing it alone) and then try to bend it to make it fit and try to stick it in place and even. the instal is 90% to my taste, theres a small part of the left end not touching the trunk (3/4" long) but only i knows it, its not major. Its very solid with that tape, i can make the trunk move by prying it down.
So price = 10/10, shipped for 207$ CAD to my door
Shpping = 10/10, super fast, no damage
Part = 8/10, minor flaws -» would not fit like a 10/10 part, need a little bend
Instal = 6/10, patience is required
Can come painted for the same price i think, i prefered taking it carbon and paint it later to match my color, i was scared their paint would not match mine.
