Mint Blue Wing - Not As It Seems?

So am I the only one who see's this?
Here is a pic of the adveristed Mint Blue Spoiler from several different sites...


And here is the actual production version...




So... doesn't it seem that in the advertised pics the spoiler is only connected to the trunk on the edges, but in production it wraps around the entire trunk???

If you look carefully, you will see that its the same. Focus on the 3rd Brake Light and you will see that the carbon fiber is just being really reflective and it looks like a shadow, but it is a mix of the white and carbon fiber color thats causing that illusion.

The right and left edges you see that looks black is actually the reflection or the lack of reflection of the tailights.

Try to look at the spoiler on an angle where you are looking down the spoiler.

The Carbon Fiber is acting like a mirror, sort of how magicians use mirrors for illusions.
