    just a few more of my spoiler, taken from a higher up 'standing height'. Due to the curve of the top foil, it does show a slight bit of curve from this angle,but it's not enough for me to consider it an eye sore, if you look at it from a lower point of view, like dead on level height, it looks totally straight as my previous pictures showed.

    I think its just not as noticeable with the risers. Looks good though!

    So I managed to find an oem top part of the gt spoiler but it is from a sedan.

    It has no sag and looks really good, should I buy it?



    I can use the base from the Poland spoiler. It should technically fit the base because the Poland spoiler fits sedan and coupes as advertised.

    The top part is identical from coupe to the sedan. Only the base differs. Mounting holes are the same regardless. Definitely go for it!

    Id say at worst you may need to adjust the mounting holes on the base, as they may not be spaced identically to OEM, but should be able to make it work with some sanding, and maybe some re drilling.

    Thing with the base is that there are plenty of it on e-bay so Im not that worried about that. I would probably buy a new base because there are already holes from the previous installation which probably won't match up with the oem top part of the spoiler.

    Planning to fit this oem top part of spoiler to the replica lower part. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

    Sand the insides, add material to the outside. Hell there's plenty of people on IG that build their whole cars out of bondo, a little on the base can work.

    Body filler + paint and it'll look normal I guess. Even at its current state I think it still looks way better than a saggy low rise spoiler.

    Unsure if another order could possibly warp the top and cause it to bow down with time
    Any pics of the install and how much double sided you put ...sorry didnt scroll too far back if you posted them

    Saggy as fuck, wrong shape entirely and not cheap.
    Buy a MASHAW instead.

    I would get one from Mashaw or Abraham Motorsports but they won't ship to me.

    The description said those are the actual photos of the spoiler. But anyways before buying I would ask for more pics.

    the second carbon fiber one has pics with copyright watermark, seems legit. I contacted the seller to request for pics he said ok but later. i think hes forgotten about it.

    The installed pics look nothing like the unpainted pics of the actual spoiler.

    FYI I’ve had pics of my car that I took on eBay splitter ads with the sellers watermark on them. It’s all knockoff crap. That cf one is no different than the other cheap cf ones.
