I'm not happy with my install job. I got the spoiler to install perfectly flat without any ripples in it but I didn't line it up with the top of the rear window very well. It's too high up on the left side. I also want to get some thinner 3M tape. I used the thicker red stuff and you can see it a little bit underneath when viewed from the back.

Overall, for $100+$100 in painting, I'm pretty happy with it.

The weather strip between the roof and quarter panel seems to not be flush with the roof.

From a distance, the spoiler looks fine, but up close you can see the differences in the separation from the roof. Maybe you could put some kind of material on the roof edge to create a spacer to keep a constant separation and account for the excess weather strip. Tile spacers would probably work great.

IMO, the fin and spoiler are too busy, but I think it looks good otherwise.

Damn. I never noticed that about my weather stripping until you said something. I thought that was how it was supposed to be but I just looked at it again and realized the front is too far forward. WTF? I wonder if I can just tap at it from the back to scoot it forward until it's flush. Like I said, I'm going to remove and reinstall soon. I'll look into it.

Could you let us know if it feels more stable at 130?

This seems like a lot of work. Wish there was an option that was pre-fitted and painted. Looks Great Though!!!

I ended up getting Sarona since the ebay pictures of the spoiler sketched me out...
