I dunno guys... the fit ONLY SEEMS GOOD at first, but what happens after a years worth of washes & rain? Moisture & dirt & god knows what else is bound to get under that lifted/floating free gap on both sides. THE ADHESIVE IS BOUND TO FAIL AT THE EDGES FIRST, then spread slowly accross. If you think about it, the wing should fit tightly across its mounting surface ONLY. That's why most roof spoilers have the minor gap on the edges, just like the glass. Do ypu think people manufacturing quality roof spoilers overlook a gap & play it off as a simple flaw.... I don't think so. Its there for a reason. If your looking for longevity & durability, stay away from cheap bling that is made with looks only in mind. To me function comes before form.

Careful! The shipping charges are not included in the newest listings, which keeps the price comparable to before. Just thought I'd throw that out there in case one has the tendency to not read the fine print before they purchase. Still, I don't think you can get a better painted spoiler for the money spent.

it is very easy to put it on..half hour tops..here is how i did it..
-line it up on the window the way u want it, check to make sure it is flushed from right, left and the upper side by the roof.
-use masking tape (you can get them at homedepo) and tare 3 strips to hold the spoiler in place
-stating from left (or right) peal back about 2 inches of the 3M tape that runs horizontally on spoiler and tape it to the top portion of the spoiler
-peal off the 3M tape that runs vertically on the spoiler completely, (its the smaller piece)
-line it up nice and apply firm pressure and hold for a min.
-put the masking tape back on that side, and move on to the other side
-FOLLOW THE SAME STEPS FOR THE RIGHT SIDE
-now grab take little piece of the 3M tape cover that you had taped to the top of the spoiler and slowly peal it off (DO NOT LIFT THE SPOILER!) it should come off very easily.
-apply pressure evenly across for a min and put on the masking tape for 10 min to ensure security
enjoy your roof spoiler!

I hope I don't raise the ire of the moderating team when I do this, but I posted a question in regards to the preferred installation of this spoiler in another forum. Since this thread here gets more views due to the popularity of the photography forum, and since the topic is somewhat related, I wanted to link it here. Please take a look and comment. Thanks guys... I will post pictures after the install in case anyone has any interest in them.
