Great work.
Side note, I can see some sunlight from underneath it in some of those shots. Wouldn't air get under there and potentially cause deformation? Any thought of using double-sided tape? I think you mentioned the possibility of foam tape in the other thread, so I will keep my eyes open on your other installs and end-user testimony.

Beautiful. Not that I need it to sell me on it, but I'd love to see a picture of it on a black car if possible.
Great work.

Jason , is the spoiler in these pictures bolted down in place or just sitting in it's proper installation position ? It may just be the shadows or photographs , but it appears that it could be torqued down to the body a little better . I am not criticizing , just asking , because I have one on order from you . Thanks
As a reference , I am looking at the fifth picture shot from the back of the car and looking at the edge of the spoiler where it comes in contact with the car . The edge seems to have a gap and not fit quite right . With all the time you took getting this mold correct and bringing the product to market I am confident that you have made sure that is not a problem .

I believe the foam tape I plan to use should correct that. This car also had a spoiler on it before and I believe the fascia was distorted. These pictures are from Wisconsin and I don't actually have my hands on it yet. Things will be more clear when I install it on my car here in Michigan.

I like it but I wish it were flush with the edge of the bumper.

If its a functional spoiler I would like to see some Aero tests...
I am a mechanical engineer by trade so I find it amusing when people make claims with out any data...
