When you guys say that the outside corners aren't sticking well, is this an obvious problem? Can someone post a picture of what this looks like?

The outside forward corner of each side does not lay totally flat to the trunk lid. I don't have pictures...but you should be able to see what I'm talking about if you lay the spoiler on the trunk and look under it.

But...that said...I put clamps on each side last night. I left them on for about 18 hours. I took them off and the tape held in the corners just fine. I even gave it the one hundred MPH test on the freeway. It is rock solid!

I'm happy with the product...love the look and I'd buy one again. (But that is just me) You have to make up your own mind.

Good to hear. Paint match on the Tungsten was okay?

It's a very good color match. I think you'll be happy with it.

I am looking to buy a gt500 spoiler as well. Have you posted any wide-angle pictures of your Tungsten with the new spoiler?

Yeah, I'm probably going to go with the OEM spoiler. I still haven't found any full-shot pics of a Tungsten GT with this spoiler, though.

I just ordered one in tungsten. I paid 131 shipped and tax. I will post up pics as soon as I get it. does anyone have any idea how much it would cost to take it somewhere just to have it installed. I want to have the extra holes drilled so it doesnt suffer from the edges pulling up. My CDC real panel already does that.

I just picked up one of these from the spoiler store. They are local to Texas, so I had to pay tax but it still was only around 130 shipped. I got the G5 alloy Metallic to match my car. I'll get some pics for yall asap. I noticed a couple of small paint defects but nothing real bad. The drivers side leading corner looks like it was sat down before the pain dried and it has kind of a smooshed paint bubble in it. On the other side it has 2 small about 3mm scrapes. Other then that it looks perfect. In either case, for 130 bucks painted and shipped I'm happy.

Just finnished my install of the spoiler. I'll get some pics here asap. The color is slightly darker then my car, but you really cant tell unless u are just right on top of it. It still looks pretty good. I got it about 2 -3 mm too far to the passenger side, but you cant tell by looking at it.

Second picture you can see the small nick in the leading edge corner I was refering too. I'm gonna try to buff that out and see if I can't cover it up.

Great pix! The spoiler looks great on your car. This is a very tempting mod but I think I'll live with the "Cougar Eliminator" look until a bird hits my OEM spoiler.

I'm looking for a spoiler for my '06 vert, and thought I wanted the 3 piece ducktail, but after seeing this one I'm not sure if I like it better. I tried finding it on Ebay but no luck.

Ordered mine from caraccessories123 on friday. Waiting for it to be shipped.

I offered 90.00 and got it, 119.99 shipped to my door.

Now let's hope it's a good match and I can get it installed without any issues (got my clamps ready just in case).

Well, received it today, and I agree, the quality of the paint is excellent. One question though for those who ordered from caraccessories123, did your spoiler come with the instructions and video they state on their aution? Mine came with nothing. When I went to the ebay store to make sure I read it correctly I noticed they have printed instructions right there. Is that it?!?!?!?!?

just line up the holes and you're done. The hard part is the double stick tape. My suggestion is to install with trunk open. Have 1 person on each end and one in the middle lining up the holes. Duck tape the screws from the inside first so that you have a good guide to go by. hope this helps
