Just installed mine yesterday. I like it!
I screwed up a bit though. When I opened the trunk I realized it didn't get it completely up against the trunk. A narrow gap exists. But you couldn't tell and it's secure. It's just bugging me now but after the nightmare that was removing the residue from the previous glue, I have no appetite to adjust right now lol.

Removing that thing is a bit of a hassle, yes! If it's not to wide of a gap and it is well secure, don't worry about it.

But anyway, the spoiler does look great, I could hardly be happier with it.

How do you think you could have avoided the gap? Isn't it a result of the double stick tape?

I'll take a pic later today in case others read this thread and can avoid this same mistake....basically I could have 'pushed' the spoiler towards the front of the car another 5mm.

I know...dirty-a$$ car...blasphemy! Anyways as you can see I failed to ensure it was flush all along its edge. The ends are flush which is what I was feeling for during install and assumed all was flush. You can't tell and it's very secure but it still bugs me. Such a bitch to prep so it's staying like this for the foreseeable future.

Hmmm, I'd also say f**k it... it seems secure enough and you cannot tell unless the trunk is open, right?

Correct. You really have to go looking for it.
