Got it installed today. Cleaning the crud off the paint under the OEM spoiler was the hardest part. This is the matte finish.

G-DAMN those pieces look good! I was just falling in love with my 17+ OEM spoiler with gurney flap too...
Looks like I still got my name in for the 17+ fitment! Any IDEAL methods for covering up the holes if replacing OEM spoilers? (2013-2016 and 2017+ models) I was thinking some vinyl squares?

After having a could days to look at mine and how it sits on the car, here is my only criticism:
I wish the emboss where the tape sits under the wing was a little deeper so that the wing sits more flush with the surface of the deck lid. The emboss looks to be about 0.5-1.0mm deep where the 3M tape is about 1.5-2mm thick. This leaves a subjectively noticeable gap that's most noticeable at the leading edge of the wing. I don't think the standard passerby would notice, but its something I've noticed when installing and keep noticing as I check out the car walking through the garage. I don't think it would affect functionality at all; purely aesthetic. |

There is obviously a give and take with fitment and best bond characteristics. We wanted to ensure the double-sided tape had the best possible chance at adhering to both the spoiler and the trunk; so by nature, the tape has to be slightly thicker than the recess. This ensures a good bond joint when you place the spoiler on the trunk. Thanks, Eric |

Ohhh this looks nice, Eric. Wonder what affect it would have w/ the Aero of the tS wing!

In all reality, the issue is not all that serious. |

For those that are still interested, Verus is now taking names for the 17+ ducktail. The more that sign up, the cheaper it will be. The time has come for us 17+ boys and girls
