Besides cost, what's the diff Stivo vs. Beat-Sonic roof spoilers

Stivo Roof Spoiler:


Beat-Sonic Roof Spoiler:


They both look to have very similar shapes and flaring, and both look like they continue the contouring from the roof.

Off the bat the only thing I discern (might not even be correct) is that the beat-sonic spoiler sits more flush in relation to the roof, vs the Stivo looking like it has a bit of a lip where it meets-up with the roof line.

Anyone with actual experiences with these?

Thanks.

I have the Beatsonic version.
The shape is bang on but I feel the leading edge that mates to the roofline, is a bit thick. Other than that it follows the contour of the dip in the roof and it is easy to align when mounting since it matches the shape so well.
The paint colour match is very good too (Scion Ultramarine Blue in my case)

The stivo duck bill spoiler had horrible fitment,duo I wouldn't expect any better on this. Beat sonic actually comes stock from the dealerships now,so that tells you the quality is there

Huh? You sure you're not thinking of the Sharkfin Antenna? I'm not aware of a roof spoiler being part of the stock package now.

I'm talking about the stivo trunk duck bill spoiler having bad fitment and the dealership using the shark fin antennas.sorry for not making that clear. I don't think anything stivo will be quality. Never heard of anything beat sonic having fitment issues though

I have the Beat-sonic spoiler. Very happy with the fitment and color match.
