i bought the 5Axis spoiler only and i can tell you that its not exactly a perfect match - on the spoiler only its not a big deal but i can also see the differences in the pic- its more in person i bet and in the sunlight especially.

Look at that "stack-o-dimes"! Impressive welds. Nice to see that the developer is using SolidWorks too! That's what I use 8 hrs + a day.

You should paint your emblems in gold. White and gold like the power ranger.
