Yeah that piece isn’t sold separately from the spoiler. Id bet it’s used on another part of the car, like an interior piece or something. Maybe Tcoat can help you find the piece, I don’t know how to acquire it.

Really pleased with how they turned out! @Drambeenie was right there when I needed him about the washer question. I was glad I sort of waited as I followed some of the advice of others on what to do and it took about 45min (just myself) to install. I think it came out great and I couldn't be happier.
I went out and picked up 4 extra M6 washers for the top of the spoiler as advised and everything felt really sturdy. Not having to remove the green clips was appreciated as well. I had a screenshot of @johan and @spike021 installs on my phone for reference. Thanks everyone!

@Drambeenie can probably explain better than me.

I'll be updating the inner piece design so that washers won't be needed in the future, and i'll be removing the black washers from where I was placing them. Also, testing a new piece of foam to put between the spoiler and the cover to prevent any water from getting in and from seeing the internal piece when looking at the spoiler. Basically fill the gap.

Couple questions: does the foam get compressed a bit to sit flush? and do the bolts on top need to be replaced with longer ones?

I suppose if your washer is really thick it might require a longer bolt, but the standard washer should be about 1mm in height. Good move. I think this foam is very similar to the foam you used. |

Just found one more reason I am glad I purchased these. Not only is the look so much better, but now when you are washing your car it is easy to clean/dry the trunk under the spoiler! That alone is worth the price!
Thank you! |

The problem I had was I reached out directly to one of these suppliers and they actually told me they only sell to OEMs. So unless you can prove you're an OEM then it probably won't be very easy to just buy these. I don't think it's like a regular store that you just log on, click buy, and it's fine.
