It cost less and is a little more aggressive. Paint matched perfect and fitment is perfect. I did have it installed by the dealership so no issues.

Did the dealership sell it to you kidcane? Or did you get it somewhere else and had them install?

Bought it from Grubbs online and had it installed at Lokey because I get club discount.

What do people do with the rear deck and 3rd brake light? How hard is it to replace that and how much would it cost? thanks in advance.

Either you disconnect it, or get this!

I bought one of these but can't decide if I want to keep it. It looks great from every angle except the rear, where it looks a bit fat. Did you drill the deck lid on your install on the outer holes? If I thought I could always take it off later I might install it but I figure the screws need to be there to hold the tips down nice and tight.????

I like the look of the Grubbs 2.0 but I'm kinda a fan of the Stillen since there's no drilling and no worry of leaks because it just goes right over the chrome piece.

The grubbs goes on top of the chrome piece as well. The only one that replaces the chrome piece is the OEM

I got the grubbs spoiler in the week, had to remove the chrome piece. I bolted it up before drilling and it looked a little fat to me compared to some pics I've seen here. I called them and sure enough, they sent me the wrong one..the "08" version instead of the "09". They are making good and sending me the new one but be careful on your ordering, apparently there are still some v1 out there.

Yeah man thanks, it was actually the pics you posted that made me question it, so thanks for taking the time. They are shipping the new one before expecting the old one so I will try to get some side by side pics.
