Well, I bit the bullet and ordered from Autoanything. Got sick of staring at that ugly *** chrome "lip" on my trunk. Plan to get it installed by a local shop when it comes in so they can be accountable for potential leaks and trunk drilling. Ordered with the brake light and will disconnect the existing brake light in the rear deck.

Nice man! Hope everything works out perfectly! Be sure to post pics when you get it and take some detailed pictures once installed.

+1 I'd like to see how flush it is once installed and see what kind of "seal" it uses, if it's rubber, foam etc.

I received the spoiler today from Autoanything. It appears to be of reasonable quality. The paint seems like a good match to my 2009 Black Obsidian G37x coupe. The seal they use around the edges is the double sided sticky tape as indicated earlier in this thread. It came with two screws, nuts, washers, and templates for drilling the holes into my baby I ordered the one with the brake light, which came in a separate bag and was not already attached to the bumper.

I plan on stopping at some local shops after work tomorrow to get estimates to install. Will update with pics once it's on there!

It's funny that this thread popped back up. I had a car come in today with an aftermarket spoiler, no idea who it's made by but it's an OE Style. The paint looked to be pretty good and matched, but man oh man the fitment is horrible. Glad I'm going with OEM, but again, I don't know the brand of this spoiler. The elite spoiler may be way better.

This side is a little worse on fitment, but it's because the double sided tape has lost its stickiness. You can push it down and it looks a little better.

I think you could get it to sit right with some new double sided adhesive, but just IMO, the hole cutout for the camera is awful. You can see the old chrome spoiler and everything.

I received the elitespoiler and have had it installed. Fitment is not perfect, but nothing like the one posted above. I plan on applying my own 3M double sided tape since the stuff that came with isn't all that great. Once I do that, i feel confident it will sit completely flush. Mine has a brake light, and i don't have a backup camera.

I will try to get some pics posted this week. So far I am pleased with the spoiler.

Nice man. I look forward to the pics and it should fit pretty good, hopefully. I think one of the biggest issues is the back up camera cut out. If you're tech package-less than this shouldn't be that big of a deal to go aftermarket.

Here are some pics. As you can see, there are a couple spots where i need to redo the tape, but for the most part fitment is pretty good. The installer ended up removing the chrome lip because he said he couldn't get the spoiler to go on straight with it on because of the brake light. Excuse the crappy phone pics and dirty car!

Yeah that looks a ton better than the one that came into my dealership today. Like you said, get some of your own 3M tape on there and it should be much better. Yours also looks smaller, more so like the OEM. This one that I saw was larger than OEM for sure.
