Do you think you can modify a SpoilerDepot Sportdesign Spoiler to look more OEM?

I just can't get by the thickness at the edges of the Spoilerdepot version of the SD spoiler after seeing the real deal...just look at the differences in thickness. Does anyone think that you can make the Spoiler depot one look like the OEM..and what would be your path in doing so....thanks guys!

Something has either changed or not right. Members have bought from Spoiler Depot before and they look like the OEM sport design. That first pic is definitely not the same one sold by Spoiler Depot in the past.

Looks good! If I ever get a spoiler it will be this one, nice and subtle.

Strange. I have the one from SpoilerDepot. It is not that thin as an OEM one, but definitely not as thick as the one you post on the first picture.
