Okay, I ordered the same spoiler from this ebayer in fiberglass format with my color pre-painted. The fitment for the top and bottom of the trunk is great, flush with no gap, except for the corner at each end where it curves 90 degrees, there is like a max 1/8" gap. They came with some adhesive for you to apply onto the spoiler and stick it to your truck, but I decided to install it with 3M double sided tapes. I mean the gap won't noticebly from a distance away, but still.... no sure if I want to put it on, it is still sitting at my living room. Mine is in SGM color, anyone interested??

I used the 3m tape to install mine too, cause that adhesive will tear the paint off. Sorry guys I havent had time to take pictures but i promise they will up soon. And about that 1/8 gap, mine has a small one too but nothing noticible. it doesnt bother me.

I don't like this. It's looks like a copy of the m3 spoiler.

Personally, the INGS doesn't look a thing like the M3 Spoiler whatsoever IMO.

I took pics with my cell phone, I'll post up pics in a minute. Yes, it does have a "gap" at the edges. It's not horrible. on a SGM & Black, it'll be less noticable. But what didja expect from a copy piece from Taiwan? For $180 shipped and painted. I'm all for it!

It looks good, just install it and be happy. Will edit my post later with pics.

LOL, were you sitting there refreshing this page patiently for the past 3 hours?

Excuse the horrible quality of the pictures! I took it with my cell phone under the worst settings, since I had to send it to myself via MMS and there is a size limit cap to send it.

I took some high res pics with the cell, that I can upload when I get home.
