Mine had gaps too where on the edges, it's off the glass but once I put the 3M tape and polyurethane glue on, the spoiler sat perfect on the glass.

I think the gap is there to match up with the width of the rear window. If you notice, there is also a gap between the window and the pillars. My spoiler from oem.thing was a spot on color match (SGM) and I have the same gap. But I felt that's how it was supposed to be...

I think the small space is there to line up with the glass, and for water to run off the roof. Plus if too tight it might rub when the roof flexes when turning. I didn't have any issue with it. The Tungsten Pearl color was spot-on.

I'm sure you can sell it at some point.

That's not bad of a fit.
From pictures, the paint's not that far off. It just comes with any add on pieces you do with SFP isn't it. Now i'm scared.

Fitment looks very good and the color is barely off. Pearls are very hard to match like others said. There is supposed to be a tiny gap on both sides, its not supposed to hit the body of the car.

Is the 3M tape sufficient to keep the spoiler in place or should additional adhesive be used???

Sorry for the noob question, but is there any problems removing these roof spoilers with a tinted window? Is the 3M tape too strong that it might leave some type of mark?
