Very Cheap Alternative to the Factory Spoiler!!!!

I've had mine for almost a year now and it's been great. The only thing that annoys me is that water ALWAYS gets trapped under the spoiler when it rains

This^^

I understand that a replica will NEVER be as good as factory, but this is damn close. I have had really no complaints whatsoever. I would recommend this to everyone who doesn't want to fork out for the factory one. Who knows the paint could actually be better than factory...

I just took my factory one off for a repaint, I can tell you it has waay more than 2 screws. It has 4 screws + something like 8 clipon bracket type things.

But what I can tell you is that it's pretty sealed along the edges, did the seal go all the way around in this one? Or are there gaps?

To be completely honest I do not remember if it did or not. I am perfectly happy with mine though, and it saved me some money!!

I dont know about that. My factory spoiler, though it seems like its tightly sealed, still traps some water after wash/rain.
