would like to see pics of whole car. Looks like it is simply using the existing hardware that mounts the fenders and rear fascia to the car.

Not for me but if it works for you, then it is money well spent. Easy enough to put on with no drilling required into the car. Do you go to the track where you may really need that on the car? Just curious.

I like that it looks more functional than stylish, however it also looks too high. It goes beyond looking helpful over towards being high enough to be creating extra drag. I'd either cut it down or change it to something else. too high or maybe an adjustable gurney lip.

I think you're seeing the brackets mounted to the car without the clear spoiler attached yet. What you're seeing as the smaller spoiler is actually the black rear bumper cover of the car. I do agree though it's not to my taste.

I don't like it.
If you go on a road course at speed you will find yourself in the wall or worse, No down force balance between the front and rear of the car.
Good luck and be careful.

Wow, with the reflection it looks just like a smaller, tinted spoiler.

For autocrossing it looks like a good spoiler, for running HPDE events you will need to add front down force for balance. If you are just a boulevard cruiser then it is waste of money. When going to autocross events I put my rear spoiler on because if it cuts just 0.1 sec can make the difference between first or first,second, third, etc., place loser.
