Yup, I have it. I think this is the one you're looking for anyway. I have mine installed with double sided tape. Been on for quite a few years now. Little tip for the install if you get one, leave it in the sun for a couple hours before so it's more forgiving and pliable. I love the look it gives the car.

For some time, I have been undecided whether to alter the GM OME design of my Vert to add a spoiler. Looking again at yours and the on others, I threw the switch and ordered my SLP today. Your cars look great.
I have had a spoiler exactly like that on my car for quite a number of years. It was put on with the adhesive tape and I have not had any problems.
A couple of things you should be aware of... I've got the spoiler installed with the 3M tape only, for about 9 years with no problems. You cannot bolt it on; there's no flange that you could attach it to the car. (and no need) The spoiler is amazingly flimsy when you get it out of the box, but don't be alarmed; it's very sturdy when installed. Be careful when installing; the fluid that you need for the tape to bond will is very runny, so if you're not careful, it will leave a permanent paint run. It dries quickly, too. When I installed mine, it didn't come with the fluid, but they may do things differently now. Have a buddy help you just to keep it square, and don't forget to test fit it dry to get the feel of placement. These things look great, IMO.
Yes, I'd like to know about this "fluid" as well. I thought that most people were just cleaning the area where the spoiler goes and just using the Double Sided Tape..

This 3M Primer 94 doubles the adhesion.
It's like a clear solvent and clean to work with, doesn't get on your fingers.
This can is 20.00 but it's available in small tubes
Here's my SLP

I took several hours to install mine the way I wanted it.
My goal was that you CANNOT see the tape once the spoiler is on the car. The instructions are good, but you will see a bit of grey in the gap.
My remedy was to only remove a very small area of the backing to the tape and put the spoiler on and take a look. What I ended up doing was moving the tape "inward" toward the center-line of the spoiler just a bit in order to make the tape not visible when installed. Once I found the "sweet spot" for the tape, I followed the instructions for installation. This was a "trial and error" process but the end-result was well worth the effort.
It's not hard, and if you achieve my goal you will notice that others did not take the OCD time to get it "better" than the instructions.
Good timing for this thread. Mine has just changed to "shipped" status today from RPI. Not sure when I'll get to install, but subscribed to learn the tips being offered.
