Well, it was supposed to be delivered today, which is awesome because I'm off tomorrow, but alas - DHL can't read and said I apparently no longer live at my address because the house on the other side of the cul-de-sac is for rent.
So I'm on with chat support to see about getting it tomorrow.
Hopefully an update will be given.

Looking forward to seeing it. The spoiler is sitting in my ebay shopping cart

Just a note to those planning future installs. There are basically two types of installations depending on the spoiler. One comes with locator strips to help locate the hole location for drilling and others use 3M emblem two sided tape. While I could have gone tape only on mine I opted to drill the 4 small holes but skip the one above the brake light due to access limitations. On that section I did use the 3M tape. My tip for those that go the compete tape route is to get #M's adhesion promoter wipes. Using these wipes before installing the tape itself greatly improves the holding power of the tape.

Yup, that is important. Or use some 91% Isopropyl Alcohol to clean and prep the surface, that's really all those adhesion promoters are! I went the 3M 1/4 inch double sided and did not drill holes. You will not get them off without some heat and patience, but it won't destroy your paint if you do it right. Once I had it sitting where I wanted it, I used tape and marked it so I could sit the spolier right back where I wanted it once all of the double sided tape was put on the spoiler.

I mean, it said schediled for delivery on Monday night after I chatted with the first DHL rep. Then at about 5pm yesterday I hadn't heard anything, so I chatted again and the new rep said it wasn't being delivered on the 18th, but today, the 19th. The tracking says (as of 11:30pm 4/18) that it's "scheduled for delivery" again - we'll see...

I ordered two trunk struts from Rock Auto back on the 2nd. DHL website status has not changed since then. I contacted RA and suggested they use another delivery company because DHL sucks....I guess their initials stand for "Doesn't hurt to be late"

Okay so.... I am actually super impressed by this thing!
I should have got the bigger one, but it looks pretty good!
Paint code on the decal underneath:
My car has been repainted, but I would say the match is pretty good. Also please ignore the mess that my work bench is. Yikes.
I'm content with it.
Here it is attached with some light on it to show the color difference/match... I'd call it 99% good.
It came with a tiny little decal that I decided to put on the spoiler itself.
Honestly, for $72 shipped, minus my rewards points which made it about $48 - I'm very happy with the purchase.
