Awesome! Thanks for being the guinea pig! Any chance you can take pictures from the front and side of the car?

Yeah it's a decal. It comes in the package but I chose to put it on the spoiler itself.

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.
looks great! Cant beat the price for a subtle spoiler, im shocked at the paint match and quality. Nice buy and share

if i dont go the tiger shark route I’ll definitely grab one of these

Sure. I can when I leave work. The car is my daily - so I have it pretty much always. 286,000 miles and counting...

Is there a reason why you didn't set it all the way back to the back edge? Just liked it there?

Ray, I have to admit that is better than I thought it would be. Glad you're happy with it.

If you look at it in person the back edge has a rolled corner (sort of) that made it not really sit flush no matter what.

Thanks a bunch! It's pretty subtle, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

I think the taller one would look pretty good, and judging on this particular paint job, might be worth the premium.

Need someone else to be the guinea pig first
Even if they had their own pic of it on a C5, that might be enough for me haha.
EDIT: Just noticed they don't list the bigger one (called "Y15") in quicksilver metallic paint code WA519F. I'm sure I could ask...

Well, it's been a while and seems nobody was going to be the guinea pig for the bigger Y15 spoiler.
FYI a while back the seller told me they could paint Y15 in WA519F silver, just need to add that to the order comments.

Aaannnddd... yesterday ebay notified me of a deal/offer for $128+tax on the Y15. So I looked into it more again, though I was kinda on the fence about the Y15's shape based on pictures they have of it on other cars. Granted all cars have a different tail end shape so it's hard to tell.

But then also yesterday I received a check with some extra (unexpected) money, and saw that as the sign I needed to proceed forward with ordering the Y15 spoiler. Hopefully it will arrive in a couple weeks.

BTW ​​​​@Stingroo wondering if you might be able to fix your image links?

Last night I got a shipping notification for the order, about 36 hours after purchase. I'm feeling skeptical it will be the correct color (the listing was for a black-painted spoiler) since they shipped so quickly. In any case, like @Stingroo they shipped DHL and tentative delivery is 2/20 which is quite soon.

This is insane... the Fyralip Y15 spoiler arrived yesterday 2/19... and PAINTED IN SILVER (despite my skepticism). 5 days total including painting and shipping from Taiwan. Even caught a whiff of fresh paint upon opening the box

Got it installed but don't have pictures yet.

Hope y'all will forgive my delay in posting these initial pictures. The car still doesn't have a shifter in it yet so they're just messy garage pics for now:

Snapped some outdoors pics yesterday. For the most part I like it, there are a couple odd angles though. For the price I'm satisfied (so far). Worst case scenario, I just remove it.
