I will tell you first hand that if you're a perfectionist you will be disappointed..
After doing some research I now understand why some vendors do not offer spoilers, or charge outrageous prices for them.
To do it correctly, I believe you have to use a 3 piece mold.
The most common issue with the C7 Carbon spoiler is small gaps between the rear deck and the left and right leading edge sections. The middle and the ends are usually flush, as well as the back (so from the rear of the car, they look great).
And no, you can't "sand out" the gaps I am referring to.
Good luck.

Fits like crap & looks it too. My friend has it on his CG C6. You can see the weave through the paint (They painted it) & there are gaps between the spoiler & the body. Their parts are Chinese made so not surprised. Go elsewhere.

It took a little time, but it can be made to fit good. I have it. For the price it is pretty good. Hit me up if you would like to see first hand what it looks like.

I dont have the C7 peice but i have the Katech extended spoiler and it fits great. But thats also kinda like comparing a mustang to a corvette. I paid over a grand though and im a firm believer of you get what you pay for.
