its sitting too high on the hatch. not sure if thats from bad fittment or its just bad installation. the lower edge of the spoiler should be flush with the bottom edge of the hatch. when the ings is installed properly, its by far the best spoiler for the Z.

yes, if you buy it, make sure you take it to a good body shop that can fix the fittment if that is the problem.

i bought the same spoiler on ebay...buy it if your looking for a cheap spoiler but it is far from perfect...as you can see in the picture it doesnt rest against the bottom of the hatch like the real deal...and there were a ton of waves and fitment issues w/ the replica...in retrospect i wish i would have just saved my money for the real ings...like they say you get what you pay for and the spoiler will most likley be on your car for a while so why not save a little longer and get the real deal.

it does not look like a good copy too. looks fatter / chubbier than the original.
I have the original. if you flush the bottom, there will be like a 3-4mm gap by the sides. Not so perfect as well. but it sits on the trunk pretty well. i sent it for paint without any 'repair'
