Angry Veilside spoiler fittment not so good!

Who else on this site has a Veilside V2 spoiler?????? And how well did it fit!

If I push the wing flush on the back of the trunk lid, it doesn't sit low enough and I have this look!


If I lower the edge to sit flush with the deck lid edge I get this gap!


Any suggestions??????????????????????????????????

Is it the real deal or replica? Also who installed the wing? I would assume screws and double sided tape were in order for proper fitment.

Its authentic Veilside. It has 2 bolt holes under the top to pull it down and I was going to use 3M autobody tape on the "arms". The two side tape may actually raise it even more. Thats why I was hoping someone here had installed one to check their fittment and maybe some tips.

i got the version1 veilside...the first one i got was cracked when i recieve it and cracked even more when it was tightened down on the trunk...after waiting 3 months for a replacement from veilside the second one has a gap underneath one of the tips that lays on the trunk...mine doesnt look that bad. if i were u i would try to get a replacement cuz that looks like ****, but be ready to wait for a while cuz if noone has it in stock it may take some time to get a replecement from japan. the wing is fiberglass and stuff like this happens.

Is that why you have the "Z" there? To hide the screw??????
