To Spoiler or Not To Spoiler

I’m going with the v-style matte carbon fiber from RPM. I ordered a matte black and plastic version from Amazon and when it came in today not only is it 9 inches from the trunk opening line (vs 5 inches from RPM), but it just looks cheap. I agree as I debated on whether or not I want carbon fiber as I don’t plan on adding anything else on the exterior, but at the end of the day it won’t bug me.

You could always throw on the mirror caps. I think those look sharp!

Had someone professionally put on a performance Y replica CF spoiler. He used strong 3M automotive tape from end to end for the spoiler. Polished off the ceramic coating I had already on the lip to secure the spoiler on the lip and then reapplied the ceramic coat on the area.

With the mud flaps I had put on earlier, the look def looks more sporty.

Nice! What flaps did you end up getting?

I tried looking for other recessed v-style shape spoilers like what RPM has for sale, but everything else is 7-9 inches from the trunk line vs RPM which is 5 inches. I prefer that only because it will have a tighter fit and will not unstick as easily as the ones further away from the trunk line.

Im finally getting my RPM spoiler this Wednesday. Will put it on this upcoming weekend.

Save yourself the headaches and use strong weatherproof 3m automotive double sided on the first go and not the thin cheap china stuff u get with these cheaper spoilers.

How many inches inches is it from the trunk line on the left/right side. RPM’s recessed v-style is 5 inches which I prefer as it’s longer and will prevent it from unsticking.

Looks good, what spoiler do you have here?

I’m doing matte carbon as I bought the matte carbon license plate frame & matte carbon mirror caps. Mine is already matte White as I had XPEL Stealth done. If you plan to do more carbon I would go with the carbon spoiler. If not I would probably go with matte black.

Off topic question- how does the matte PPF look on the white?

We personally love it. The pearl still pops thru when the sun is hitting it. The ease of cleaning is the real show stopper. It can be wiped down at any time without fear of scratching the paint.

Anyone here have a strong opinion on whether or not a Satin Black spoiler that is ABS plastic will look cheap? I'm torn between getting the real carbon fiber spoiler from RPM or their ABS Satin Black one. I prefer the satin black look since there isn't carbon fiber anywhere else on the exterior, but if it's going to look cheap (it costs quite a bit less) or be brittle then I'll just go carbon.

I will post pictures this weekend when I put the RPM Performance Plus matte carbon spoiler on. Might help you decide? Will also be putting the matte carbon mirror caps on to go with the carbon license plate cover. I’m like you and didn’t want just a carbon spoiler. So I chose a few things to make it look like an accent.

I went all matte carbon on my exterior accessories (mirror caps, turn signal caps, door handles, front and rear spoiler). Happy with the choice. Waiting for Razzo spoiler from RPM. Happy with the decision.

Have they gave you an update on that yet? I switched as I was getting impatient.

According to RPM, they expect the next batch of Razzo matte any day. It’s only been almost two months
Will post as soon as it is installed. I currently have the RPM version of the OEM spoiler, so I was not in a huge rush.

Purchased the Tesmanian matte carbon spoiler for my MSM. Looks great. I was surprised however that they include some generic tape as opposed to the relatively standard 3M. Will not take a chance. Waiting to get to Lowe’s on the weekend.

The performance plus is molded on the ends to hug the rear hatch area better. I think it is going to stick a lot better. I’ve tried some knock offs and I can’t get them to stay down. I switched from the Razzo to this one, and used the savings to buy the matte carbon mirror caps. I think it will be a nice touch. Just have to have my PPF guy wrap the matte mirror caps in XPEL Stealth to protect them.

I just ordered this spoiler. Do the ends stick down?
