Yes it is. It is their carbon fiber one piece spoiler they sell. The gaps were just not good enough. It would have snugged down tight with the bolts but then it was messing up the deck lid gaps. CF does not flex hardly. In addition the gap where the spoiler met the deck lid was not as tight as I would like it to be. We extended the deck lid to minimize the gap so no having that with the spoiler. So now it is a three piece spoiler with some twists.





I seem to have a habit of hacking up expensive carbon fiber pieces because I don't like the fit. I guess that is what makes a custom build vs just a bolt on build.

After hours of blocking it is ready for another coat of poly. The rockers came out great.

It will be electrical powered soft close but we are still weighing a couple ideas on execution. Will have a manual release if ever needed as well.

Working on the last details for the header panel front grill, bumper, etc fitment. A lot of hours spent to get it to this point.
