Glad to see one installed that is look’n good. I saw a side shot of another car with what I thought was the euro spoiler and I did not like it at all. It must have been another brand. Thanks for the photos.

For others that are considering this one and plan to install it yourself, it’s all or nothing from what I can see. You either go-forward with Adhesive mount and keep your fingers cross, or Drill it. The spoiler has to be off before marking and drilling so once it’s on there, there is no going back. Let me know what you think.
I know it needs lowered, that's next

I think you are right. I'll look at it tonight. I also think that since the spoiler has one foot all the way across the only way to get it down tight is to drill, bolt and tighten.

How is the paint match?

The paint is about as good as you can hope for, 90% accurate. No dust under the clear coat; it's nice, smooth and glossy. As others have noted it's almost impossible to get something other than metal to paint to exactly the same color even if the paint is mixed correctly because of the chemical reaction (I guess is what causes that), but I think it's pretty good. If anyone has had body work done before, some colors are very tough to match. My last car, a 2000 Chrysler 300M was Silver Flake and the dealer scratched it while it was in for service!! They painted the door and it did not match. They finally had to paint the entire side of the car to make it unnoticable. That's the worst, 71,000 and not one door ding or scratch until that day. Since you are not going to blend this paint job into your truck lid I think it very acceptable, at least on mine, and I'm very picky.

I agree with bolting it down rather than two-sided tape. Are there threaded holes already in the spoiler to accept bolting it on, if so how many? Thanks.

There are three holes. My guess is one is an air release hole, to prevent the air inside from expanding on hot days and cracking to fiberglass. There are two threaded holes one on each side about six inches in from the edge. I'll flip it over tonight and post some pics. That will help answer some questions.

It's mounted, fits very well and seem very secure. Here are a few photos.
Bottom of spoiler, rear edge facing to the right:
Another from above...
Back left side of spoiler once mounted looking into recessed area of spoiler.
Another shot looking into recess.
Any finally a shot debadged. I am curious as to what others think about debadging LP.
PS: I decided not to drill mount. If it flys off tomorrow, I'll let you know.
