That looks sharp. crossbranding parts doesn't always work well, but not the case here

I really like this.

Im assuming its attatched on the trunk/hatch, right? Would that affect opening the hatch all the way?

3M taped right on the glass. I placed mine right behind the gap between the glass parts. it does catch on the roof a little bit, but it's rubber so nothing gets hurt and the hatch opens all the way.

So you didnt paint yours?? How does it look from close??

I have a lip spoiler on my car I think it will look good if I get it and leave it unpainted.

Plus putting CF on the glass will break up the clean black line, it will look out of place. Gloss black IMO would look best, something that blends nicely with the glass its self.

I might do it, got a few more little things I want to get first

I plan to do this, I actually got an M3 spoiler, 43", but it was like .725" too long! So now I need to get another one.

captainlaziness, what size is yours again?

just measure it and get it cut somewhere..probably be easier than buying a new one

I actually already looked into that. It'd be about the same price as a new one to get it cut. The bodyshop said they'd cut the overage length from the center, then they'd have to wed them back together. Then it'd need repainted and cleared so you didn't see the initial cut.
