I'm sure those are not his pics. Also it is a new ebay account. I wouldn't get it myself it probably fits like crap.

Those spoilers do not look very aerodynamic.... I may be wrong, but somebody explain if they can...

i believe that spoiler is shaped the way it is to create more downforce for the rear of the vehicle.

i vote get it. install it (take plenty of pics) and come back and tell us how it is. looks different but thats not always a bad thing. especially because the honda scene went from mega rice to an OEM styled scene.

the green hatch is the one with a fiberglass "replica"
the white looks like it might actually be a bys carbon piece.
