Default WHO MAKES THIS DUCKBILL?

I understand these are spoon/ style carbon duckbills, but the majority of duckbills for the ek i see flare upwards. I DONT WANT THAT. I want one that doesnt flare up and just goes straight back along with the body line.

NO



YES


P.S. NO its not the angle of the picture. Ive seen in person.

1st picture-Authentic, quality.

thats weird cuz ive owned 2 replicas and they flare up like the rest of them as seen on the "authentic" first image. imo the replica "junk" looks better so its a matter of who gets lucky to get a flatter one? damn...

The replica finish/material is way worst, especially where the spoiler lines up to the roof and it's much bulkier. A lot of people prefer the original design, but I guess it's a matter of opinion.

A few years ago I had an EK hatch, and before I bought a Spoon duckbill I had gotten a replica, fit poorly but it was almost straight with the roof line just like that picture so you'll have to hope the design was poor or find a used one and test fit it.

First one is real but it's tilted.
Second one isn't real and isn't tilted.

Here's how a real one looks without that crazy jdmsuperdownforce tilt



The paint was an accident, underneath it's genuine Spoon CF yo.

On my previous car I had an Ebay duckbill btw, and it didn't look as nice as the real one I have now.
Didn't fit too good either, it didn't match the roof line and even scratched the roof when I opened my trunk.
