2003 R Spoiler - OEM vs Mina
I spoke with Chris on the phone before ordering, was told it is an exact match. Ran down to the body shop today to take a few parts, while I was there I inspected the OEM with it off of the car, surprised to see mounting holes in the trunk when the Mina spoiler has nothing of the sort.
While the shape may be the same.. the base is not. R models have holes in the trunk that the spoiler snaps in to...along with about 1/4' strip of tape on the edges... it is raised higher. The Mina spoiler just barely covers up where the old spoiler went and my body guys are going to run some screws in from the bottom. Will it look ok installed? Sure, only the most astute R owner would ever know... but I thought I'd at least let you know about the difference.
I'm not knocking Chris, the shape IS the same and will look great on the car but just be aware of the difference if you are an R owner replacing a spoiler.
OH.. .and at 470.00 from the dealer Mina's spoiler saves you about 300.00.
