finished up the work on the spoiler yesterday, got it primered and on the car for a test fit today. I reinforced the mounting area with 1/2" lengths of aluminum tubing and lots of epoxy. the epoxy is just there to strengthen the mounting area, the tubes are pressed in pretty tightly.
put it on with zip ties, didn't even put all 20 in there. Drove it into town, took it to some places I go all the time, and up a pretty steep and hilly road.. I did scrape ONCE, but the lip did not come off. I think the big thing with these lips is keeping them on the car.. if you run it over, it's toast.
anyway, here's the pics. My car is really dirty, although you can't tell (zymol rocks). it's been raining for 2 weeks straight.
I took it off when I got home, got the final coat of primer on it and tomorrow it's the base, then the clear. should have it on the car friday or saturday. hopeflully mine lasts more than 4 days, I'd like to get at least one summer out of it. :P
as far as it being a little short.. meh. it's barely noticeable, and I still have plenty of room for adjustment. it's good enough, and this particular spoiler is probably not worth putting a ton of effort into if I'm just going to break it into 50 peices. it will look good until that moment though. :)
