S281 flush mount rear spoiler just arrived. Looks good. Just one minor blemish that looks like it can be buffed out of existence! Foam securely and accurately placed. The 4 rather chunky heads on the screws seem like they might not bury flush enough. I’m sure I’m wrong but test fit will be the tell.
Well, the test fit was a nightmare. None of the original holes line up in a way to make the spoiler set and align correctly. Even tried to remove the trunk lid to work on it on the bench, but couldn’t get the double-thick wire loom pulled through. Got too frustrated and pissed off, so tomorrow all the wiring gets buttoned back up and I’ll just work on it on the car. Fuggit. There will be visible holes to fill unless I put the original back on.
I've never seen one where the spoiler doesn't cover the original holes. Not all brands use the original holes, but they always at least cover them when installed.
Also, those dont look like machine screws.
