comparison of Hawks and OER wraparound spoilers opinions please
I was talking to a guy on FB and he mentioned the hawks spoiler was a closer repro I wanted to put this out and see what Y'all have noticed if you have either one, I currently been waiting for a OER 3 months and Hawks say that have that much of a delay also - UGH
what have you guys seen, please post up which one you have and your issues fitting and how it compares to OE
Pics were sent by FB guy same car different spolers
Thanks
I believe the picture above is the Hawks spoiler
and this is OER the side spears are "thicker" than the hawks
Re: comparison of Hawks and OER wraparound spoilers opinions please
I have the Hawks wrap around as well. I like it overall. You have to modify the 3rd brake light housing, shave it down on top half. Keep the curve but shave it down. Mine came out fine. If I have 1 complaint its the mounting on the sides They just give you 2 metal clips. It doesnt use the plastic ones form the factory. I may modify mine to use the clips but the ones provided seem to be OK.

I bought mine from Hawks 2 years ago. We had to do some prepping/sanding and sanded the third brakelight housing a bit. Overall great fit and finish. It depends on prepwork of the spoiler. On and off several times till I was happy. Some of the pictures of hatch while it was popped open.

3 Months? Why so long?
Once you get it you will be happy despite minor changes to the 3rd brake light you will need to do. I really like mine a lot. Its very light and easy to work with. Plus less stress on the lift shocks.

it was and is now mine!
$$& but it really saved on shipping and it was already bodyworked....didnt appear to have issues with the center light though?
Re: comparison of Hawks and OER wraparound spoilers opinions please
I have had the Hawks spoiler for 5 years now. I like it. I had my body shop guy paint and fit it. He did have to modify the 3rd brake light a bit but a great fit.
We didn't use the clips provided with the kit, instead I remember a thread here on the install. The thread will probably show up if you do a search. We used pan head sheet metal screws to mount the sides using the stock brackets on the rear window.
The thread even gave the size of screw.
