Its made of a foam rubber. I had an original 1 piece wrap around spoiler for a 1st gen a while back and it was the same material.

I have the exact same spoiler, it's more like a combination of rubber and foam, the body stiffness of foam but the strength of rubber.

Very low profile.

Check out my images for how it looks mounted:
