Any feedback on the Evo R rear duck lip spoiler?

I have an order in with Shine for their spoiler, but they also have a 6 month wait. I saw that Evo R is now selling a similar version, but not many details on it. They're selling the, on ebay and half of the pics are of cars I know are running the Shine spoiler.

EVO-R Mazda RX-7 FD3S FC3S

So...anyone using them? Worth the discount over shine to try them out?

I wouldnt mind getting one too but I can decide between Shine and Evo R. Are there any other choices that are low profile like these as classy?

To my knowledge they're the only ones of this type. The next closest thing would be the people that make tail light covers with integrated spoilers but I don't like the tail light cover portion.

Slideways, you have any other pics of the spoiler you can share?

no issues with it. fitment was pretty much spot on.

Sorry do dig up an old thread but did you just use the double sided tape for install? I noticed there are holes on the bottom but that doesn't make much sense to me since it mounts on the lights. I just got one and it fitment is a smidge off so not sure if the tape alone will do the job..

I ended up getting a Shine spoiler. For installation I used a 2-part epoxy to bond the spoiler to the center tail light, and then used double-sided tape on the outside lights. I replaced all of my tail light bulbs before the install.

I just use double-sided 3M tape to stick it to the center light, nothing on the tail lights. It's sturdy and show no gap, and you can remove it by unbolting the center tail.

Mine is the Shine spoiler, but I'm sure the install is the same between the two.
