Does anyone know the part number for the two mounting screws? My car is missing one of the two. Previous owner must have knocked it pretty hard on a curb or it fell out.

Ahhhh the sacrificial splitter. Mine has a few scrapes. I'll replace it when it is time to sell the car.

Because that is what happens when you hit them hard enough over a speed bump.

Another ebay aero lip owner... I'm on my second. The lips are a great fit and last as long as the oem, which is to say until the first time you get surprised by an unmarked/unexpected decent size bump or dip, especially if you're not at the OEM 4x4-like ride height..

But at $102 shipped, not really a big deal to swap in a new one every few years.

I have 3 aerokit spoilers in rotation 2 oem and one ebay special. this is my first ebay version flex is more pliable than the oem version. for the money I think it's a value, the only draw back is the mould is relatively lumpy and needs some minor flll and blocking for a paint finish. no need to drill holes, came with plastic push pins instead of screws. should be able to use the stock screws. not sure how the fitment is at this point but looks ok so far...

I just got this one off ebay, looks pretty decent other than a slight bend at the top during shipping which should straighten out with a little heat. Have not installed since I gave the oem one a quick sand and spray with SEM bumper coater and it looks great. The price was right though, EBAY was (and still is) offering 10% off everything on my account so it came out to about 64$ shipped.
