Nice, it comes painted too with a 3/36 warranty, you can't beat that. I wonder if it hangs low enough to cover the marks left over by my current factory tailgate cap (not that I can afford to buy one now anyway, but I'll put it on my future wish list )

only thing i really didnt like about it, it said that install was done using 3M adhesive tape.. i am thinking this doesnt use any type of hardware to fasten...

i just cant picture a spoiler hanging on by 3M tape at the speeds i do.

Yea, I've read that about the actual RST spoilers too, 3M tape is all that holds it on...my truck isn't that fast, but I do drive it fast at times and I do go through car washes that might tear it off...but I really like the spoiler. It looks really good, and I'll bet that it secures pretty good when properly installed (mating surface cleaned and prepped). You'd be surprised at how many manufacturers use 2-sided tape to hold mouldings and cladding on.

LOL, I have to buy a transmission, then put my LQ9 together first...and a truetrac and front diff, then maybe I can think about a spoiler. Although if I got it now it would make my truck LOOK faster as it sits waiting for me to save up the coin for an FLT

How do you think it would do in a car wash?

once the tape is stuck it isnt coming off easily. just make sure the edges are down as much as possible and ull be fine. the RST doesnt fit as tight as id like but it looks great from the side and all angles... heres some pics:
