So got the ecs CF rear spoiler- on the site says recommend ES#244323 adhesive- which I ordered -
There is not enough adhesive to make that second row under the spoiler - the spoiler cane with a thinner adhesive that I'm wondering if I should use but thinking since not same thickness might impact the fit -

Pretty annoying if they know it's not enough to cover two rows of adhesive they should say that - now I have to wait or try to use the thin roll?

I like the fit and finish so far some small imperfections between the right and left side of the spoiler- where the spoiler makes a edge to butt against the trunk lid what I noticed do far

Just some recommendation- I originally ordered this with my CF rear spoiler as the recommendation on th CF order page-

The CF spoiler comes with plenty of adhesive to install the spoiler- it's thinner in width and height than this heavier duty part ecs recommends -

When I tried installing the spoiler there is not enough of the heavier duty adhesive to get two rows of adhesives on the spoiler and I had to stop installation and wait for yet another order of this- almost $40 of this adhesive -

You should sell enough of this adhesive to install the spoiler - if I had known I would of used the adhesive it came with- I can't supplement with the adhesive it came with as it's notnsame height (thinner) and might not evenly attach the spoiler -

I am running the same spoiler with only the recommended adhesive strip. After 2+ years of autobahn I have had no issues (not slow miles either). As for fit and finish, mine came with 2 tiny scratches on the right side. Other than that, nothing else.
