Have you ever heard of weasel words? Unfortunately, that is what they are using here. If you pay close attention to their wording, it clearly states "OEM Factory Style". That last word, Style, pretty much sums it up for you. Keep an eye out in the forums, you are bound to jump across an OEM spoiler. IMHO, buying OEM products is the only way to ensure 100% fitment. Yeah it sucked when I spent $500+ on my OEM spoiler, but it was worth every penny. Fitment was excellent

Stay away from knock-offs .... I read post after post from people who pay 30-40k for a car and then want to buy the cheapest POS spoiler they can find. For the life of me I can't understand it. If you want something that fits right and installs right ... just buy the factory one.

"OEM Factory Style"
style = like, copied, not oem, replica, modeled after.

I actually bought my spoiler for CarID.com and I love it. Fits great, looks good and it was reasonably priced.

good luck with yours, and i hope the best.
but from what i learned regarding cheaply priced aftermarket items is this: it changes shape due to weather & temps.
the paint fades/chips in the sun. and after a season or two of cold(shrink) - hot(expand) - cold(shrink) - hot(expand) and the item is worthless now.

perfect example is carbon fiber. have you ever seen cheap carbon fiber after a few summers? pealing yellow junk.

Here you go.

I have a G37X with a 3rd brake light in the rear window so I specifically did not get the spoiler with the brake light in it. I thought it would look dumb to have two 3rd brake lights.

that spoiler is not my thing. looks like a spoon/ beaver tail.
question, did it go on by drilling holes in the trunk like the OEM requires?
