I've seen several different original manufacturers of rear spoiler Hardware but this one's unique to me and I wanted to make sure it's legit before I list it. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks





Rich the acorn nuts look correct as well captured washer nuts. The incorrect acorn nuts I've seen have a smaller dome and don't have the machining pattern on the dome.


Here's a picture of an original. I can provide dimensions if you like.




Thanks!

Thanks Steve. I thought so but just wanted to make sure. Because original acorn nuts in this style are so hard to find. They already found a new home :-)
