Ford Bronco Sport Badlands
I recently installed this rear spoiler that I got from Amazon. It's not the Air Design, but it looks well-built and is half the price. My only issue was that they did not provide any adhesive, only the 3M tape. Since I also was installing the hood scoop from Air Design, I used some of the polyurethane adhesive that they provided. There was plenty left over. I really like the look.

A few notes:

1. First I checked fit n finish on the part. Got this Fenqing part off Amazon per your inputs, with a $10 coupon there netting a final price of $108 with free Prime shipping. Part arrived timely and well-packaged, with flawless paint (and note: I am *extremely picky*!)
2. I tested the fit. See my pix. Integration of the part with my Sport’s rooflines and trim lines was amazing and gorgeous! I’ve prepped and painted two of my own cars in the past (1970 Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe, and 1978 Chevy K5 Blazer 4WD)… so while I’m not a pro at such things… I do at least have some experience.
3. The spoiler teeters on its midsection, and stands off the tailgate top by about 1/16 to 1/8 inch at each end. Not a big deal… if you trust 3M two-side trim tape 100%. I do not. So:
4. After my test fit, and after removing the red film from the 3M tapes, I plopped 7 spots of Shoe Goo on the spoiler beside them. Three at each longitudinal end, where the tape segments meet… and one spot too, ending up just above the CHMSL center tail light once installed. The Goo dots are primarily for providing additional stick toughness in hot n cold temps, but also for defeating the tendency of the ends to unstick n let the whole thing take flight someday. The goo dots though, also help make a 100% drip seal so stray water won’t drip down thru the part eventually.
5. Placement was done slowly and carefully. I lined up the two top corners before tilting the part down into roof contact… since once it really touches, no further adjustments will be possible. Then I pressed all the tape spots firmly into contact and held each for about five seconds. Note - one tape on each side ( not near any edge, and a non-critical attachment imho) failed to reliably stick. But all the others did, and stayed. My Shoe Goo dot above the CHMSL was a little too much goo, and was showing a little… I simply did a slow finger wipe to correct the issue and then all was fine.
6. I put a little duct tape on each corner top, wrapping it down a little onto the metal hatch… and will remove tmro.

IMHO looking good overall now. I really enjoy this spoiler’s shape and subtle integration with the existing body roofline on this car. It’s just “enough “ to make the rear “look proud “… without it looking trashy. And I’m on a budget… so I have zero qualms about getting a stick-on spoiler from Amazon :)

Oh forgot two things. One, I washed the tailgate top with Dawn dish soap n water to strip off car wax before starting; and two, I would strongly recommend doing the install when parts and car are above 60F.
