I got mine from Firebird Central.

Found the same "hairline / fine crack" located driver side, semi-mid span, rear facing. It is small, ~ 3/4" long, but did need fixing. Likely a mold issue; thin spot. I caught that but the primary work involved the stands. The did not match side to side. See email to them below. I remedied it and it came out fine. Definitely not a straight bolt-on deal but also not overly difficult to fix. Come to expect such these days with aftermarket vs OEM.

I would not hesitate to buy again. Great guys to work with.

Email to supplier: ""I got the spoiler and mocked it up yesterday. All looks decent considering the relative cost and rarity compared to an OEM version. One issue though. The vertical stand on the my Driver's side is 3/8" too tall (these were pre-installed BTW if that helps). This makes the spoiler crooked when viewed from the rear but also the distance from the top of the rear quarter panel is too high on the same side (drivers). The stands look the same side to side. Is there a way to get another passenger side stand and I will return the drivers side?

I ask as one cannot lengthen the short one. While it would make it straight versus the other side, it would result in the whole spoiler being too high referencing the quarter panels. In turn, I cannot shorten the Driver's side as there is not enough "meat"; runs into the fasteners (bottom side) or the contoured scallops (top side).

I hope this makes sense. I can call if that helps explain it.

Thank you.

PS: I understand there is probably not a Driver"s and Passenger's side to the vertical stands as they come from the supplier. Saying that, they do need to match though. Both need to be the shorter version (in my example the Passenger side).""
