Way to Cheap?

Seems way to cheap to be worth anything good, but if its a good product no sense in spending 200+ for the same thing. Anyone know much about this item? seems like seller has + reviews. Is 3m Tape easy to remove or will it damage paint upon removal?

TGTBT, I think. The cross section looks like it sticks upwards from the top rather than wraps around (and down) the trailing end of the trunklid.

Also, the description says it's unpainted. So you'll need to deal with the hassel of priming and painting it AFAIK.

Wading through the crap, I see that it's made of "high quality" PUF which I'm guessing is polyurethane foam.

Run the other way.

I don`t see why I can`t look for cheaper alternative if it ends up being a good find. **** if pee could be used for gas i would. I`m only 20 and paying for my car is hard enough as it it, but id still like my car to look as good as it can be.
