I can tell you its a fake, as its not even a V5 spoiler only the v6 has the raised lip at the top. The top plane is totally flat on the V5 and also the factory spoiler has bolts in the middle of the bootlid

V5 spoiler



OEM V6

It's advertised as a v5/6. He states its off a s reg that is being broken.

Thanks for you help guys.

In your second pic, the holes should look like this:
