Re: "real" jdm spoiler ???

black one looks jdm, the green one looks like a regular US one. it's also cheaper, so makes sense.

does the jdm spoiler use the same mounting holes as the US one?

Re: "real" jdm spoiler ???

Since both spoilers originate from the factory in Gunma it's a safe bet they are the same.

Also it is commonly presumed that the taller wrap-down-the-sides type of spoiler is the one and only JDM type because it was made available only in the home market for 91-93 models Version L and Version E. It is not generally appreciated that the "US type" was also available in the home Japanese market later on for the SVX.

So like they are both "real"

And the "US type" was also available in the UK, Australia and in Continental Europe.

just thought you should know these things.

Yes, and no. The JDM type wing uses two of the same holes, but the other two must be drilled out to accommodate it. If you open your trunk lid and look inside, you can see where you're supposed to drill the second set of holes.
