38" was me trying to run a tape around the outside contour by myself (I need a second hand to hold to get a precise measurement). It's definitely more than 34".

I picked one up that's 44" and will shorten it and fit to the car, then paint it gloss black to match the spoiler and wrap with red vinyl to continue my roof stripes. less than $40 spent maybe I'll buy a bunch, become a vendor and sell them under the 'Paolo Thuper' brand

Hey, more props to them if they can re-label a $10 ebay-style product and charge close to $400 dollars. That's some profit-making right there

i would say that is should work just fine. They basically have the same kind of shapes, and in the pics in a link someones had there was pics of one wrapped in a tight cirlce. So it should work.

They really do look like the same product. That would be crazy if PU was really taking a $20 spoiler lip & selling for $375 or whatever they get for it now, but I'm sure they wouldn't do that.

No! The PU product is from an obscure mind. It's pretty clear what has happened here, just another inferior knockoff being sold on ebay for a fraction of the price. Poor PU, they can't catch a break.
