yes, that is the same trunk lip. should be around $200-ish... give and take. Comes pre-painted too.

the original mounting has one stud right in the middle followed with double sided tape all along the rest of the wing. Youre supposed to drill the trunk and bolt it. I did the same as JoeyM3 and just chopped off the plastic stud.... I used the existing double-sided tape and it holds just fine.

sits fine, the screw is just for stability, but the double sided tape will hold it just fine, just make sure you clean the surface properly before mounting

Do you have any pics of your car? I've wanted to see what a painted lip looks like with the SSS wing. I'm not really a fan of the carbon fiber lip.
