Thanks for adding this info. Are you who Alex is working on this with? If so, apologies from me for the snafu.
Not me…
Your photo of the item trespassing where your thing mounts has a VIN sticker on the inner fender…
Piqued my interest.
I just ran the VIN through Partsouq and searched for computer.
Turns out that ‘06 and ‘07 mounted the Air Injection Control Driver in that spot.
Oo that's great! I'm still waiting on the guy to get back to me, so the 86mm dimension is super helpful! Do you happen to know what size bolts/screws it used as well?

Updates! Here they are!
My Ms and I went to visit @CW100 over the weekend. I was finally able to test fit the MSS-L to a truck with original style spoiler.
We are making some minor revisions, mostly to suck the spoiler a little closer to the body. @LJE is a madman and managed to graduate with a Master's degree on Friday, made all the revisions on Saturday, printed out new mounting brackets by Saturday night, and took the family out for a camping trip on Sunday. Sir, I envy your productivity!
Pics of the V1 installed on Chris' truck:
The top bend was slightly overdone on the brake; we've since put a process in place to prevent that. I've just placed the order for prototype v2, and it should be ready to go by the end of this week! The updated model is slightly smaller, corrects some dimensions, but overall is pretty much the same as shown here previously.
Alex wants to have his MSS-L installed by jizzmeater, so I'm pushing to get this going!

Looks great! Sure you don't want to keep that angle on the wing? May be overbent but it offers downforce benefits
I may try to keep this angle in place for the race version that will come out later
The one thing we forgot to do was deploy the awning with the hatch open.
Looks great GA!

I just received a package from Alex @LJE and was stoked to get it open. Revised mounting brackets for the MSS-L!
Here's a side by side showing the difference between the original and v2 brackets. The v2 is smaller, allowing the spoiler to sit closer to the hatch. There was also a slight aesthetic revision done to the MSS-L, part of which shortens the length of the horizontal plane above the hatch.
With this in mind, the following pictures show the v1 MSS-L on the v2 brackets, so it's only a general representation. However, this does show the spoiler being tighter to the body. Bare in mind that this v1 prototype was slightly over bent, so angles are a little skewed.
While keeping good visibly of the 3rd brake light.
But compare to the v1 brackets.
V2 MSS-L is supposed to be ready for pick up on Friday. I'll update here as soon as it's in my hot little hands!

MSS-L v2 is in hand and looking great!
Going to test fit on Chris' truck this weekend and if good, we're ready to roll.
This version is slightly tighter to the body and softened some of the sharper corners on the wings. @LJE did a killer job on the revisions. It also helps when the parts are bent on the brake to the correct angles

Did the test fit on Chris' truck Sunday. A minor adjustment to make still, so we had that done and I just picked up the revisions yesterday. I think we're in shape here!
Pic against an original style spoiler for comparison. It was the side to side dimension we adjusted some.
For guys going to GSMTR this year, you should be able to check it out

The first MSS-L spoiler is done and will be headed to CRockies! Be sure to harass @LJE And @CW100 as they'll have them in hand. Just waiting to pick up the special version for Alex and they'll both be on their way to Tennessee 
Coming soon to a The Artisan Garage near you.

Hopefully Alex @LJE doesn't mind me using his pictures, but since he's the ONLY guy running a production version of the MSS-L right now, here they are!
Note, he got a special center section with his own brand on it, but retail versions will have The Artisan Garage. Custom options may be available, let's talk about it if you're interested.
These are designed for the Baja Designs S2 lights, but there's a generic version available that will fit right in with an extra mounting accessory that Alex has already designed. He's out living the dream in CO right now, and I'm definitely not a little bitter or jealous about having missed this trip. Not at all. But once he's home and we've completed one final small revision, I'll be entering production on these for the site!
