Default difference between hoop and bridge spoiler?

so is there any difference between these two spoilers besides the price and the name?

must be something, he's selling them both

I cant see much in those pics, maybe the more expensive one is thicker/more stable?

at first i thought that the "bridge" spoiler was more boxy and not as smooth as the "hoop" type, but the more i look at those pics the more i think it must just be the angle that the pic is taken at. i cant understand why he would post 2 ads for the same thing, one half the price of the other, but ive never heard of there being 2 types of 968 spoilers (besides the adjustable one of course)

The bridge spoiler looks up too high, and fugly. It got to be something different. The Hoop one looks like the standard 968 fiberglass replicas.

hoop spoiler is the exact copy of the late 944/968 spoiler and comes in 4 parts.

bridge spoiler is just one piece spoiler designed by ?? (I think it looks ugly.)


I have the original hoop spoiler but am missing the side&under parts. I just mailed the seller, hope he would sell that parts alone..
