general design is about the same. the acs sticks up a bit more though and the rds will come more outward in comparison. the rds is also "more full" around the edges at the ends of the spoiler also.

I have the RDS trunk spoiler. Sometimes, I wished I had the ACS because I think the ACS roof spoiler and trunk spoiler look good together.

In comparison to the rear view, The ACS trunk spoiler makes the back of the car looks beefier. From the side view, The RDS makes the car looks more agressive. For the price of one RDS trunk spoiler, you can most likely get the ACS roof and trunk spoiler painted and installed.

I don't know which vendor can sell you an ACS with good fitment, but the RDS fits as good as perfect.

Good luck with your decision.

And don't attach it with "permanent" adhesive because you will eventually get bored.

If you look from the back. The bottom of the spoiler of the ACS makes a straight line and the RDSport curves.
