Default Spoiler or without spoiler??

Ok this sounds really really stupid, but I don't know whether my camaro has a spoiler or not. I'm trying to order a rear trunk lift strut and apparently from what i heard there's a difference between the strut of the ones with spoilers and the ones without. I can't tell if my car has a spoiler or not, it's got this little "duck lip" thing as what some people may call it, but I really don't know. How can I tell? Plus, is it really a big difference between the parts on the trunk lid??

That is what it looks like, thanks guys

Well you have a spoiler but whether it's factory or aftermarket is the question. Not sure why there would be a difference in struts, maybe take one to a parts house or Chevy dealer to find out what you have. Are there two different part numbers for struts?

Whether I'm on eBay or on Carid, everywhere all says it's either a fit for with spoiler or without or with spoiler and wiper. I really don't understand if there's gonna be a difference. I hope someone can help. Also, I don't have the car here with me, the car is at a different place and i'm asking here for a friend who doesn't speak english . Any ideas if they are the same?

It appears they are the same fitment but some are stronger for more weight. Some hatches have a spoiler and a wiper and require stronger struts. Here's some reading for you.... https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/body...ch-struts.html
