I can't front, nbp reign supreme yet again. I would get nbp again but it's not great to clean every other day and swirls are horrendous.

Nice Sevas but look at those rubber bands. Roof spoiler is hot too.2

Yes unfortunately the roof spoiler didn't meet the windsheild completely flat on the right side, but with a little put of pressure when I actually mounted it on with double sided tape, it stuck well. But it was cheap shipping and all included I payed something like $83 and had a local bodyshop match the paint, the swirls are a pain in the ass but when u look at your car looking hott like that, you take your time on it lol

Can you post a pic of where the end of the spoiler meets the pillar on the side. I have a 45" lip spoiler and i have tiny upside down "V" shaped gap. Its barely noticeable, but it doesn't sit flush against that rear pillar.

I want to see if the JDM is flush or it too has that gap. From the pics above it looks like there is a tiny gam.

Yea I don't think jdm did the right job either, there's a tiny gap on both side not as much on the left side cuz I aligned it with the roof and it came out but the ride side has a tiny gap, its not perfect but it'll do the job

yea, kinda looks like a 225 in the front.. and since the staggered sevas are 10" in the back, thats probably a 245.... wider is better, but a 255 would most likely rub.. a 245 might not

that why I just stick with 235/35 all around, plus I have staggered fitment on my x5, always better from the factory.

any probs installing?no disrespect, but is that a perfect fit as it looks a bit of on the one end. when I test fitted mine it seems to be a tad bit off like it wouldn't line up EXACT. (i'm anal about things like this)

the car is filthy, and the angle I took the picture from. When the car is clean it looks real different.

looks like a bird bombed you right in the center of the spoiler, I think the spoiler could have been half an inch longer but still looks good

Yea, I agree I wish the spoiler was just a tad bit longer..... if I had noticed so many tl's with s55 I prolly would have dished out the rest of $$ and gone with asantis with a similr style but im hapy with em anyways since im the only 08 type s on rims period in miami lol yea I am a little crazy im running 225/30 in the front but in the back im running 255 so it looks huge...not really any problems rubbing only on some turns when the back seat is packed....but last weekend leaving a club I ended up with about 8 or 9 ppl in the car nd I don't remember too much rubbing....nd she still hauled ass ...I ended up naming her tequila cuz she got a black girls ass nd she's my baby lol .......anybody else name their cars?
