The M3 spoiler is small yes but despite that fact its one of those mods that changes the look of the back end with noticeable effect. 10/10 would recommend.

Even though you said you didn't like any off of ebay, I bought this one last week off of ebay and in my opinion, it's one of the better looking ones out there.

prob 75% of ppl including myself have the bmwoemshop roof spoiler off ebay. bmwoemshop is the sellers name, you get it painted oem color when you order it. Highly recommend it! 3" roof spoiler, damn... You might as well buy an airplane lmfao

Agreed with NBP, bmwoemshop is the way to go IMO. Great roof spoiler.

From bmwoemshop on ebay! I also left a 1/2 cm gap from the roof when installing. Looks great and not too over the top!

I had that bmwoemshop on my car for a good 3 years until the paint started to go to crap. I also had a slight gap like "mvp" did his and hated how leaves found their way in and got stuck all the time lol.

I have a shadow.speed spoiler on my roof now that I just installed Saturday night. It looks like Nate_0022 spoiler. There's no curvature in it compared to the bmwoemshop one.

I'll admit.... I didn't take the best care of the spoiler when it was on my car.

I'm sure it was the combination of that and the fact that I don't have a garage so my car is parked outdoors 100% of the time and here in TX summers can be pretty brutal.

Here's how my bmwoemshop spoiler looked just after 2-3 years. Watch your eyes

Cracks started to form throughout the roof spoiler. Water from the rain created etched in water marks. The whole spoiler lost its gloss and felt like gritty sand paper. It was at the point of no return. I probably could have got away with getting it repainted but I wanted a different style roof spoiler my 2nd time around so I bought a shadow.speed one.

Sockr that ebay link he just posted is the exact same one I just installed on my TL Saturday night. Fitment is just as good as the bmwoemshop one. I had the bmwoemshop one for 3 years on my TL.

I will admit the pictures in the eBay ad does make the fitment look horrible. They did a shitty job installing it. Fitment for mine is on point. No horrible gaps like that eBay listing.

I purchased mine from that exact same seller also.

It's urethane. Bends to the shape of the roof. I had one of the bmwoemshop spoilers on my '08 accord coupe 3 years ago. Same Taiwanese sh**! For under $100 its a nice mod. Go with Nate's ebay link and save yourself $8. It's the same spoiler.

IMO the bmwoemshop one looks better than the other ebay one - All comes down to personal preference.

Thread bump.

My roof spoiler flew off last week so I needed to go on the hunt for a new one. I respect nate's opinion as he's been a member here for a while now and I'm impressed with his lighting projects. I ended up buying the same one he did. 80.00 bucks shipped. Shipping was pretty fast IMHO. Purchased 9-30 and received from Taiwan with tracking on 10-3.

Will post pics once the install is done.
