New roof spolier

This is for all you guys looking for a roof spoiler...the CL now has another option

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Acura-CL-2dr-2001-2002-2003-01-02-03-coupe-roof-wing-spoiler-window-glass-NEW-/360401478363?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AAcura%7CModel%3ACL&hash=item53e99a22db&vxp=mtr
I know the Cl doesn't have many choices for a roof spoiler especially ones that look good.. so when i came across this i just had to share it with the community...Don't say i never contributed

Opinions welcome!!

I kind of like the way it has some angling to it compared to the sanoma one. Wether it looks good on the car is another thing

What you guys think?

It's actually not bad, I did a test fit on my 1G and think it will look pretty good. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic

Nice Pic!....Doesn't look that bad i like the angles of the spoiler that its not just smooth. Gives it some character i might pull the trigger on this considering the price point is rather reasonable.

Not, yet, as you can see, I'm holding it in place with my hairy monkey arm. if you look toward the passenger side it's actually sagging, this was just a test fit. I haven't shaped it and mounted it yet

I can't wait to see if this works, especially for the price.

I just received mine in the mail. First impressions well, not exactly what I expected the spoiler seems like its pure rubber, very flimsy. I guess they made it that way to give better fitment.

My Ron Jon lip kit is very soft and flexible also. I bet it is like the same thing. I bet the rj lip kit flexes and vibrates when driving from the wind.

Post some pics once you install it.

Will do. I'm almost sure that, that lip is not as flexible as this roof spoiler, I mean its almost like a big piece of weather strip. If you hold the spoiler from the middle the two ends will almost touch.

You would be surprised. If I hold my front or rear lip from the middle it folds in half like a piece of paper. It will need a lot of brackets to hold it in place. More brackets equals more weight.

Tell me about it. I'm not really diggin the texture of this spoiler, also if you read the description it says that it must be painted with "flexible" paint. II'm hoping that after painting it will harden up some.
