Roof Spoiler

I saw a CL with a roof spoiler and it looked pretty good. I was just curious as to where I might be able to pick one up? And I did a search but only found out of a group buy a few months ago. I noticed that they're priced fairly high for sucha small spoiler ......Just wondering if the prices have came down a little since then and where I could pick one up at...

You spent all that money on a 260HP car (you like performance), and now you want to put something on it to slow it down? What am I missing??

one person around here has it.


nobody else has bought it because it's like $300 for a little strip of fiberglass.


you would think the company that makes it would wise up and price it right so they could sell a few.

He only has it cause he said he let the guy use his car to make it so he got it for free. Way too much money for that little thing. YOu could buy a Intake, some springs or some sways for that much.

i think i've seen a couple of those on bmw's an M3 and a 745i and they look phat. they won't affect your performance that much. i like those bodykits for the legend. that red one looks tight.

I like it, Why dont you email the company and ask if you can get a discount price if u do something for them. Most companys on the net will work with you on prices.

in your signature it says that you changed your wheels to "Fox 5 wheels"

So you downgraded the wheels on your car to a less stronger wheel than stock? it may or may not be lighter than the factory wheel but it sure as hell isn't as strong as the factory wheel. What am i missing?


JUST MESSING WIT YA!


Actually the performance loss from the roof wing is negligble, you'ld only notice the loss in performance if you were doing high speed racing, and drag 1/4 mile testing. normaly day to day driving and freeway driving is unaffected IMO.

But if I do pick one up I'll probably get a m5 spoiler too....I think that'd look pretty clean together...Dont know if anyone here has that combination though?? Would love to see if anyone does, but i highly doubt it seeing that only a select few have the roof spoiler....

dude, if you like the roof wing, and you have the money buy it, it's your car, who cares what other people think.

i like the roof wing, but i'm not spending money on it (right now) because i wanna save up for a lot of other stuff, but if i had the extra money i'd invest in the roof wing, headers, and all that jazz.

go for it, buy it before everyone else jumps on the bandwagon and decides the wing looks good and starts biting off of it j/k

fiberglass or urethane... doesn't do anything except look pretty.

I've seen niz181's car in person and the roof wing looks HOT!!! but while the $300 price tag is a tad outrageous, I always get second thoughts when I see it in person.
