A trunk spoiler AND a roof spoiler. IMO, doesn't get much uglier than that. One or the other.

I dont think this particular combo ( that fugly CL wing and the Sarona style wing) sits well.

However, that roof spoiler and an M5 style trunk lip would look buttahs!!!

Hey guys, sorry it has been such a long time since I've gotten back to this topic, but I havn't had a chance to do any major fabrication since making the mold (school, work, etc.). I've been taking a look at a lot of roof spoilers and have been doing some thinking. One question I keep forgetting to ask is: is the sarona roof spoiler a closed shape, like the rear spoiler on most of our cars, or is it simply a flat sheet of fiberglass molded into the shape of a spoiler. Basically what I am asking is, does their roof spoiler have a bottom? The reason I ask is that if it is a closed shape, then I don't think I'd be able to make as many (or ay at all) than if they were just a molded sheet. I really want to make these, because I want one myself, but I want to know what you guys expect in the product. Let me hear some feedback on what you want.

there was one for sale on the black market section... he was selling a blue one which he molded off a M3 lip (real BMW stuff)... but even if something like that is possible, that would do... here is pictures of his roof spoiler... by the way his car is really nicee

But we all appreciate you effort RelentlessOne! Just do it whenever you have the time, there's no rush...

I'm down too....Good luck in getting it done.
In my opinion just replicate the sarona model. Maybe get one from them and some how make molds out of it...
