here a couple roof spoiler options i came across.......
first one is this rear visor my boy had on his 98 civic..he sold it but kept all the parts including this roof spoiler..so when he came over the other day i notied he had it in the back seat of his new car..so of course out of curiosity i put the damn thing on my tl...fit almost perfect..length is the same..edges of the visor fit the edges or the rear glass perfect..almost as if it were made for a tl...only thing is that it sits bout 1/4 inch of the roof line in the middle..barely noticable cause it made out of the same material the window visors are..it kind of blenda in with the glass..no modification needed..heres the ebay link http://cgi.ebay.com/Honda-Civic-96-9...C294%3A50...im
SECOND ONE ...i was searching ebay when i came across a company selling m5 lip spoilers..on there ad it gives the dimension for the spoiler wich i noticed were considerabley larger than the m3 lips people use as roof spoilers..so i ordered one..and its a lot bigger..same material..i think it will look better than the m3 lip for a roof spoiler cuz its alot bigger...i ordered a 42" one and rounded the edges..waiting for the paint to dry..link http://cgi.ebay.com/M5-Style-Trunk-4...3286.m20.l1116

Looks promising, I'll be waiting for the pics of your car with roof spoiler on it!

luvsmyTL

Ummm.. not to be a party pooper or anything but, WHY do we like roof spoilers? I mean it looks alright I guess .. . but is there any other benefit other than aesthetics?

iTrader: (2)

that's kinda like saying why do we like lip kits??


I like both..Maybe the if the civic one didn't have the curb going down it would look better...

jp75

iTrader: (1)

again..sorry for the crappy pics...this was 37 bucks shipped..i got the 42" one..same one in my link cuz i wanted to keep there factory edge..you just have to round the corners so iy fits in the corners of our glass..hope this helps a couple peeps

jp75

iTrader: (1)

this one will work too http://cgi.ebay.com/CIVIC-96-00-97-9...3A1%7C294%3A50

That looks really good from that angle.

So the 42" one didn't need any custom work other than rounding the corner?

What's the quality like on the rubber?

jp75

iTrader: (1)

yup..all you have to do is round the corner of the spoiler so it fits in the corner of the glass..thats it...seriously took me 2 min to do...put the spoiler on the back window..traced were i wanted to cut it on the spoiler with a marker..cut it with a dremel then wet sanded smooth with 320..done..its polyurethane material...same as the m3 lips...very easy to cut

Can we see picture of whole back of car with roof spoiler (back & side view)

winhansse

or abit far from the car with spoiler.

hANDYcaptd

iTrader: (5)

^^ and ^

I wonder how much it'd be to get it painted. Or leave it, since I have NBP...

twistedwedge

hmmmm...Im with these guys^^^ need a couple more pics from further away. I do like it better than the m3..

totaledTL

They look tacky to me, like they are grafted on, but to each his own.

twistedwedge

I can kinda see where youre coming from there...I wonder if there is any way to mold it better to the window surround so it follows the curvature? (gradually round out the edges?)

jp75

iTrader: (1)

the only way to do that would be to order a larger one on cut it the full shape of the surround..this 42" spoiler ended coming up short were the window gets wider..i almost went with a longer one..but i didnt want to lose the factory edge..if i went with a larger i would have probally ended up hacking the whole ends off..idk..but i see what guys are saying..i didnt take into account that the farther down from the roofline..the glass gets wider

hANDYcaptd

iTrader: (5)

^ That might be something worth trying. I might try it. So all the m5 style spoilers are the same shape right? Just varying lengths for different cars? I see 45,48,49,51, and 52 inches. 45" should be plenty right?

jp75

iTrader: (1)

^^^^^^correct..45" should work perfect for that..thats what i was going to go with..just make sure you get the m5 lip from the same seller i got it from...some other companies advertise they are selling these m5 lips..but they are really only the same m3 lips we all get
