I cant wait to see what Streeteffects whips up next. If you guys want (Im sure you know of this already), check out
http://www.sarona.com/. They offer a roof spoiler for the TL. Its not too big; I think it does just enough for the car.

Do you plan on selling these wings? I doubt it will be worth your time if they are going to be at a lower price then the one currently for like $320. I have not seen a roof wing on a TL yet, and I have always liked the way they look on the BMW and Benz. I may have to drop the $320 on it!! unless someone has something cheaper that looks good, It must be a perfect fit though . And are they easy to steal?? because then I could just steal it off one of you guys!!!! just kidding but I know it must be glued very secure...

sarona adheres the roof spoiler with
SILICONE! i spoke to them, and they are selling alot of them according to them. i suppose it could be easily jacked? the body kit they make for the tl is sweet, but fiberglass! i haven't seen one good fiberglass kit install, except at HIN or a major show where the kit and paint are perfect for $5-$7K!

Questions:
Why would you want a rear roof spoiler?
Why would you want to redirect the air flow off of your trunk?
The contour of your car is meant to have a FORCE placed apon your trunk inorder to keep your steering in check. Without the FORCE you would experience a lack of control at the fronts making turns more complicated.
Which brings me to another point.
Choosing a wing that is not to low or to high off the rear is the only way to maintain the flow of air over your car.
Where most wings are for decoration only.
A wing that is atleast 3-4 inches off the rear (with a proper lip) will cause the air to go under and not over the wing. Creating proper down FORCE over the rear.

What I am saying. Is at even 60-75mph you will more then likely experience a fishtail effect. It may not be extreme but, chances are you will notice the lack of feeling in the ass of the car. And God forbid that you are in a high wind area, ie.Oklahoma.
So why spend money on something that does not enhance you ride.
Look in dic under (modify).

Hey asiankidd? Get a life.
U dumb sun ov a bat.
If you want to spend your money and look like a a$$hole on your own.
Fine!
But a bad idea is a bad idea. And If you don't understand the concept of a forum. Then U r as dumb as they come
And for your infomation (u sun of a bat). Wind and ran does effect your cars handling and to have no down force on your trunk does make a diff.
