3rd gen roof spoiler?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Free-Shippin...#ht_6783wt_989

stupid question, but has anyone put on one of these on their 2nd gen. i know its a shorter, but i dont think it would look too bad since my car is NBP.

I was gonna get a friends FG2 spoiler off ebay, imo he has the best roof spoiler, perfect, not to high or low. Although his has the sharp corner i was gonna dremel the sides to have a curve and then go get it repainted.

Been had that trunk lip son , guess you didnt see it when i was installing the coils at justins.

i used a M3 lip spoiler and sanded it down til it fit. i got it pretty close but if i spent more time, it would've been better.

Looks nice but imo its too small to be a roof spoiler, trunk is perfect but the roof spoiler needs to be bigger.

Yea they are expensive thats why i was gonna buy a regular sharp corner one and just sand/dremel it to a curve.

Im coming to the meet with a few new mods

New steering wheel and what else? Ahah

Ill just say mines now.

Mid muff delete, way louder and meaner, just drone is a bit annoying, i noticed that it lags just a tad bit when shifting in auto.

Hopefully i can mount the tsx wheels this week and go even lower. I need to stiffen up the coils too.

^That is a new item. I remember the guy made a teaser thread about that spoiler a few months ago. I guess he finally got it made.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

So did this ever get resolved?
Can we fit the 3rd Gen Roof Spoilers on our cars?

Didn't read the entire thread, but when i ordered my Sarona roof spoiler they sent me the 3rd Gen instead of 2nd, the fitment was WAY off. The 3g is very square at the top of the rear windshield where as the 2nd gen is rounded. Just thought I would throw that out there. Cheers.

Yea but that price is a bit hard to swallow especially when the 3rdGen ones are $30
I was hoping I would be able to sand it down and use my heat gun to kind of mold it in properly.
And Im going to wrap it in 3M-1080 Carbon Fiber anyway so paint isnt an issue.
