Don't be an ass. Cosmetic mods are just that but you need to decide if the ski jump spoiler on your roof (that may dump dirt and grime on your back window) will bring you more cosmetic bang-for-the-buck than a flatter spoiler that may actually improve airflow over your back window and has a similar luck.

I'll stop being an ass when you stop being a douche with a superiority complex. Do you honestly think that having a piece of a roof spoiler flare out a bit vs a regular roof spoiler makes enough of a downforce/air flow difference to matter which one you get? Please, show me proofs included wind tunnel tests and such. I can see if you argue roof spoiler vs no roof spoiler, but flat roof spoiler vs roof spoiler with a little flare? I don't see the point.
I don't get your hostility. Is it that you feel threatened by someone who actually knows what they are talking about? You and killer are the ones who keep picking a fight - in this case I merely mentioned that the spoiler shown may make your window dirty.
Both spoilers will give you a very similar look, but one will keep your rear window dirty - tell me again why you want to install that spoiler.
I'll repeat my usual mod-mantra - be honest with yourself about the reasons for a mod and recognize the consequences. I could obviously care a whit about which spoiler you install (the first, very poorly fitting one may actually keep your window cleaner) but do yourself a favor and admit that the reason is that you like the ski-jump look from up close.
Why don't you and killer keep playing with yourselves in this thread. That way you can feel cool and play class bully. I'm out of this idiotic thread.

He's leaving because he has run out of pseudo intelligent bullshit to spew.
You can only pretend to know what you are talking about for so long. Later ceb.

Aren't all the other roof spoilers shaped more like a quarter pipe than this one? Thats why I actually liked this one, it's the flattest one that I have seen thus far!
#55
^^i actually really like both of them. But this one from russia is gonna cost you 3 times as much especially after getting it painted. Maybe a little less, but still quite more. I think you can get the other one for like 70 or 80 shipped and painted. idk, its hard for me to choose between them...

I just dont like the look of the big ski jump looking thing. I like flatter, sleek looking spoiler. Thats why I chose the lip spoiler.

I agree I'm not a fan of the ski jump look. I will be ordering the Project 10k roof spoiler that is listed on ebay. There is a member here that has one and it looks great.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/360351700126...84.m1423.l2649
However if you all get a group by going and the ones listed in this thread look good on I will probably join in just for the sake of it matching my deck spoiler.

also, i was gonna txt you to ask you to open contact with the russians. the unprimed ruski spoiler is 100 dollars US by conversion, even with import shipping, it may be cheaper than the project 10k spoiler
#66
shipping for an item that large will no doubt by more than $80, though i can possibly contact gosha. i will try to go to brooklyn and talk to the guy, maybe he can cut us a deal for multiple. i'll see what he can do

I'm in on the russian groupbuy if the price is around $150.
I like the price of the ski jump one, but I think in a few pictures on the ebay listing it looks bad. Almost looks like a different spoiler is being used for the different shots.

You guys are confusing me, Th ski jum isnt the russian,
The ski jump curls up
The russian looks like a trunk lip but for the roof
& theres a 3rd, Its the ski jump minus the jump if it makes sense, Kind of even.
The basque red has the even one, not the russian.

see, stak? theres one that looks like an actual ski jump, and theres one that people starting calling ski jump because of ceb, so there is confusion
no more ski jump term
- ebay spoiler (very cheap available paint matched on ebay)
- project10k spoiler (180 primed, basque red tsx)
- ruski spoiler (decklid style, not available stateside)

simliar in that in doesnt FLARE up, but the ends of the russian share similarities with the trunk lip in that the corners have a little shape to them. it isnt an even flat shape. Look closely to the ends.

it sounds like everyone is confused, sigh, pics of all three later when im bored
group buy progress: absolutely none, i got no reply for my engrish so when pyro has time he may try to reach out to them, if you know any russian or want to take the initiative then go for it!
ebay and project 10k and russian one are all very different, im in for a group buy of either the russian one, OR the project 10k one

What you wrote clears it up the three, and is what I was originally thinking. The multiple pictures comment was for the first ebay one. I'm still in for the russian one if is around $150.
edit: if we can groupbuy the project 10k one for around $150, I think I'd be interested in that one too.
