It almost look like a 3g tl-s replica, but yeah would have been best to actually have the product on the actual car that it is targeting.

Reminds me of the CSL except less steroids. I think I'll stick to the OEM design until I see pics of it on a TL.

I've got the roof spoiler from these guys (as do may others.) If this spoiler is the same quality, it should last.

All you guys that are talking about their quality is great and so on, how long have you had your spoilers on the car?

I had my rear roof spoiler for coming up on 3 years now and the paint on it went to complete shit. Clear coat is nearly gone. See hairline cracks everywhere. It's still on the car.

TX weather fluctuates from 10 degrees to 115 degrees and I park outside so maybe that played a role.

I still wouldn't say their quality is so good that it will last forever. Mine started to take a shit the 2nd year I had it.

^ Quang's roof spoiler does look like hell. The paint has come off and it looks bad! I installed his type s trunk spoiler so i've seen his roof spoiler up close. OP that spoiler is closer to the base trunk spoiler, nothing like they type s. You can be a guinea pig and perform a comparison to the base and type s with pictures on your car :gheylaugh:

Well I was going to upload pictures of the rear roof spoiler but I just realized that imageshack is now charging people to use their service. Apparently my 30 day trial ended and now If I want to continue I must pay $2/month or $20/year to upload pictures.

Anyone know any other free websites?

Fitment is spot on though. No gap on either edges.

I think they're water spot marks from rain. I really dont even bother trying to clean it or make it look good anymore because it's pointless.

You can see on the edges of the wing spoiler it's still some what glossy and black. You look at the surface of the spoiler and it's completely shot.

Or is it something else.

BMWOEMSHOP is usually good. I wouldn't say there quality is low considering the price you're paying and just because the paint job may be bad.

thespoilerstore, though, is the best eBay spoiler destination.

Top notch CS, and quality paint jobs for nearly the same price.

If the paint job wears out, they'll send you a new one-- you pay S&H. Happened to several members here and have first hand experience of their CS as they contacted me a year later just to see how my spoiler was doing before I ended up buying a Type-S OEM spoiler.
