best roof wing?

I'm looking to purchase a roof wing but I want the best look and fit. I have heard ATLP makes one but I've been unable to find it. All input and links are appreciated.

All roof wings are ghetto. Just get a nice trunk lip spoiler like the TL-S and be done. Too much crap sticking out of the car starts to make it look rediculous.

www.acuratlparts.com

find his contact #, give him a call, and ask him to send you an invoice via google check out.

It's $215.

Mine's coming tmrw, ordered last week (batch 2, the fixed batch).

The Sarona matches the Type-S decklid the best, and looks pretty simple.

The ATLP is more rounded but protrudes outwards more, making it look sportier. Isn't close to the type-s decklid spoiler as the Sarona is but it's more pronounced.

Don't settle with anything else.

crappy/cheap/ghetto ... in that exact order? You are in the minority with that opinion.... but I guess everyone is entitled to an opinion.

Do you realize 1/3 of the body is plastic?

Can't find it..... I do hope the product is better than their web-site. Ahhh... just read the rest of your post. I'll call him tomorrow.

Why are people so defensive and say others are wrong when some say they don't like roof spoilers? Is it really that hard to believe that people have different taste in styling?

Either way, I went with the Ebay "JDM" one. The Sarona is far too big and obvious, likewise the ATLP and I think the rounded look doesn't fit the sharp creases of the TL. While the "JDM" doesn't fit great, it has the best profile IMHO in that it fits the lines of the car and doesn't stand out. It's got a understated look to it and I happen to like it best.

Kris, I went with the JDM spoiler too. But that was before I knew about the ATLP and Sorona spoilers. I like mine a lot. I wouldn't mind having one of the others, but hey, I'm good with the JDM.

I don't know.... probably his tone and the use of the word ghetto.

But any way... your car would look hot with type-s rear side markers.

Aha, that true. The ghetto comment wasn't nessessary. Thanks for the compliment dude, didn't expect it since it's just a stock TL . It's really just a DD for me so I'm just going to keep up with the maintenance and keep it in good shape so I have a nice comfortable car to drive around in. The SHO is my toy lol, although I've driven it far less since I got the TL because I like it so much .

I have the Sarona on mine and it looks awesome.. Needs a little reworking to get it too look good, but all in all I'm happy. I've seen the ATLP in person. It's a little too big for my liking. But it's all in what makes YOU happy. Go with what you like
