Rear Window spoiler

Unsure about which spoiler to get Sandora or ATLP. I saw a TL with one on and WOW, gives the car a great look. Like I said not sure which one, I want a slim profile.

If you want a slim profile, the JDM is probably the best....

Just to help you out when you are looking for one to buy, I believe its "Sarona" not Sandora. But as far as streamline, I would say JDM has that look, but you'll get gaps on either end because its slightly shorter than the window. I like the Sarona best, but I'm pretty sure it may need a bit of sanding from the underside to make it sit flush with the roof. I'm sure someone else has insight on that. Anyway, Goodluck!

Holy crap!!! I was looking into these but the gap in the photo has turned me off. If it doesn't give a factory look, it's not worth it.

I've seen a JDM spoiler painted black on a TL with dark tints. The gaps aren't too noticeable.

These threads pop up now and then and it cracks me up how some of you continue to try to make your TL's look like a Honda Fit.

I went with the JDM one since the Sarona and ATLP are just too big and in-your-face for my liking.

The gaps at the end is not too horrible IMHO.

the atlp one is growing on me hardcore though. My "jdm" rooflip





It was supposed to be a 15 minute install but after an hour of "tweaking" I eliminated most of the gap and gave up. It's still there but not really noticable.

Here's my "JDM" one. The gaps are a shame and it doesn't really contour to the back window all that well, but it's got the best profile IMHO.

sarona is def the best looking but fitment and price is somewhat an issue(unless you're jptl). i think atlp is the best compromise between price and fitment
