I know I know....

I'm gona get some flack and...

and
and
and
and
and maybe even some


over this. But I really, honestly think it would look good and not necessarily ricey.

I think i found something that would fit just right. Not sure cause I haven't received it yet. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it will fit and curve right. I'll post pics as soon as I get it on there. Actually, after I get it on there and wash the car. I haven't had pics of my ride for a long time anyway. Wish me luck.... Please post comments on if you think it will be ricey or if you think there is a good possibility it will look good. Famous words of the guy in Fanstastic 4 "Flame on!"

if it looks nice I am getting one.

i don't see the pic.

I don't think he posted a pic. It probably would have made more sense to create the thread after installing the spoiler.

I don't know what your car will look like with the rear window "visor". I believe that is what you mean by rear window spoiler. I know that I have seen one on a 2nd gen tl and it looked nice. It looked really sporty. It is all about taste, all about choices. If it is in your taste, it is your choice. I personally like them, and don't care if someone else likes it. I do what I like to do with my car. It is things like that that set your car apart from the rest. Mod on!!

imrantl

did u decide on weather or not you were going to get the underbody neons? i think that combined with the window spoiler would look like garbage

06_TL

ah ok, thank you.

leedogg

It could look bad and it could look nice. What can we say?

big mike 13

saw this around my way and i think it looks good... nice and subtle

ayethetiense

underbody neons??? i can understand the sarcasm, but i think you coulda done better then that... cmon

you know that i'll install it as soon as i get it. and yes it woulda made more sense to post it after, just trying to see people's thoughts on the situation. just ordered it yesterday and got a bit excited

could you make this a little more blurry?

I think it would look good. If it was humongous, then no. But if it was modest and done right, it could look great. Post pics when it is on, or test fitted. The 2nd gen one looks pretty good, this one might as well!

mmcv6

where did you buy it from? is it a exact fit or?

Ka0tik

it could look good and it could look bad

AcuraGreek

Im intrested in it myslef...but wanna see what it will look like first

HEK

I've had them on some of my cars through out the years but they were all coupes, not 4 doors but who knows untill I see one on a TL.....
Here is a picture of the 2K Si I used to own....some guys from a SI club gave me s..h..i..t for having one but I had more people inquire because they wanted one, so to each their own...

JPTL-S

Hopefully the spoiler you purchased was a bit more subtle than the one above. I was thinking a bit more on the lines of this:

ayethetiense

thats a little...ok, actually a lot bigger then what I am talking about. that is way too big. sorry to tell you this this, but i'd be laughing at you too like your SI buddies.


its a lot closer to this size and the one i got would actually work better on this car.... I think

06_TL

i agree. that is just

I saw that car in San Bruno, CA last year!

Here is a pix of a rear window spoiler that was available for a Passat and I think this style would be great on a TL ..

BustedJack

hmm I woudn't get it.

Rpappi

huge fan of this. if i find one for the TL that looks like that ill be all over it

ayethetiense

Ok guys, got it today and washed the car and put that baby on...

I like it, tell me what you guys think, please be brutally honest. Heres a couple pics...















First off, sorry I didnt get better pics. Kinda got lazy. Now i know that this is not a normal roof spoiler. I wanted it to be pretty small so that it does not look 'ricey'. After all, this is a TL. Besides, if it was any bigger it would start to cover up the high rear brake light. Anyway, it is a 45 inch universal spoiler made out of a very sturdy and pliable rubber. It can be painted to match the color of the car but I wanted to keep it black and save a shitload of money. It sticks on via 3M and its really strong too. Guess how much it costs????


25 bucks shipped....

FLAME SUIT IS READY!!!!!!!!

LacViet

Doesn't look too bad at all, but I think you should paint to match your car's color. I imagine it would looks much better with match paint. The price is super cheap!

HEK

I kind of like it, can you take a picture away from the car to view the side of the vehicle rather than the actual "spoiler"...can you post the link?...thanks..one word amigo you are original and don't let anyone tell you different...

csmeance

or if not the color of the car, then the color of the two rubber channels that run on the roof

cM3go

I'm just wondering what the point is

Not too bad for $25. Do you have any pics of it further away? Also did you need to cut it?

ayethetiense

I do not currently have pictures that are further away. It is pretty small and kind of hard to see in a picture and i didnt have enough time. I'll get to some more pics in a day or two. It is very minimal, but I digg it! and no i didnt need to cut it. It is exactly 45 inches.

Why is there a roof spoiler in the first place? Who cares, it doesnt really matter.... but the real question is, why not? Supposedly, it should give downforce right? Hence the term, roof spoiler. But there would not be enough speed in the first place to give adequate downforce on a regular roof spoiler. The shape of this one even has more potential then a regular roof spoiler. Just the same, it is just for looks anyway. How else can you change the roofline?

it is the same color of the two rubber liners on the sides of the roofline. its pretty much the same type material.

Where did you order it from?

Needs to be body color and the camera needs to be shot away from the car more so we can see if it goes along with the TL character.

ayethetiense

i got it on ebay. pretty quick shipping. just look for a 45inch spoiler made of rubber. make sure it is pliable so that you can slightly bend it to the curve of the top of the window.

might look good with it being the body color but i have this kind of black and white theme. front grill is black, rims are dark colored and some of the other accessories as well. i wanted to paint my splash guards white to match the body but didnt have anytime to go look around for quotes. (ie. got lazy)

heres a pic of my front

Do you think 45.5 will fit? I found a few that size, but nothing at 45 exactly yet. Also, it says injection molded ABS material, is that what you have?

ayethetiense

PM sent with info

for everyone else as well, tell me if you opted to do this or if you are upset that i did this to a TL. =) Thanks!

ayethetiense

thanks man. much appreciated.

i'll snap a pic of it tomorrow when there is better light. i'll be sure to be further away and get better angles.
