i got mine from the following eBay store...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PAINT...Q5fAccessories

there are a bunch of roof spoilers to choose from, and i felt that this one was the cleanest design out there.

here are some pics of it installed...hope this helps!

eBay ... version 2? roof spoiler with small overhang, refer to Mr. Forum Member: Sandals

They all fit well, minus the "JDM" style where it has roughly a 1/5-1/4" gap on each side.
Depending on eBay vendor, the spoiler may also fall 'short' at roughly 1/6-1/5" gap each side.

ATLP V1 had a small defect where half the spoiler was not flush.
Duraflex[I think?] is same as ATLP V1

eBay "JDM" Style: [borrowed Steven's pic]


eBay "new" Style: [borrowed Sandal's pic]



and as stated eBay/Duraflex = ATLP V1 so no refer to first pic.
I didn't post all of the user's pictures... You should ask them or find their threads for more photos.

Hopefully that helps you make a decision, whichever it is I'm sure it'll work nicely.
Also hope that helps anyone else... rather than going to various threads finding the threads.

I'm a fan of the M3 Style roof spoiler available on eBay. Make sure to post pics in this thread once you install.

IMO.. get a lip kit. lower it. then get a roof spoiler.

Been thinking about getting one for my NBP but not sure if it will be too much since I already have a rear decklid lip, opinions? The "m3 style" is my favorite so far.

Bahahah... I was making sure I got all [or most] of the angles of the spoiler. My phone takes massive 3000x4000 photos so I figured recording would be easier.
It was originally going to be 1.5 minutes... but I said what the heck and edited both videos together.

Xquiisiit, first, welcome to Acurazine. Second, the guys have given you some great examples and links. Third, I'm going ahead and closing this thread, based upon all the links the guys have provided. Also, be sure to also try our Acurazine Search Engine. Plug in "roof spoilers" and you'll find all the reading you'll need to make the best decision for you and your car.

Cheers!
