I have the Sarona Roof Spoiler and I personally like it alot especially that it has the tapers on the ends that mimic the gutter rails that are on our cars roof like, which kinda makes it look like our cars have a factory installed Roof Spoiler. Just my opinion.

What is the website to get this? 75 bucks is pretty decent considering sarona wants 300...I've been wanting one for a while but can't forsee spending 300 right now, but 75s cool...it looks good too??

another subjective question.....

but for me, atlp v1 < sarona < atlp v2 ......why? because the v2 has the sexiest overhang

atlp v2:





let's keep the comments about the mirrors/wheels to a minimum....

I voted for the Sarona since its look has grown on me over time. ATLP v1 was nice, but I think I outgrew it. ATLP v2 is just plain hideous due to it's bulkiness. The Sarona is unnecessarily expensive, and it should come painted for the price that they are charging for it.

I went with the eBay special myself since I was on a strict budget. It was the most bang for the buck.

I agree with this. 300 for the Sarona...unpainted is overpriced.

Thanks for the pics jptl04, that first pic was what I was really looking for.

100% Agree... Sarona is the best, but you'd have to shave and paint it... and for the price, it should already come that way!

Ebay special FTW!

sorry for starting up this thread again but i really need some help here. when you guys talk about "shaving" down the sarona, what exactly do you mean? i just bought my sarona and it is sooo uneven with the top of the roof. i noticed how everyone elses sits nice and flush with the roof line. where exactly must i be shaving down on the sarona spoiler? do i shave it down from the top or from the bottom where it mounts? logic tells me to shave it from the underside but i dont want to have to guess on such an expensive spoiler. lol. id rather just do it right the first time with some proper guidance from you guys.....please help explain where exactly i must begin shaving, what areas, and also, exactly how much shaving will be necessary. thanks to all you guys in advance for any help you can throw my way.

Looks like NEITHER!
Honestly, the cost is so high and I'm not SOLD on loving any of them yet...that W212 one is really nice, I do admit though. Just perusing a bit.

Yeah, I like that lower profile, I like it angled back more than up, if that makes sense. Initially I was hellbent on trying to mimick the CSL upward shape, but I'm not sure yet. Going with the ebay oembmwspoiler one would be cheapest and easiest way to do it.

I got you
But being angled back might make it less noticable on a black TL
