roof spoilers..which one??
Which one of the roof spoilers is the best fit and look for our TL’s? I’ve searched through threads and noticed some were using the JDM spoiler and others used the M5 spoiler. For those of you who have either or, how is the fit, finish and look?

I had that one on my TL, until it flew off lol. Make sure to get some good adhesive to put on along with what it comes with.

subbuzz - When you say that the ends stick up, do you mean that their not coming into contact with the glass? If so, how much does it stick up?

07 tl-s in
^^^in the 3rd pic look all the way left, not much but it pisses me off.(really can't complain for like $50). I'm gonna try to get it better,I think some heat and a stronger adhesive will get it 99%.

I just got my roof spoiler, which was a JDM spoiler. Please see my post https://acurazine.com/forums/ramblings-12/wasps-176033/. The link you show here looks like it's for a lip spoiler on the trunk. I'm not sure how that will adapt for your roof spoiler though. Please check out my link I just posted yesterday. I got my roof spoiler, had it painted and it looks great. I actually used 2 layers of 3M double sided tape. We used 2 layers so that the spoiler would better contour to the back window. The spoiler doesn't lay exactly to the window, so we did the double layer of tape to insure in adhered to the window and contoured better.

I have the 45" lip spoiler from a 92 civic.. I ordered this exact one:

As far as sticking it, don't rely on just the double sided adhesive strips it come with. Mine came off twice. I secured it with the following:

This is the stuff they use to secure windshields. and let me tell you, it is INCREDIBLY STRONG!!!

looking good but its crazy that some of you posted Ebay listings here and those spoilers look like trunk lids...so is it that you can use those as roof spoiler? if so can that be customized to fit 2nd gen TL

Random noob question. Is that lumpy thing on the roof the antenna?
I've seen them on several TLs... seen some o5 or o6 [maybe o4 as well] with them too but my TL doesn't have one--not that I want one though. Just curious.

It would probably turn out looking more professional (flush) with just the windshield adhesive. Thanks guys.
1 tube is more then enough man. I just put a gob of it every 3-4 inches. right in between the 2 3m strips. This shit is strong as hell!
