I want to add a rear window spoiler to my 06 TL.

I have no idea how this would look but i think it would be a nice look to the TL.

Has anyone tried this mod or know if there is even a seller out there that sells this.

I would appreciate it if someone can give me a picture of a TL that has this or a vendor that sells this. I looked on ebay and a few other sites but got no luck yet.

Thanks,

 

Yea I actually bought one and it looks great..I got alot of good feedback on it..its carbon fiber and has an adhesive strip on its back...i got it from ebay..ask stillhere153, He knoes the exact product

 

thanks for the headsup. Actually PM'd stillhere and he gave me the link.

cant wait to get it.

 

oh good you ordered it, just know it is one of those things that just adds to the car but is barely noticeable

 

Hell yea lol it looks sick though

 

does anyone have a pic of a car with it

 

gosh all you guys are pm'ing me for the link now, I had no idea so many people were interested, rockyfellernyc or something like that is his name he linked me to it so I will in no way take credit for it

found one with an LED on it, SWEEEEEEEEEEET
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/92-95...QQcmdZViewItem



just know if you guys search it is the one that is 45" long... I am going to the bmw dealer in a few days to measure the 335i and see how long it is and buy one of the bmw roof spoilers...

 

also visible here

 

this is a decklid spoiler, not a rear window spoiler, or can they be used both ways?

 

It can be used both ways assuming it's 45 inches! Yo Still let me know what you find out from the bmw dealer.. I'm just not feeling the CF look so maybe if they have one in black I might go with that look instead

 

Yep..like evader said..can be used both ways.
BTW..the LED one would look horrible on a 3G haha, thatd be one LED bar on the bottom and one on the top

Al...clean your car....SHIT

 

is it possible to have it sanded n painted nbp??!!!

 

Those are rain drops I assume? Much cleaner than my NBP .. LOL ... that's one of my cleaning project for the upcoming holidays ...

 

I'm thinking of getting one of these...

 

sigh

They sell them solid black as well, will let youguys know bout the bmw one.. Just think an ac schnitzer roof spoiler on a tl lol

 

was talking to a fellow aziner on aim... he found out that the 5 series 96-03 is 45 inches accross 4" wide and will fit on the rear of the TL





COURTESY AND MUCH PROPS GIVEN TO ILLSTRATEGY

i was talkin to still here 153
thats the link.... i think it will work..

 

50 bucks...not bad

I think it would be a little too much, but I'd have to see it to make a real judgement

 

Still, could we get more pics of your car. full side profiles and the rear from an angle? Hard to see the profile of the car with the roof spoiler...

 

KenUA6 and St04Louis were the first on the scene to figure out the 45" lip spoiler fits well there, they have lots of pics out there if you search.

Lee,
I have the CF one on my WDP if you wanna come to Tysons and take a look at it.

Jeff has the same one, put had it color matched to DGP during the repair after his wheels got jacked.

 

^ what kennedy said... fully true I just emulated

in any event I will take some measurements to see if the 5 series spoiler doesnt obstruct the upper brake light

 

"rockyfellernyc or something" lol! As said I am not credited with doing the roof spoiler first. I was perhaps the first one to buy the carbon fiber one, thats all.

Yeah I have a thread with mutiple pics, please search the threads. I wasn't prepared to really like it, I took a chance. Now? I really love the way it looks and I'm glad I did it!! I find that the best color to do the carbon fiber color is anthracite. It just blends in PERFECTLY and dosen't look out of place at all.

As for cross-referencing the 5-Series roof spoiler, I'd be cautious there. I know for a fact that there are a number of options out there for specifically designed roof spoilers for the 5-series. They may be the correct width of 45" but are they flexible? The rear glass is curved on the TL and a fiberglass or polyurethane inflexible spoiler won't work. You need something flexible like the Ebay spoiler we have so you can conform it to the curve of the upper part of the window.

I looked at the LED spoiler too but as said it would look crazy stupid on the car with 2 rows of brake LEDs!

 

uh not really.

 

NICE and SEXY ! Love the look !

 

I found this one on eBay for the 04-07 TL:

Yeah it is the same thing just the pic is a different angle... And he is selling it for twice as much

 

It looks like it is a bit wider then the ones previous members have bought with other lip spoilers. I was going to actually get that. How do we find out if it is indeed the same one? Because I dont want to pay 2x as much.

 

I say don't risk it and experiment with the 5 series one instead, I am going to look for one made of flexible type material

 

what do you use for the adhesive if it doesn't have a strip/glue? basically what would keep it secured best?

 

Wash the surfaces properly, finish off with some isopropyl alcohol and make sure it is completely clean. 3M heavy duty outdoor grade double-sided tape at a temperature above 60 degrees will do it. I use a hair dryer a little to help me out. Keep it out of the cold as much as possible and don't get the area wet for a couple days and you're good to go.

 

i got so excited when i opened this post and i grabbed my wallet yanked out my credit card and got ready to buy what ive been lookin for for months but ofcourse the sale had to be over....does neone on here know where i can get the carbon fiber spoiler like the one in the picture stillhere 153 posteed?

 

ebay. just search for a cf spoiler that is bendable and 45 inches. should be pretty cheap

 

How's the CF look on the WDP? Do you have a pic?

 

any pics of what you are thinking of?

 

so i ordered my spoiler last nite!! i cant wait til it comes in! does anyone know how long it takes to ship to woodland hills ca from the seller on ebay??

 

The seller is overseas... When I ordered mine I got it within the same week...

 

thanks

any precautions for the abs plasitc one that is not that flexable?when I test fitted mine, it's gapped. You can see it raised,just force it down during install?heat it up first? the fit is about dead on,maybe 1/2 inch off but if it was flush against back window I think that space would be eliminated.....
