Carbon Fiber roof spoiler on Anthracite
OK guys, I did it finally. Initially I thought of getting a plain one and painting it. Good thing I didn't. My bodyshop said painting it with flex additives would end up costing more than I paid for it.
I saw a carbon fiber type on Ebay and thought Hmmm. That should go great on Anthracite....and then I see someone who actually tried it. I give credit to sT04Louis for pioneering this and making me go ahead with it. I realize not everyone is going to like this, but some of us do. I definitely need that A-Spec kit, tint and drop now!!

it's me, Alan Rickman.
Does it provide functionality or is it purely cosmetic? Are there problems w/ having the roof spoiler and the decklid spoiler? I know VW says not to install a deck spoiler if you have the automatic spoiler that pops out of the roof because it creates lift w/ two spoilers

As for downforce, regardless what people tell you, these tiny things do nothing aerodynamically. Totally aesthetic.

I was going to paint the roof spoiler anthracite, just summed up to be an expensive proposition. Or to have a CF lip spoiler on the trunk to match the roof spoiler just wouldn't look right IMO. I have an OEM replica on the trunklid. It is perfectly made for the TL with all the original contours and looks 99% like OEM. The one on the roof is a generic "M5" lip. So it is of a different design/contour/profile. It would look like crap on the decklid, totally knockoff.
I do agree a wing with a lip is better than 2 lips. I would have gotten a wing initially, my taste is kinda ol skool. Most of my previous cars had wing spoilers. On many other cars it just goes. IMO the lip just belongs on the TL, a wing is just too "90s" for this new generation-looking car.
With 2 spoilers, the more I look at it, the more confused I get. At some angles it looks really good. At other angles it looks hmmmph. We'll see as my other mods come along. Maybe it will grow on me, maybe I'll get disgusted by it. Ahhh the quest to be different!
