Duraflex roof spoiler installed!! (lots of pics)

As some of you may have seen, there was a roof spoiler selling on ebay a couple weeks ago for $99 + $75 shipping that looked exactly like ATLP's.

Welllll....after doing some snooping around, I learned that these were the first-batch ATLP spoilers that were slightly off in fitment. The seller was local, so I ended up getting the spoiler for $107 unpainted...add $100 for paint...and the final cost was $207 installed.

The body shop used double-sided tape to install, but I have an unopened bottle of window-weld in my drawer for when/if the tape fails. As for fitment, it fits pretty well...you guys can be the judge...

Oh yeah also...in the pics you can see that the spoiler is a off by a couple mm over the glass on the left side vs. the right. That's a result of poor installation...not the actual spoiler being too short.

Does anyone have any idea when ATLP batch 2 is coming out? My batch 1 roof spoiler looked like this from one side, I had to yank it off of the roof after a month or so

^^^Agree totally....there might not be any warning when it decides to go flying....mine has a double tape/window weld combo.

Thank you everybody for the positive comments. I'm going to redo the installation this weekend properly with some window-weld.

As for the rims...yes they are the ever-so-popular discontinued Nismo Rays wheels that were on clearance about a year ago. Lightweight, forged wheels for under $700, I couldn't say no...

If anybody's got any questions about the spoiler...feel free to pm me.

So what do you guys think...in my garage, do I have the honor of putting "ATLP Roof Spoiler" under my mod list, or "Duraflex?"

Question:

When I apply the window-weld, should I put it only on the sides of the spoiler where it contacts the window, or on the entire length?
