It looks great IMO. I really love it. Several questions tho:
1) Did they paint it for you?
2) When installing the roof spoiler there is a break light on the top of the rear winshield. So do you install the roof spoiler on the actual winshield and try to avoid covering that light at the top of the windshield? Or does the roof spoiler go more towards the rear hood of the car, leaving the top light on the windshield visible?
3) Could you possible post pics when your break lights are on with a rear shot of you car? I am just trying to understand where exactly to install it (above the break light or slightly on top of it)?
Thanks in advance, you car looks great

Looks like it sticks to the roof only. Does not look like it interferes with the third brake light.
My concerns would be color matching since it's plastic/rubber and durability & logevity?

Sorry guys....I havent been online in a few days. Yes, I will post pics very soon. I am out of town, but will be back Wednesday and will take pics.
To answer some of the questions....the spoiler goes above the rear brakelight....it goes between the brake light at the roof. It attaches entirely to the glass. When I installed it I just heated up the 3M tape that was attached to the back and placed it on the windshield. I did not use the additional adhesive that the company sent with the spoiler (but you could if you chose to). It is attached very well. The spoiler came painted....I just gave the lady who is selling them the paint code. Shipping took about 2 weeks. The spoiler came in great condition and it looks great installed....overall Im definitely glad I got it.
Thanks for the comments btw....I promise to post pics soon!

I did buy it from ebay when I got the car. I think the seller's ebay ID was "happybuyitnow" It was also from Taiwan but when I bought it last year it was $160. The color matched perfectly and is of good quality. After installing it I took it off because I didn't like that it broke the perfect concavity of the roof flowing all the way to the trunk(perfect oval look). I recommend this guy but am not sure if its the same as the link above.

I think it looks good, but maybe better on a base model without the rear spoiler? When looking at the car with the shark tail on the roof and a rear spoiler, adding the roof spoiler may make it look a little too busy especially with the rear of the car being so carved already?

TL-SHAWD 6MT Rocks!
but.. what does it do ? no, just kidding...
Nice addon, I like how it provides shade to the brake light, so it looks even brighter to the guy behind you.
(see? I found a use for it! )
your car looks solid, with all the spoilers and leds !
