New Roof Spoiler Option

Was cruising through Ebay and came across a roof spoiler I hadn't seen anyone on here use before

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Unpainted-Ro...78729f&vxp=mtr


HAS anyone used this one? It's significantly cheaper than the other options from bmwoemshop, sarona, etc.

Any impressions??

It costs less than the others because it's unpainted. It's easier to just get bmwoemshop to send you a painted one.

It seems like this is a very small roof spoiler. It looks good, but I'm not a fan......just personal taste though.

Looks nice but if I was getting a roof spoiler I'd personally want it to be a bit more noticable

I'm a fan of the roof spoiler look, but it's a theft target depending on where you live.

posted this on another thread but heres a roofspoiler that i bought on ebay from shadowspeed... from what I was told, I was or am the first to have purchased this back in december. He painted mine so that I can install and take pics with it on my car..youll prob see my car in his listing...

My install was rushed as it was freezing and couldnt really take my time with it. You definitely need a heat gun so that you can bend the spoiler to mold it properly.

I've gotten this stolen at a mall once before, and they tried to steal my deck lid at the same time but were unsuccessful.. it resulted in a scratch trunk... I think it was some ricey civic kid that complimented me on my car on my way to the gym one day...havent seen him since...

I'm def going the painted route, but i can't decide between the bmwoemshop's spoiler or shadowspeed's spoiler. Are people still getting the Accord spoiler over the TL one from bmwoem?

What was your final shipped price and how was the fit? Can he paint other colors such as wdp?

From BMWOEMSHOP on ebay painted for 80$. The fit was perfect and the color matched pretty well. I added extra 3M tape and only applied a little of the provided glue.
