this is just me guys...personally the rear looks fine to me, there's no need for any mods there. even if i want to, i'd rather spend the money buying cf or normal CSL boot instead of the roof and trunk spoilers

i think if you spring for the carbon fiber OEM spoiler you need a roof spoiler just to complete the look. If you have a regular OEM spoiler its not too agressive, so it can stand alone. i dunno, just a roof spoiler looks a little off to me.

I like both too, in fact, I've got both en route from eBay purchases. I ordered a replica OEM spoiler about a month ago, but when it arrived, the tip on the passenger side was all scratched up. So, I took some photos, contacted the seller, and he's sending me a new one (after filing a shipping insurance claim with FedEx)
The ACS replica roof spoiler shipped yesterday from Taiwan. Can't wait! ![]() Minor mods so far include 38% tint on the rear windows and rear windshield (front window tinting is illegal here), and ACS aluminum pedals.

Some side-by-side pics of ACS-style roof spoiler only setup and roof and deck spoiler setup. As you can see, the ACS-style roof spoiler, really is a very subtle piece and blends in nicely with the roof line. I don't think it stands out enough to be a polarizing issue...it's good company for the shark fin.

FORM follows FUNCTION.
Question I always ask myself before I ADD anything to my car is this. "Does it improve performance?"
Second question I ask is, what is the "cost vs. benefit?" What does the roof spoiler supposed to do anyhow? |

it really has no value asides from it changes the look of the car ... i took the roof spoiler simply cause it completed the look of the car in my opinion. i didn't get thinking i would get my HP or aerodynamics as much i wish i did. it simply comes down to different tastes. |
