Overkill? Rear AND Roof Spoilers?

neuronpetkowski · 07-06-2006, 04:16 PM

Just wondering.

I've got the rear spoiler and was wondering how many have the rear roof spoiler as well.
Is it overkill to have both?

Sedan_Clan · 07-06-2006, 04:24 PM

My vote goes to overkill.

thekewl1 · 07-06-2006, 04:27 PM

i think overkill. makes the back too busy. one or the other gets my vote.

Asiann · 07-06-2006, 04:58 PM

I think it looks pretty good. Have you seen other members pics?

Yep! I still consider it overkill regardless of the 3-series designation (...E36, E46, E90, etc.). But to each their own as modding is simply about preference.

shragon · 07-06-2006, 05:13 PM

i think it doesn't look too bad if your car is heavily modified.

GET BOTH! I guess I'm a lil biased though --I have the OEM rear spoiler, and I recently added the ACS roof spoiler. To me, the back looks more complete that way...

SocalTy · 07-06-2006, 05:49 PM

I like the both which is why I ordered both.

At first however, I must admit that I wasn't feeling the roof spoiler but it definitely grew on me.

nyyankee · 07-06-2006, 05:55 PM

I aready have the OEM deck lid spoiler on my car, and I just bought the ACS roof spoiler. I havent yet installed the roof spoiler, but i'm worried that it might be to much.

I think that i'm going to install it, if I dont like it I can always take it off. It's not like its going on the paint, it only goes on the window.

John · 07-06-2006, 08:50 PM

depends what you do with the car. roof spoiler works with some mods, and not with others

ksfrogman · 07-06-2006, 09:10 PM

Here are some examples.

My modified ACS replica roof spoiler with OEM rear spoiler:

longtran's modified ACS replica roof spoiler + OEM CF M-Tech rear spoiler:

ACS Roof spoiler + ACS trunk spoiler:

AznBeemer23's Hamann roof and Hamann trunk spoiler:

A part of me agrees. Nobody wants too much "junk in the trunk," on or near it. I could live with or without the roof spoiler.

I think so, and if you have a sun roof and crack it open o man......

just4kickz · 07-06-2006, 09:46 PM

haha... i havent opened up the sun roof for a while... but then again i've been driving on the hills and on the highway lately so opening that up would just let in leaves and dust...

but yeah IMHO thats why i had that other thread asking for a picture of a car w/o the deck spoiler but w/ the roof spoiler... at first i thought that without the deck spoiler, the roof spoiler might look kinda silly... but after a while it looks allright. I guess its just preference as everybody would say...

chicagolab · 07-06-2006, 10:15 PM

I see in ksfrogman's first pic that you can see the third brake light, but the camera angele looks a little low. Just curious, when you install the roof spoiler is the 3rd brake light easily seen by other motorists?? (BTW I have been comtemplating the roof spoiler without the rear deck spoiler)

climkt · 07-06-2006, 11:04 PM

definitely overkill. i resisted the urge to get a TRD roof spoiler for my g9 corolla with a boot spoiler too. i personally feel bmws , unlike jap cars ,cannot be overdone. too much and it looks less executive and classy.

aphall · 07-07-2006, 02:57 AM

Yeah, here's that thread with pics that just4kickz was talking about.

My car is with roof spoiler, no deck spoiler. Personally, I like it.

Pretender · 07-07-2006, 03:36 AM

Whatever, let's do the poll. I don't think it's overkilled at all. Looked good to me. That's why I decided to buy it last time. No regret.

....dont say nobody.....i love "junk in the trunk" vida guerra

I agree, if its heavily modded, then itll look nice. but if thats all that there is, it looks tacky imo...

Paul330d · 07-07-2006, 03:39 AM

I'm not a fan of roof spoilers.

RodyP · 07-07-2006, 03:41 AM

it looks good, i have the hamann roof spoiler and the oem rear spoiler
